Wind Chaser

Their dreams of uncertain truth are nothing short of dense foolishness. They seek protection under the shadow of the wind


With Out Colors

With out colors 
The dark shadow an 
Air-mass wealth against the 
Night forever upon us with
Thee color no longer around.

gentleness caressed
          as night's still shadow ascends
               restful transcendence

Sea of Blue Shadow Mountains

when
you look
through
the
rose windows of
my soul
you
shall see
a sea of
blue shadow mountains
in
my cathedral

A dark shadow jumps
Green eyes blink gently at me...
My heart stops racing

A Shadow Stretches

The way a shadow stretches,
When sunlight shudders down,
Can make the horns of a devil
Look like the sporks of a crown.

gathers an evening...
a small shadow
underneath her wing
shapes the firmament

sobs turned louder crying
swooned burned mind felt
sorrow floated hung there
shadow like unclear

The lite dime in the ditance
there is a shadow
it is the dream
it is a cloud of doubt

More than once I beckoned
More than once I tried
To cower down beneath you
My shadow, my pride.

happiness is a shadow 
you cannot catch it

Tomorrow

Twilight makes a sorrowed ground
In her dark is where I'm found
Here I be his final shadow
Growing but dying this I know

Yaldabaoth embellished in his shadows

Caliginous eyes
Fearsome face of sickly white
Lion-headed snake
Embellished in his shadows  
With flaming orange beneath

Chauvinist

The right to freedom
Casts but a shadow of doubt
For the luckiest
Can not see it or hear it
And there appears, chauvinist

Lamp

Your shadow returns
In pearled tinges to calm wound’s ache---
Still, I grieve for death
 When final lamp of midnight fades

Naked

To relieve
the pressure
on my brain
I took my cloak
from the shadow
for the moon
had cast me
in an indifferent
light.
