You Are a Stencil

I am a pencil,
in this day and age,
computer rage,
I am a pencil,
unused, 
but you chew on me for inspiration,
I am a pencil.

Reported Speech

the third of january saw this;

the moon is a stone in the sky
and the night a stencil of light;
the rain an error of clouds
and the stars a coda of cats;

this day told me...

you are hidden behind your face,
all your words are coded like scripts,
your body is full of lines:
you are paged inside yourself.

Premium Member Such Waste

Such waste of pen,
if your only subject
self-centered men;

Such waste of pencil,
if vain women the 
stencil, patterns and
frames of your poetry – 
her many loves
and woe-it-try!

And if Nature
and her creatures 
are your features...

Why God only first
and last? – a few words
before rest, and a brief 
recital upon rising....

Premium Member Through Youth's Eyes

Despite June’s tempest, I relish life’s grace

         My eyes marking the stencil of ripped trees

     A yesterday which draws me to embrace ;

The comfort of kin amidst storm’s reprise.

Permanent Ink

My life is like that of an Escher
Shades of life change with the pressure
His lines all straight of lead and chalk
But he dare not walk where I have walked
My lord my God what should I do
My life has not been straight and true
If I could draw my life in pencil
It would be free hand I would use no stencil
I just wish life came with an eraser

Soul Shavings

Remain silent until it's time
 to love again

Finger touches and tongue tips
  dance again

Rain drops coursing leaf veins
 I want to stencil my name
all over your anatomy
   as if I never had before

Magnified insight
  finding new ways to envelop
    your light

Soul shavings on bad days
  don't need it all
 the tiniest portion of you
   will do

Sometimes my poetry needs
  time for you to seep into 
  my vocabulary

to understand that perfect ground
you fall upon.
