This
Ornate
Fine silver
Gathering dust.
Hands splayed, overlaid
With golden promises
Caught in persuading rings.
Blood diamond among crystals,
Unsullied with obligations and
Laying in your four chambered treasure chest...

Starlight sparkles on snow falling, gently down to earths embrace.
   Now she's dressed in pure white satin, elegantly, so precise.
   Overlaid with frozen snowflakes, fragile as the finest lace.
   Winters morning starts adorning, trims with pearly beads of ice.

Inbetweeness 
    inwardsness
 in
     facsimile contrasts 

energy
     deployed innovatively

  an equilibrium 
of parallels pursued
     interwoven
 overlaid

 lines with circles 
in reciprocal
        motifs 
counterpoint 

        visualisaed 

slowly

    in 
        mosaical 

harmony....

While the band plays on
  dancers grow drowsy
    stifling a yawn
    
Half-empty bottles here and there
  couches overlaid with outerwear
     while the band plays on

Drunken arms over backs of chairs lay
  chests rise and fall slowly, feet splayed
     while the band plays on

The dance floor now empty
  last notes float out the door
     the world sober once more...

Proclamation

insecure from where it came
or who delivered it
waterfall overlaid my face

ignorant with the meaning
my awareness stood untouched
someone was gone
and waterfall overlaid my face

the voice came
that
from my tree the leaf was ripped
thrown to earth
and became 
sepia 
so waterfall overlaid my face

I picked up the leaf and stored it in a memory ...
how awful sound in the night those drops of heavy water...

my palette is encrusted
with all the dried remnants
of yesterdays hopes
where strokes of genius and folly
were first born in
a fresh imagination

my canvas
overlaid with realities
correcting unfinished pieces of dreams
that were once so perfect
so beautiful that nothing else
would ever do

expectations sketched with
a once steady hand
until one day
i stood back
embraced reality 
and
the priceless gifts of

imperfection...

There once was a time 
  when you lived on the inside

When you pierced my veneer,
  and saw what I saw

You knew what I knew,
  and felt what I felt

Your thoughts were my thoughts,
  your words finished mine

There once was a time
  when our circles were one

Two spirit's concentric,
  our soul's overlaid

That time has now passed,
  the feelings have gone

Both circles left broken,
 —with love on the run 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)...

It Hangs, 
   listless
      and yet
every nuance of light 
   draws the mind in deeper,
            shadows
                  and security.

Slivers of the sun,
      overlaid
            upon crimson gold,
almost hiding her darkness
                 (never admitted)
         shadows 
              and security.

A twist of her head
       engages
   the taste of thought,
chasing away
    the calamity of fear,
          shadows
               and security....

================================================

~*~

wreathing this life's mind's eye - wrenched, gnarled, hit, burked
neurons in diminution - clashed, rammed, slayed
futility tops up canvass of murk
phonemes, words, phrases now frolicly played
heart's lyrical requiem overlaid
poesy - penned, written in woe death's crypt
shrieking the LIMITLESS lines of my SCRIPT.
