Remorse

Spilled remorse staining his tears
Forever...

Silenced love lying in his words
That once went unblemished

Time knows

Ugly Tears

You’re the kind of man 
that ruins a handkerchief 
carries it around  
making art and staining hearts,
repurposing ugly tears.

Distant Thunder

rain steals the morning,
 falling in degrees of gray 
 staining misty sighs
 with hues of melancholy,
 drifting with  thunder's refrain

Genetics,
our cruelest mistress
the herald’s phantom
In fated shadow
a birthmark staining

Blackberry Haiku

The blackberry bush
Staining my fingertips, a 
Sweetness worth the mess

The sun's going down
Grab as many one can hold
Painted crimson hands

Red Sun

Broken hearts behave as bright
Morn' sun, hemorrhaging red
staining all that has been touched,
while pulled from loves grasp.

Juicing Oranges

oranges are staining my nails
squirting and spreading juice
aromatic, wet, tasty,
sometimes tart, sometimes sweet
some can juice them
I try
but fail
buying my juice at a store

Wet Leaves of Summer

Wet leaves of summer
where death crept, silent and slow
And our palm held tears fell down

Covering each leaf
staining them with our sadness
the cold winds blow them away

Fin

She turns up the music to hide the sobs
Blade meets wrist for a final encounter
Red tears come streaming, staining the ground as they fall
Silence encompasses the room despite all of the noise

Legend Over Actuality

Man induced with intense mischief 
Blood staining his custom made handkerchief
Cutting eyes and deadly stares 
Creepy crackling as he walks the stairs 
He has no shadow, if you believe the myth

Gray Wool

hoped for
white down 
but it's
saran wrap
settling dust
soak staining
weathered wood
laquering streets 
warming bars
and hearts
gray wool
hugging the earth
softly 
snuggling me
on this 
see-your-breath
morning

Stain

How beautiful it is,
To believe you loved me..
To let your eyelashes blink flecks of stardust on my skin..
Permanently staining me with your essence..
Oh, love. 
It burned at first, just a little
God..
It was worth it.

This Space To Let

"We need more space," you voiced.

"This space to let."
The notice hastily scrawled
childlike on an index card
glimpsed in the co-op window
passed by quickly; 
rain staining a new coat,
reminded me;

I had heard and not heard.

Trump Through Basic Training

Trump Through Basic Training

Trump could never make it through basic training;
Instead stood under golden shower that is staining;
Cause that losses,
With many excuses;
From being president should have been refraining.

Ghost

A knife's edge and a painful cry.
flashes in my mindful eye.
A cry for help. a plea for mercy.
I stand there and watch.
Yet im miles away.
So close, yet so far
My mind in turmoil. 
Blood falls, drop by drop
Staining hells depth....

The Moon

The Moon

large white gazing ball
hangs upon nothing
in the dark carpet above
billowing canvas 

myraids of crystals
pierce black pillows
at the farthest point
where the water never ends

silver sprayed twinkling shine
staining the glassy sea

That Sentimental Style

If our high hopes
and a rainbow’s slopes
collide,
wide scopes of kaleidoscopes
raining
bold, forgotten designs
upon old, cotton twines
we’re staining
still bind the gentle mind,
after all this while, to
tie-dye’s sentimental style.

The Paper

She writes some words 'pon the paper
Examines them
Then she writes one more word
Tears run down her cheeks
She crumples the paper
Letting it drop to the floor
With it the pen falls, ink spilling mixed with tears
Staining the paper upon the floor

Abundance

Tears
staining my smile
grin even.
Blinking endlessly
bird's eye view 
with water as my telescope
I stare
words....humbling my soul
"try a new way my dear"
I'll consider

Thank you...a day that I'll treasure.
(sniff)...'they like me, they really like me.'

Whispers From Rainbows (Diminished Hexaverse)

Oh love can you hear
whispers from rainbows
as tears of clouds fall
staining the Earth's flesh
before the sun's kiss.

Heart is empty
devoid of thought
all my passion
is now with you.

the soft kiss
on a breeze
declares it

love means
one thing

you
