Evenfall

Blue mist rises on the lake,
As pale moonlight shimmers
The rippling lagoon with
Faint spectral shadows,
Ebbing slowly to the shore.

Ebbing slowly to the shore.

Skeleton Tree At Sunset

Skeleton Tree At Sunset

mangled phalanges
reach from haunched spectral shoulders
death screams at dusk

crown on grass
gold flakes fall with leaves
fire furrow paves garden path
gilded trees adorn autumn’s spectral splendor

CLERIHEW ekphrasis NEWMAN

A one-off was Barnett Newman 
spectral closeness was his plan
He created the art of the zip*
two colours in a mural clip

Salmon

Listen to poem:
Frothing, frigid fjords
Fling forth fine stippled
Salmon, streaking upstream.
Roe-rich fish, flashing
Fat and fulgent:
Spurred to spawn, to spurt
Then sputter -- spasmodic.
Spectral. Unspared.

Accessories

When vague ghosts and spectral mists manifest fully clothed garbed in period dress or suit. My one question is, why aren't they naked? Humans may have a soul, but clothes do not.

Appearance

Each and every morning a dreamer awakens from one dream to another, realms where the real is never real. These words are written upon spectral ripples of water, by someone else not yet alive.

Dreams In Plaid

He dreams in electric themes
draping around the armchairs
he wheezes  down time

Across feral fields his eyes skims
the scenery
His shadow silhouetted by the evening sun
aware of the amolaly
recalling a spectral  youth

West

i plagued my mind
by the waters edge
the winds came gently
the August people sneered
a smile beguiled though
as we became one
from grey to gold
west is behoven
our lives spent
spectral stories told
now we are alone

Beasts of the Morning

My beasts of the morning
Come shadowing,lurking
Into my soul they plunder
Mercilessly
Turning their leering eyes upon me
Gleeming their spectral bodies unto me
Mercilessly
And I know my beasts of the morning
And I serve them well

Haunted House

A lonely house behind the park,
The place is derelict and dark,
And shutters keep us out.
I picture inside bleak and stark,
With spectral dogs that howl and bark,
And ghosts that walk about.

A Spectral Change To Another Space

A spectral dream
to forestall
they can try
but can't prise my grip
from my tenuous grasp
of reality
in the dream
it's myself
i'm most afraid
and the night
is not my friend
when the ghosts
rise from the dead
and howl to keep me awake.

Dawn Colors In the Bay

fuchsia gold pink dawn
naturally it's beauty
sunburst in the bay
the hour of hush still rapture
melted colors drift to sea

at the verge of day
in the time of green tree songs
wading in waters
beneficent sunshine rays
in an age of spectral skies

Whispers of the Forgotten

In the shadowed alcove of memory, Where forgotten dreams curl like smoke, I wander, a spectral seeker, Tracing the edges of existence.

The moon, a pale witness, Hangs low, its silver gaze unyielding, As if it knows the secrets etched Into the marrow of my bones.

Muse

Muse

As I sit here I wounder what it could be, 
this blank void of inspiration?

Your beauty eludes the masses, 
as your spectral light penetrates my lobes 
an electrical energy vibrates my cerebrum.  

Do I deserve such attention from such ethereal beings?

Lollapalooza

A world of sunshine 
Awaits the silver chirpy 
skylark perched on grey  scale branch 
as golden mornings 
usher in their spectral hue
that filter through the seamless 
mesh or float of rafts 
on green leaf bird house chant flock 
whose silken strain enchants me

I Believe

I believe
the size of one’s soul
as it hovers in heaven
is linked to life
experiences.
No doubt,
expanded spectral orbs
     of mountain climbers
     and fighter pilots,
     world travelers and thrill seekers,
     parents and poets,
will almost be as large
as those of
readers.

Midsummer Moment

Romantic shadows of
Luminous love
Lend intense warmth
To a midsummer night as
Sensuous fragrance,
Shimmering moonlight,
Combine in nature's backdrop
While a quartet of flutes
At the water's edge
Enhances spectral mists and
Hushes soft laughter
For a moment of nocturnal tranquility.

Prayers Said

I awake music vaguely opaque among torrid strands of dna inviting into the spiral spectral array weaving to and fro in gregarious display hypnotized, I can but shake my head I stumble back to bed prayers said Charles Henderson for Night Melody Contest Aug 20, 2012

To An Angel Treasured Inside Love

Shining brightly flashes of white light 
into spectral colours sparkle inwardly 

Atoms arranged within a crystal structure domed 
a gemstone takes shape measured from the clarity of beauty
 
Within diamond ultraviolet wavelengths transmit visible
jewel jubilantly crowned regally royal gift

Poltergeist

POLTERGEIST

Sometimes the past seems very remote
— again, close as the hallway—
Tonight I’m looking over my shoulder,
folks I knew thirty—even forty—years ago,
friends and lovers— old enemies.
My room is full of ghosts,
quarrels, conversation of the absent, the missing--
a spectral hand on my arm!

To the Mannered

Worn out platitudes
have we come this far ?,
returning all possessed souls
and in the midst  he slayed summer
in a  spectral wooden cupboard
with worn shoes,
and now the lesson is over
by touching all those far apart,
roaming by the foreshore
to see their stranger within
the catch net of life assured
