Obscuring mist in our midst
Time passes through us...

A lonely lady at the automat
The hiding lights obscuring
Outside and inner thoughts...

Brilliant nightfall views 
Barbs of darkening hues 
Specter of sunlight gems 
Vespers obscuring into godsends
Elegant devoutness 
In worshipping grandness...

Got that Devil Man
   on my back
   claws a-digging’ deep,
Obscuring 
   with his veil 
   of foggy  confusion
the what  I need
   with
the what  I want.

December’s wintry
breath is already clouding
the pond, frosting the 
windowpanes, and obscuring 
summer’s splendid memories...

a grand sweeping hand
obscuring insight,
commanding demand
with energies bright
to seize and appease
while motions most sleight
corrupt to disrupt
when skeptics indict....

Drat!
To the obscuring daylight,
That buries the stars;
Devalues the character of the moon;
And most of all,
Blinds my eyes,
To the essence of your candlelight beauty.
Drat, I say.
Drat!...

Obsession

Overwhelming desire
Obscuring all else, thus
Only one thing matters:
Obtaining what you want.
Offensive measures may
Override common sense.
Obstinate pursuit rules.

Hands of Giants

Morning window, orange sunrise.
Ice crystals of frost slightly obscuring

winnter black trunks, tumultuous limbs;
hands of giants waving good morning 

for last night's departing gale!...

change 
is a seed of revolution 
and it comes on the chariot 
of evolution; the beginning of the 
creation is an obscuring egg 
of our inquisitive mind 
and the end is too

With dusk, more dark ensuring
Light, more alluring!
Midst Day's coarse what, to conceive
Had been obscuring.

When left to Moon's, stride on stride
Angel's, by one's side
To be guided, guarded by.
If lone. Lost inside....

SNOW

Slowly it crept across the peak
Numbing the core of life’s lament
Obscuring what had been before
White shroud upon dreams firmament.

Grief is a splinter of love, left behind. Sometimes you wouldn’t think you had a splinter. Other times — a wrong move, a familiar smell, a piece of mail —and that splinter suddenly feels like a painful tree, obscuring the light that used to live in your soul....

The night falls
Dust from a thousand years
Accumulating on that which the eyes once saw
Obscuring
Still the breeze
Silence the sound
She sifts into the gaping mouth
Nil the breath
Fill the body with her shadow
To sleep for ten thousand more
This black tomb....

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY


I can’t decide what I want to hide
But I don’t have anything to show
To conceal all one feels
The fog’s obscuring all that I know
Conditions find the light that blinds
Clarify these blurry lines
I beseech you
Cut the cursed tie that binds...

SAD*

When right is wrong
yet wrong isn't right
I lay awake on winter’s night
vainly searching for inner light
finding only emptiness within.
There is no form here only
an amorphous vapour
obscuring all and
revealing nothing.

My earthly eyes, why do you persistently prevent 
      
My probing mind, the real essence of things to find
     
By
 
Focusing on materiality’s ever changing phenomena,

Obscuring thus Truth and risk my soul’s eyes to blind?

Slow burning funeral pyre
Whose flame burns with desire
Smoke clouds obscuring the sky high
Things I left as I was too shy

What remains for me in the end
Broken dreams not a friend
Resting, pleading hopes of romance
But at the time I didn’t learn the dance.

light
                    bright, luminescent 
             shining, signaling, beaming 
fluorescent, illumination, silhouette, vestige 
            obscuring, following, stalking 
                      umber, darkened
                              shadow
