Eternity Burns

Apocalypse kindles    
relighting the fire
Malignant denominators
melt from above
Savior disdained 
pontificate’s stain 
Tomorrow endemic
— in nuclear love

My Thoughts

every once in awhile
a small piece slips through
stirring the ashes
relighting the thoughts
kindling something that wasn’t 

sun shines on dew droplets
caught in a web of deceit
too many to count
too many to forget
too many memories

Caught In The Glow

Do you like
knowing
or the idea
of knowledge
The pretense
of perception
or a wellspring
sublime

Political
correctness
or the search
for a moonbeam
Relighting
your way
as you glow
— in its shine

The Relighting

For you
to be right
must I always
 be wrong
Can’t our thoughts
live together
like the words
of a song
That plays and
surrounds us
without judgment
or blame
Relighting 
the cosmos
with harmony’s
— flame

Offloaded Clean

What is the age of reality
how many birthdays is that

Peaked hats and streamers wrapping the truth
candles relighting the facts

Wishing for the ultimate void
our consciousness offloaded clean

Clearing the way for the square root of now
—its present regifting the dream

Teasing Tankas

Before my eyes blink
In rays of a waking day
I can see you smile
As my arms gently embrace
Another night spent with you.

My lips can still taste
The passion found in your heart
Relighting embers
Of my own sensual hunger
As I move into your kiss

I know your essence
The scent of your love lingers
From my dreams each night
My hand reaches the pillow
But you are no longer there.
