Short Unutterable Poems

Party over
          further unutterable fun,
          catch the sun 
          with own hand......

Buried for eternity
in locked vaults
deep within our hearts
   lies the pain
   the anguish
   unutterable
   of hard-won
   experience...

Or so we think, until
   the faint scars
   ever so slightly
   are pricked
~ and bleed profusely...

profound sadness,
unutterable sigh,
planted in the depths of soul
internal monologue
begins now
soul is reaching to supreme
crossing wind
across fire
beyond cloudy sky
calm and tranquil
melting in you
merging in bliss
becoming divine light...

Night-Where alienation never sleeps: 
Dreams glazed by frost , 
Bird recite the memories, 
Bare poplar trees, 
Extended sadness unutterable..! 
, 
Where alienation never sleeps: 
My heart - whenever the absence hurts
I hide him in coated closet..
And locked the door..!...

Matt asks me how you are
and I’m reminded of a life I almost lived:
the one where I’d know the answer. 

Here she comes gliding back. 
She sits on my chest,
runs her hands down my throat.
Her fist white, my dead fish tongue greying 
with an unutterable apology. 

I lean into her grip. I don’t 
know how to set myself free in the end....

I need
not
to be patient and wait
for you to remember
my name, I need
not
to be clever and find
a line that gets
your attention, I need
not
to hope you'll grow out of your
unutterable
fascination with yourself, I need
not
to try and mend
the broken pieces, I need
not
to fight the wars you viciously
start and end.

Now it is
me, in charge
flying 
high without you...

Clouds swirling, bird circling
The Heavens rumbled, heaved a sigh
Ventured forth a lad, he bore no Cross
Through angry streets, refuse-tossed

Flies buzzed 'round him, fetid friends
Night air crackled, 'neath ammunition's lens
The lad strained hearts for a crust or crumb
Hope lay dormant, her voice struck dumb...

Bled dry, they covered him, face down in a gutter
War's verdict sealed, its unutterable utter...

BESTOWED MOMENT

In the quiet
Are you listening?
In an awful, lonely hush
There is this mantra
An almost imperceptible hummmmmmmmm
Easing one out of focus
But not out of self
I sense it in the shoulders – this roundness
(this sur-roundness)
I sense this presence
Eternal
Beyond the planets, stars, galaxies
One may rationalize, call it, simply, flow of blood -
The familiar coursing life force
Yes, that too
But no!
There is this unutterable sense of beyond
A bestowed moment...
