What lay within?

Night Sky
Oh glamorous thief
You have stolen all my dreams
And hidden them each
In your obsidian keep
Where I search for them in vain....

Light
I’ll keep this light in a box
Of crystal and obsidian
And bury it in my chest
I’ll let it melt and flow
And shine behind my eyes...

Puppet
Scrapped myself across
obsidian finger tipped
tree tops
as the blistered red yawn
drags upon saliva skies
skin and bone
hanging empty doll
prone to be alone...

Metatrons Cube
An Obsidian cube
rotating the waves
in liquid frenzy;
surf sings its elation;
Metatron’s cube.

A Flock of Crows
Over lambent plains
of blond wheat,
braided spikes
rustling
in flaxen breeze,
a flock of crows
seesaws
like obsidian scythes
in cider firmament
under harvest sun's afternoon eye....

West Coast Trail First Night
Quiet, but for the steady
murmur of waves along
an obsidian beach.
Remnants of an ocean storm,
somewhere between
here and Japan.
Sometime between
Passé Imparfait et
Plus-que-parfait....

Obsidian Stubborn
Idea concrete
Encased in platinum
Obsidian
No persuasion
Enters in
Or can enter out
Once decided
Resolutely unchangeable
I know this man
Idea concrete
Inaccessible
Opened never...

Trauma-Induced Dissociation
So, "let it ***ing rain."
"The death of us."
Drowned in fire and ice.
"Good knight"
(Obsidian butterfly) you broke my heart
But, you, (Snow white), shattered my heart, mind, and soul....

Silent Strike
Obsidian velvet
Parts the leaves;
Silent paws impress
The land and in
Moonlit shadows;
A great specter hides.
In one swift flash
Of light and shadow-play,
Panther takes his prey.

those red lips
ruby
red lips kiss
the watery sapphire depths
upon hot summer morning
sky's obsidian recesses and below
shadowy depths inky puzzle awaits light
creatures come to life when those
lips offer kisses
comforting
red lips ...

No Rest For the Weary
Wolves baying at old
Mother Moon as she sits in
Obsidian sky;
Night slipped unnoticed;
Across the land, waking her;
Assigned her to work.
She and Sun will not
Be able to retire;
They will work till death....

No Rest For the Weary
Wolves baying at old
Mother Moon as she sits in
Obsidian sky;
Night slipped unnoticed;
Across the land, waking her;
And put her to work.
She and Sun will not
Be able to retire;
They will work till death.

Alone With You
I can hear you sigh
As you rustle the sheets,
Lost in a dream.
Sleep is evading me
So I lay
With you
And look through my window
Not at the obsidian lake
Nor the candlelit roses
But at the luminescent moon
Beautiful in its solitude....

October Opulence
Overwhelming, onset of October
Ogling old owls
Overjoyed with orange overgrowth
Overtakes obsidian opulence.

Darren
There is a dragon named Darren
His scales gleaming gold and obsidian
Lore, emotions, magic, protection
These are his specialties
He is guide, friend, and mentor
Without him I would be
One of the soulless dead
Consuming all who draw near

The Crow
He spreads his lordly cape to slow his descent, gloved talons softly gripping metal throne, his obsidian pallium opulent and ominous. Empowered by wonder and awe, I swallow fear, holding the chthonic messenger’s gaze
Curiosity binds us
The vigilant Seraphim turns...

Beautiful Mammoth Mountain Memories
Drinking from clear, gurgling streams,
catching frogs, unfolding dreams,
without iPhones, watches or clocks,
sitting high on granite rocks -
my memory is unwinding
a young boy exploring and finding
pumice and obsidian flakes
in the mountains over Mammoth Lakes....

Temple of Life
You are my obsidian dream and I will quarry your love
In the Temples of Oblivion, reveal your secrets to me!
Let us strike a mortal bargain to smite the dull frame of night.
