last summer rose
a sentinel holding vigil-

leaves falling on brown grass-
wood fire

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

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

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 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

I do not know?
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 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’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 ...

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

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

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

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
This handwritten note
As tidal caresses
Soothe a patient scroll
Forsaken sands keep vigil
As Silence screams from beyond the bottle

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.

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.

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.

'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

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
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 (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.

cernuous sunflower
the monk bent over in prayer
his morningtide vigil, set eyes
until the bell straightens
his curvature, with breathless warmth

Verse
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.

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.
