feet stuffed into socks
smothering gasping for air —
bare-naked freedom

Lost Love
I wanted your touch
To get lost in you
Smothering kisses
Burning, ever consuming passion
Never ending
To whisper
I love you...

Unhappiness
Depression's distant cousin
invited to stay awhile.
Clouds of gray block the sunshine,
smothering its rays

Drunken Fairies
Drunken fairies flutter by hedges,
Friesian heifers graze grass to the edges
Of fields where tufts of meadow grass grow,
Smothering weeds and roots below....

Mac and Cheese In a Broccoli Wood
I have a craving for cheese
Milky smooth and oozy;
Hot and melty, buttery
Cheese sauce smothering
My broccoli wood
It’s cheesy
Joy....

Superfluous
Your love for me has been far too smothering and superfluous.
Your light in my spiritual path was so luminous.
Now after all this time, I am left blinded by hubris....

An Infinite Horizon
An infinite horizon
Painted with my blood
I’m breathing life
Into this world
Smothering the sky
With my heart
Humanity needs more of this
Will you join my fight?...

No One Home
Fog from age settles in
Like a gloaming of night
Smothering from within
Extinguishing all light

Blind Minds
On a lonely shore crowded with people
I dropped a pebble into a rock pool
Saw ripples obliterate the sky
Smothering voices of Yates and Goldsmith
Gods are not heard in underwater minds...

The Tightening Noose
Parents,
hover over their children
Adults,
smothering their young
Choices curtailed,
freedom spoon fed
Gallows
—for youth to be hung

No Title
I've walled my lands
pondering,
so lost,
kicking the very dust bags
that cloud my mind.
I must learn
to pick up my feet,
for I have
been smothering
the very treasures
I've been seeking....

Flames
Flames dance
in burnt cinders
flickering like fireflies
smothering the mundane to stir
passion

"pepperdenia"
Hot and mean as fire
syrupy sweet gardenia
morphed right before me
a known creative

still burn ya, even dried
cloying smothering
gardenia still once
withered faded brown...

Escape
Evening was draping dark
Shrouds of yesterday,
Smothering it with stark
Sheets of black and grey.
Now the open graves of night
Free the dawn once more:
Morning moves in robes of light
From the night-tomb’s door....

A Tramore Bay Sunrise
Golden orb escapes
from night born clouds
The grey sea smiles
azure shades of welcome
Powder white seagulls
sing out Hallelujah
The sky robs Turners palette
flinging its contents
Smothering the air
resurrecting my bay...

On the Line
Beyond academia
its cause and effect
Lies a power inherent
above judgment and theft
Atop its ivory tower
and smothering vine
Consensus is trembling

A Fallen Star
Would you keep on twinkling for me?
Perhaps once more, and I'll let you be
I want to hide you away in this night
But that would mean smothering your light
