A Crimson Veil Shrouds What is to Come

"A crimson sky breaks the distant shore,"
beaming an omen from the opened draw.
Highlighting a warning to fear, abhor?
Or perchance, a delight joyously to adore?

Which way do I look and when, for this brainstorming.
To read the sky bathed in crimson blood swarming?
Looking left at dawn, I get a warning, yawning!
Looking right at dusk, I get delight,

strange shrouds

I sat in restless chairs
I breathed stilted air
what feeling compares
with feeling squandered?

I’m not sadfishing,
I was bored in a 5-star hotel.
I’d swum the Atlantic - in the underground pool
and I felt like I was marinating in boredom.

It was as if the loudest thing in our suite was
the sound of my eyelashes flapping up and down.

I wasn’t

Rose-Tinted Shrouds

Crimson leaves flutter with every brisk breeze,
sending cerise ripples through the treetops.
And as the Autumn winds tickle the trees,
sunburned farmers start harvesting their crops.

A scarlet sun bleeds onto carmine clouds,
inking colors that adhere to Night's brush.
And Dusk's magenta and rose-tinted shrouds
conceal Sol's death in a vermillion blush.

When Nature's pallet imbues Autumn’s art,
cinnabar collects on the

Misty Pink Shrouds

Dawn pierces the ebony heart of Night,
dripping blood onto alabaster clouds.
As scarlet skies glow in the morning light, 
Dawn pierces the ebony heart of Night,
and shifting shadows slowly fade from sight.
The eastern sky draped in misty pink shrouds:
Dawn pierces the ebony heart of Night;
dripping blood onto alabaster clouds.

Dawn pierces the ebony heart of Night,
as scarlet

Sign of the Times - Proud Shrouds

The moon was obscured by a swirl of shrouds
Witches and goblins were laughing out loud
   Lest you think Halloween
   Or that Lilith's now Queen
It was merely a parade of proud shrouds

Cast Off Your Shrouds

I want to be shaded, from the weathers blight,
Protected from The wind and lightning’s flight,
I want to be, lodged and screened from the sea,
Blanketed by an azure sky, within the Valley’s lea.

And having wandered, to this place,
I don’t want to hustle, I don’t want to chase.
My only desire, is just to be,
Left in thoughtful reverie.

There

Cloaked In Deceit and Hidden In Darkened Shrouds

Cloaked In Deceit And Hidden In Darkened Shrouds

I am done with giving to those that deceive
casting pearls to those that do not believe.
Why join with pretenders seeking a gold crown
when all they desire is to take you down?

Poetry is not game that some make it to be
not the glory of look all,  how pretty

When Silence Shrouds

When silence shrouds, he's consumed
Consumed by the nothingness that is everything
The nothingness that is everywhere 
Escape: futile. 
He resists, but his resistance is minute.
Such strife in his thoughts
Such angst in his mind.
When he needs them, 'They' seem aloof?
When he needs them, 'They' disappear? 
He feels 'They' don't understand
He feels 'They' won't understand.

Rift, distance confects
Confects between

Lonely Days Are Over - Chapter 2 - Depression Shrouds

Writing slowly…
Hesitating…pondering…typing…
Typing full-speed happily…
Biting my lips,
Leaving bite marks
Aim at being good at what you do
Well, I’m good at loving you
Loving you is not easy though
I must go with the flow
Understand that God is there 
For you and I 
Through thick and thin – no lie!
Lonely days are over
Put you faith in Him,
So that our light

Shrouds of Light

Come out of the black hole… 
Lie face down on the bed…I’ve been bedshaped all night long
Heaviness of my eyelids takes it toll on me
Fly…fly with your top speed…keep your head
Above the surface and take a sip of ecstasy 

You’re my only hope
You’re my answers to my countless prayers
Please don’t mope…
Shrouds of light will polish

Shrouds of Mist

Shrouds of mist did cloak the day.
Whispering winds with list did play.
Upon the graves of human minds
shrouds of mist were left behind.....

Well-wrought webs of darkness dim
vibrant thoughts held within.
The minds of humans do decay
as shrouds of mist on sorrow play.

Shrouds of mist did cloak the day
as waves of senses swept away
and all of those who

A Winter Shrouds the Spring of Ours

A winter shrouds the spring of ours –  
the ruthless snowstorm starts to whirl,
the snowy mantle lies around us
and Boreas will gloss it well.


I wanna warm days – when a brook
in gaiety will join a stream,
when trees under the sunny look 
will lushly blossom out in leaf.


Like dripping water falling down 
will ever live
