Out of My Mouth

Slander like ivy,
Grows out of my mouth,
Maybe I shouldn't even if it grows anew.
Who am I to judge even if it's true.

Great tiny apple 
Consequence of branches untrimmed 
Will anyone bother to learn 
That you are
Defiantly delicious?

You are the black cat dancing on my tongue
And each word that leaves my mouth
Crosses you
And my voice is now unlucky

What's the use of a spark
that stubbornly refuses
to ignite a flame?

simply letting the sun speak to me

The Guard

The Guard is
Guarding
Some people
Or
Some place

Back from
Traitors?

Premium Member Epitaph of Nature

Spring of lotus births
Summer of forest flowers
Fall of colored warriors
Winter of lamentations
Seasons of tragic dance

And the Sun Shines

the
people
lucky
enough
to
be
in
it

The drumsticks are playing cello,
Totalerance searches for prey
under your blanket, fellow.

as bloodshed of a brutal act
grave silence of dark
is to condole with the bereaved
