Ink

Ink black night
Immaculate star light
mind opens
a rush
beside nurtured body
Hush
Cool milky skin
when did this begin?
you CAN be free
Come swim with me

Premium Member Noonday July Sky

scorching blood red orb
clouds on silken mirror gleam 
noonday cosmic flare
ink black thunder growls, monsoon 
squall from volatile blue sky


NB Red orb is a synonym for the sun.

Fireflies

in the cool air of the spring time late evening
the night sky was ink black
as the lights went off , 
the  university ground was in great commotion,
shimmering sparkles of phosphorous,
we thought the forest was on fire

Happy and Sad

Rain
Dark clouds
Ink black sky
Stormy weather
A rainstorm always makes me feel happy

Hate the glare reflected on wet pavements
When the rain stops
Hurts my eyes
Makes me
Frown

I Would Paint a Wolf

I
Would paint
A lone wolf,
Silver grey and
Strong. He sits watching
Me at the edge of the
Wood, as a mist rises from the
Ground. Above the trees the moon is
Bright, yet the trees are still bathed in
Shadow. White stars shine in the ink black sky.

Premium Member The Moon and Stars

There was a chill in the Fall night_
as I walked about my neighborhood,
and up above the full moon was an orange ball,
in the ink black sky watching me.
And sparkling here and there, everywhere were stars,
twinkling like precious little diamonds.

Hide In the Open

Don't dash in frightened flight,
don't hide in ink-black night;

   strange, but to the obvious
   many are oblivious;

      you are, in glaring light,
      unseen in plainest sight;

         at times what's true is this:
         what seems can seem what is!

Death - Like a Sweet Angel

Love is failing
    and the secret lies 
in forgetting
   You really  know what 
you need to be
     Dark shadows 
enter into your life
  Let them enter
For the sweetest release 
     will come along son
Don't know how or when 
      But let us dive into 
the deeper pool 
    Before we are enveloped 
by ink black night

Acresdown by Moonlight

A cold full moon greets baby Mars
Ink black sky shot through with diamond stars
A crystal wrap cloaks acres down
Ethereal light floods all around

Golden dear cross the sky line
To pull Santa’s slay one more time
An owl hoots out his mournful song
Christmas is coming it won’t be long

The Scuba Diver

The Scuba Diver 

we look down
signal frantically
‘come up’,
though it is already 
too late

he dances wide eyed
with ecstasy
as the nitrogen 
tickles his cells

anemones
cling to the steep
rock walls
fish feed and dawdle
incuriously

we peer through
our tiny windows
into the ink black sea

as he goes 
free wheeling 
down, 
down,
a rictus of laughter 
on his face

A Smoking Gun

A SMOKING GUN

Beholding planet Earth from the far reaches of space, 
In the ink black cosmos the observers must give voice
What a beautiful planet have we here
A very unusual blue and green glowing sphere
It must be the gateway to heaven's door
Let's go have a look -- what are we waiting for
If the  visitors decide to land on this inviting earthly scene
They'd be met with guns and  bullets before counting  to 13

Fragments

I said I couldn’t write 
for I am an empty pen,
my ink wasted
on letters no one will read.
Torn, crumpled,
fed to the black hole
of a trash can.

Now I write of silence
Etching words into wood
For I have broken my vow with the papers
It isn’t determination,
nor delusion
just a moment,
a fragment that insists on staying.

And still, I write
not with ink,
but with the sharp edge
of a pen
long drained of stain.

Black, His Story

Brutally battered and beaten
Long, long way from home
Aching inside hurts more than lashes and reaping
Children and wife long gone
Kept in chains, freedom done gone

Hide! Hide! No time for larking
Ink black nights, and days of running
Shouting, shooting, dogs a-barking.

Stop by the river, wade in the water
Tubman sends canoe and more kinsmen come
Over the river to Canada’s shelter
Reunited with children…, and wife done come
Yes!  Freedom done come.  Freedom done come

The Destroyer

An empty page lies before me
Pure and white, as all untouched things are
Soon to be covered with ink black as night
And I am the perpetrator
Is this a sin, to desecrate such innocence?
Should I regret the destruction I know will take place?
Destruction I will inevitably cause
Pure and white; an epitome of the light
Ink black as night; soon to smother without remorse
Hand shaking, feeling what Ink cannot
Ink is the weapon, nothing more
I am the monster; destroyer of the pure
