kohl tombstones
        enveloped by mist . . .
                     the vanished moon...

Wheatish skin, brown hair,
pink nailed, red lipped and kohl eyed
deep inside pure white
colourless, bland and at peace
not painted, tainted or dyed

Redolent reverie
Rain-soaked in raspberry 
Roses most delicate
Runes woven from star seeds
Refulgent petals swirl 
Russet thorns of my heart
Regrets etched in kohl quartz...

Fireflies reel as autumn arrives
Shimmering into kohl of night,
Tiny plumes charm ...in moonlit dives
To rollercoast until twilight--

To later fade,   die from my sight!

I’m lost in a field of forsaken flowers, 
counting crestfallen stars…
and as the lavender moon ascends
to rinse away cold kohl tears~
I call your name in soft cadence, 
pondering, will you ever hear me?...

entrancing soft eyes
whirlpool obscured in black kohl.
Van Gogh heart mix coloured sparks.
vibrant and vivid
a timber fire resurrects 
Is it Life or Nirvana?

Raven seas, 
spellcast waves, 
~ singing hate

Revengeful tides, 
strum the seashores 
with soft cracklings, 
bleeding kohl ice. 

Smoked sienna soul ~ 
a cacophony, 
from vintage gold-vaults, 
shimmering with sighs, 
a saga unheard....

Heart silently shivers
when the roaring clouds burst in electrical light
mind quivers

Trembling in tears
breathlessness, as stars wane from sight
kohl fears

Inked sky
faded twilight
sigh

Heart silently shivers
breathlessness, as stars wane from sight
sigh...

I
dreamt of
a poem
forgot the words
As beneath the salty cold brine of tears
silence floats, whilst I’m coloring kohl rain
in metaphors
of regret
across
blood
red
ruby 
carnations
that bleed silken
sonnets for an ocean-dipped catharsis

Christ a phantom through my hours
flames within a kohl tongue
psalms crack the white cloth like a razor 

On the way back
piercing kneeling knees,
a broken crown's mask

glistening
kindling
memory

Christ a phantom through my hours
piercing kneeling knees —
memory...

When city lights fade, red to kohl

Sullen this dusk rising to cajole,

Pain beckons its shades

As flickering dreams sail on flights;

To unearth memoirs that recite

Wails stabbed like a blade.

White  house  picket  fence  garden
Black hair kohl eyes  blue rose lips 
Chef folding egg whites into souffle
Defrosting preparing cooking lunch
Sculpture of a laurel-crowned  bust
Oriental  rugs  bare  wooden  floors
Inhale   a   sweet  antique  floral  air
Chink  iced-tea glasses Dominoes...

The sky scatters pixie dust~
across orchards of dragonflies;
while in sunflowers, the stars do trust,
tracing tales through kohl-lit eyes. 
A fairy cloaked in soft florals~
fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust.
But within veins of golden corals,
she weaves hope with saffron crust.  ...

Look into someone's eyes, and see beyond the pain,
See the hazy silhouette that they try to contain.
See the blue kohl, and the tears that fall,
And know that they've survived, they've conquered it all.

In someone's eyes, there's a tale to be told,
A story of love, loss, and battles of old.
There's a smoky outline, a shadowy past,
A history of pain that's too long to last....

Let me sing you a song dear,
of moors wide and skies clear,
of love that reside in amber rays,
wild blossom and butterfly plays,
spiders tangled in silver webs,
footprints on the receding ebb,
of smiles dripping with blueberry,
kohl eyed deer and rabbits fuzzy,
silent nights and crystal stream,
dreams bursting at the seams,
the music my dear would echo still,
in your heart remember, if you will....

The blue burst forth upon the trees
with the kind of glow heat lightning leaves
The paper wasps and moths agree
to incense dust the coral seas
As the velvet wonders drowsy yawn
the nightingale begins her song
They all perform this grand charade
to quell the summer's heat tirade
The fascination of the breeze
leaves rings of kohl on all the trees
and autumn exhales all it's zest
to bring the earth to her winter rest....

Moon spills over like expresso coffee, 
withheld in a pitch pitcherlike corset —

Where long her skin's lantern once mothered me,
over tonight are but marble shadows,

Craters' paled apparition in my sky —
those cold breasts now an invisible blur;

This adrenaline dark when light's in wane,
virgin drinks in her cup's phase finally;

Still through a kohl tongue she kisses my hate —
this moon reads newly with every pause....

Kohl your eyes
with soot
Cover yourself 
in girl. I am 
locked in
looking

widow eat me. ha.
flounce and want
extracted from 
propaganda that
made the jail
that holds us

you want the having
complicity on my
dream island. ha.
betrayal from 
behind

annnnngnn release
white into that 
black hole that
society hates
us
to 
love


kiss me spiderwoman
my man will :
be consumed by
trust in 
your fabric
femininity...

HER FALSE MASK


Inked  shade,
raw as
nymph masked
that strides
with  shawl,
hung low
to cloak
dark pride…

Full moon
turns white,
nymph' s face 
hides frames
kohl  mouth
sprays lies,
lures night
with games…

Bleached dew
breaks guise
when rain
scrapes threads;
farce bared
to melt
fear’s past;
her dread…
now free!

I sketch musky infernos with kohl ink
when dead wings of flurry moon lace my
copper blue lashes and ripples
of faith crash furthest seashores,
Draping stelliform-soul
in strokes of starlight
which drizzle as
lemon drops
upon
pink
sheet-
canvas,
So when red
letters twirl like
blood stained cranberries,
rose-gold amulets will
always save the salted flesh
of sun and wildflowers shall shine
as magenta peony-bows in
maroon hair-strings, forever breathing dreams. ...
