buried it in a drift of snow
curious, I returned in spring
to see a patch of flowers glowing.

Love not returned the same way
My intensity
Not felt by your tender heart
Love is something you don’t know

glittered my soul soon alarmed
gone like a breeze sweat returned

reality slipped away
as truth returned uncensored

Untitled #174 / a Spaced-Out Moment

A spaced-out moment playing calculator games
in our calculus class, returned to infancy
within the boredom of checking homework

influence pulls to and fro

forever knowing

shore returned to destruction

anew the cycle begins

back filled with wheals and scars
his escape rapid

Admiring three Islands
Perennials returned
Your harsh words they've outgrown
How would YOUR garden grow?

the rookery erupts 
in noise

It returned at night, 
with fangs out and mouth open.
A fierce need to feed,
camoflauged by a tame face. 
Mind every empty mirror.

Crossing the London Bridge by trike, 
I observed a head upon a pike. 
So, I politely doffed my cap
and returned home to take my nap.

Growing Love

Unbridled Childhood Love grows

Like a Rose Bud, in the Garden Of Youth

Was it I, who stole a kiss

And returned it to You forever

Daisies Bloom Again

I have no sense of dread
The veil has lifted
Sorrow is gone
My heart teems with life anew
The sun has returned
And daisies bloom again

Took in all that it could
For weeks
Months maybe
Drooping and dark
Once bright and beautiful
Returned to its roots

Mark shot his arrow on Saturday
It never returned, just sped away
	It took a wrong turn –

Maybe it will be back on Friday

No Witness

No living witness to The Truth
None has died, returned to testify.
Each his day, back to the root
Tombstone a memory beneath which to sigh.

Creeping warm and green
when the sun returned golden,
spring sang in meadows.
Blooming mountains, bumblebees-
all danced to loved melodies.
