Friar of dark night
sullen glances brief broadcast
the unholy moon

Emerges from shadows loom

Demons of Dark

Embrace the shadows
the sun has banished
darkness has swept in
monsters have risen
now,
it's time to feed the demons

Two opaque shadows.
Are baring their souls
Enter the fever heat.
As molten lava flows.
Desire is replete.

Staring at the dark
Enemies from the shadows
Paranoia draws;
Refuse its windmill fight and
Dream into tomorrow's light

apparitional figures
peering hollow eyes
calculating shrewd moods,
anguish mortal clarity...

When I Visited a Mountain Temple In Korea

Shadows on the valley floor
Appear with the rising sun
Pine trees cling to the steep slopes
Over boulders a stream runs

darkness was descending
with long shadows she came
to participate in this game

We dance in silence
Like it's the very first time
Lost in the moment
Candlelight shadows and I
Witness your beauty anew

Marching Forward

In fiery halls where shadows play
A voice that echoes, bold and bray
Trump marches forth, come what may

Between a dream and a nightmare is a place without a name

A gathering of half baked shadows waiting for a shape to claim

As the heat subsided
A cool grayness crept in
Exhausted shadows slept
Limp leaves exhaled hope
Open windows inhaled it

Yaldabaoth embellished in his shadows

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

Ode To Hilda Doolittle

Our men, frail from fruit, walk among hyacinth shadows
They crawl across marblewalk courtyards-
Mist in quivering sunlight

The Ripple Effect

Chasing night shadows,
The day is enough for us,
Our burning passion,
Raging and turbulent sea,
Awakens us in the night.
