Last Summer Rose

last summer rose a sentinel holding vigil- crisp leaves colored leaves falling on brown grass- wood fire

Someone To Watch Over

Snuggled in amongst the heaps
Watching, watching, as she sleeps
Alert for but the slightest peeps
On monitor, his vigil keeps
Awake she is, so up he leaps!

Fragile

Fragile

Sometimes my heart is cloudy
Not wanting to venture so far
Dangerously close to old habits
Desiring shelter under any rock.

Night after Thanksgiving and All is not Well

Stunned
as soon as I sleep
awakened by a loud bang
real or imagined

Zapped
bright light woke me up
to lots of prayers, knee deep -
5 a.m. vigil

Some Vigil

This heavy shaded room, 
Your rattle of difficult breaths; 
I had to go out 
And come back in correct, 

To silent clocks
Tending your face
And lights gone out
All over.

The Vigil

The candles we light
as each person attends
our loved one now gone
but it's far from the end

Gone from the Earth
to live on elsewhere
watching over us
until we are there

Shadows

I could see ahead
Something wonderful
Something beautiful
But shadows are blocking the path
How can I make it through
When forest seems not to miss
His nightly vigil by the road?

Stardust Memory

Stardust vigil of eager twelve-year-old
Owl’s evening hoots brings awe to forest
Sweeping shadows inspires imagination full tilt.
Memory floats up sixty years later, making her smile.

Misery

Misery’s got a hold of me 
And it ain’t leavin’ go, 
Loneliness keeps vigil by my side, 
Tragedy, it stalks behind 
And keeps an eye on me, 
And my heartbreak 
Is kinda hard to hide ...

- Haiku X 89 - Black Door -

Attraction of greed
It rings deep in the last hour
Uneasy vigil

Lake Morning

Powdered gray, the moss,
intricate lace, decorates
giant cypress on the shore
gnarled knees offer post
where watchful birds keep vigil-
holy lake sanctuary.

Nightly Vigil

silence
across the table
sat with him
dressed in black
in the death of night

while his world slept
they waited there
refusing to slip quietly
in the hush of night

Oh God

Impromptu, word by 
word, I will anoint you 
with poetry.

       *

Moon was sinking 
slowly, watching me 
reciting an elegy.

       *

The gates were still 
closed, for the candle 
bearers to stand vigil.

Buried In Wait

Buried in wait
This handwritten note
As tidal caresses

Soothe a patient scroll
Forsaken sands keep vigil
As Silence screams from beyond the bottle

Traveling Lightly

My heart beats like a metronome 
Counting the days in a procession of cycles 
Sleep becomes a vigil of remembrances
On a life eased by music, sweet music, 
And journeys grasped like a lifeline
In fleeting kindness of strangers.

Graphics

Drunk at
midnight, playing with 
    moon squibs.

       *

    Hearing-	
a nocturne,the spirit soars,
    when you are drowned.	

       *

    A galaxy 
invites me for a night vigil.
    Some elixir will rain.

Two on a Bridge

The October moon winked in the
cover of midnight darkness
and I saw love in her eyes —love
she’s been doing her best to hide all this while —
not minding the stroke of midnight
when hearts pound loudest among those
who keep vigil for love.

The Lingering of Longing and Life

'Neath nocturnal bloom
the essence of self
dwindles in a pillowed horizon
twilight dies a whisper -
your voice in my ear…

the pale goddess rises
mothering angel’s tears
tending till dawn 
a moon garden vigil
bearing witness to your visit

Conceiving

The knife peels off 
the silence. 
Colours were very shrewd.

      *

Tonight I want to sleep 
open-eyed, to keep a 
vigil on shooting stars.

      *

The wood god 
had no limbs. Only jewels 
were used as prostheses.

Guns and Roses

GUNS AND ROSES

Another rain of bullets in the dead of winter.
A terrorist runs through like an Olympic sprinter.
Another candlelight vigil glows from the steeple. 
And America loves her guns more than her people.

The Vigil

The Vigil   (Octodil)


Late through the night
A flame burns oil.
He sits with weary eyes
In vigil by the bed.
She lies supine; soft is her breath,
Peaceful, serene her pallid face.
He sleeps; she breathes no more.
Oil-starved the flame goes out.

The Monk

cernuous sunflower

the monk bent over in prayer

his morningtide vigil, set eyes

until the bell straightens

his curvature, with breathless warmth

Dream Arrest

Landed in the desert, eyes scorched by dry wind, ran for days but was dragged, kicking and screaming back to reality, though my conscience should be that of a criminal, my eyes still burn and heart will yearn to run away with my dreams again.

Vignette

Vigil O’ camera point this way-

A female insists this magic role 

Whose own ogre claims hearsay,

Which I’d term logical, smile stole

A thousand flashes a coil merged 

To see the girl what ogre claim;  

And u o' girl came, they urged

Some oil, cream, glamour, fame.
