Black-eyed double cross
big trouble inkblot marriage
pick up the peaces?
malevolent storm mistress
beguiled mean streets surrender...

Fountain pens scribe paper

Feathers inkblot meaning

Furrow stanza rhythm rhymes  

Feel caress intuit

Fine tapestry emote

Flirtatious poetry

Flowing love in motion

i've tried to write for you
i've tried to put into words
The most intimate, and meaningful things
To ever cross my mind

I cross my heart 
I think i would die
If i could force my feelings
Into just one line

But the syllables they never sound
As powerful once they make it out
Pass my lips and through air
They're softer than you could ever hear...

I listen for a rhythmic tapping 
in the dark. As if it might 
be coming from the stars,
a ticking like a distant heart.

Beyond the breeze in inkblot
woods, beyond the cricket song
and echo-signals of the bats:
is it imagination or a sigh?

Soft, like a lost dog at the door
and yet insistent. Just like 
an old forgotten friend tapping
at a shut-tight door....

ends in a parking lot,
alone with a scream.
his finger’s still

on the trigger.
crimson shield
with the pulse

of a coward.
the inkblot rug

a psychotic freeze
to be analyzed.

the rigor mortis statue,
placed in hell’s museum —

an unmarked grave,
no love could save.

victims of violence
brought back to life,

at the Creator’s command.
He holds their hands.

cerulean sky in open eyes.
thankful hearts satisfied.
