to sail
a dying craft
its keel

gone
laying waste in
vast
the need

Flies 
buzz inside 
laying waste within;
If I had sewed their mouth shut? 
Clean;
A soapy bar would be safe 
never touching teeth; 
Falsehoods breed
dirt....

You spark my thoughts,
flame my desires,
a passion laying waste to the page.
Words of ink
shimmer in the distance
a mirage appears as your face.
I lap at the thoughts before they disappear,
burning at the sweet embrace....

Stripping off
laying waste
there is a distinct sound of slither from the bushes

transformation
oddly enough
being born in the year of the snake
is fitting
as I shed
my cocoon of self absorption

shadows are now light
and light is now brilliance
as it bounces across the waters of my soul...

there is no suspect
there is only one
that which is alone
that which is me....
