We Pollinate the Sea

Looming on the horizon A flock of yellow jacket bees Pollinating red coral rifts Thirsting for the sea


Premium Member Dead Man Walking

Which is that aspect of me
Looming in delusional ennui
Numbed to innate inner sentience
Of bliss outpouring in innocence

Dead Road

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.

At the Show

Drama against the footlight’s glare
Phantoms crouch, 
Looming shadows,
Revolving props,
The stage disappears with the play.

Self-Sabotage

Inside the ice cave
Drops of fear and regret form
Looming icicles,
Enslaved by apprehension
Let your fiery heart break free

Telltale Signs

Spacetime but emergent,
the string on nature’s kite

Reeling in a looming giant
—beyond both day and night

Retirement coming Crescent looming on the back Wrapped old trees in cloth.

You left with the first autumn leaves

Your hair smells 
of conifer forests 
and the Michaelmas summer 
that I nurture on my palms.

Winter is looming,
they cut down the trees.

Sleep

Daylight sparkling
Rushing vehicles
Deadlines looming
Sweating and running.

I love sleep.
Darkly stripping.
Softly slipping.
Deepness, forgetting.

Paranoia

The spirit of death-
Always looming overhead
Will it be me?
Or will it be them?

What will I lose today?
Who will I lose today?
Will it be me today?

Salute To the Smoke

Salute to the smoke!
Looming near the blue sky.. 
On this sizzling summer's afternoon.
Some saint has lit the far fire
In the forest's upper cedars' cover.

Refusing To Play

Looming large in my absence,
  the silence screamed out my name

Present in my rejection
 —refusing to play the game

Fuel crisis 
One analysis.'
Liquid lock-down'
Looming now?
Sleight of tounge
And there's  the
Slight of honour 
Don't believe 
The lies they 
Proffer.!

A Ship Has Sailed

a ship has sailed
tears flowing
a labored breath 
upon my cheek

off in the distance
dark shadows looming
out to sea her image fading

a ship has sailed

Premium Member Shadows Looming

Shadows loom over
Evoking gray surroundings
Confusing your mind
Until one day you decide
To make up mind forever

Clouded Seduction

Living overtly upon a burning bridge, life stands captive within the vision of a 
thousand. Clouded seduction, the epiphany of eradication looming among senses 
overt.

nature looming in dark
choking ice dust heaven earth
worlds cauterized black
trees barren childless
dead before time erased time
burnt blood dehydrated

The sands of time
swirl about the streets
fleeing sunset
fearful of a darkness
looming in each daybreak.

From Trump Did Sense

From Trump Did Sense

From Trump as usual  we did sense,
A lie was formed as false pre-tense;
Time consuming,
While looming;
With much suspense were very tense.

Business May Be Booming

Business May Be Booming

We heard business may be booming;
Overhead many rumors are looming;
Times are hard;
Scarred and marred;
So much sin seems to be consuming.

Distant Horizon

Looming ahead and not near

Days mark the distance.

I put you in a 
safe place in my heart.
we had words 
you left into the looming dark.
I saw you with more clarity, 
and yet, I hold you in a safe 
place in my heart.

Premium Member Shadow Working

You learn to embrace your very own darkening
When trapped in a prison of your own making.
When it is the lights that were always looming,
Yet never letting the light in for any healing.
