Unpromised Poems

...Gate to adventures 
Portal to foreign lands,
That mystical caress 
The calm of sunset
And the flame of brilliance,
Stare not for too long,
Unless you give into a trans,

without the bomb
Was Einstein a savior
or devil aplomb
Our power the fire
all enemies dread
Till stealing its physics  
unmaking our bed

The world on the edge

but I can’t remember love
as moments went unpromised,

The future hiding one last spark,
 memories yet to burn 
that Fall we spent in lust’s i...

...One moment, a hint of love
The next, abruptly shoved

Hands over heart: Pray
Unpromised is the day

Yet when sure is certain
by Noonday's light --
  
Shadows stalk dark alleyways

Hell Upon Earth

...The livery on fire,
  its horses set free

Misery beckons,
  the future to bleed

The gates are broke open,
  all streets painted red

Death has awakened,
  life dragged from its bed

New Light Unspoken

...Nocturnal flower
In need of sleep
Your petals wilt
The count for sheep

New dawn unpromised
The die is cast
A croupier wearing
Sun’s setting mask

Through endless courtship
Faith on the ru...

Trailing Closer

...Those footsteps ahead
  are now footsteps behind

The past but a memory
  the future declines

My cadence is slowing
  my direction unclear

When frozen in place
  on the wind I can hear

New Whispers

...Sometimes,
in the shadows
of the early morning light

Resting in the 
shade,
awaiting the beginning

And hiding
from the end
of all that’s unpromised

I watch

This Present Mine To Own

...The day now split
  drifts off unpromised,
  the dream remains with me

Our words as jewels 
  now treasured pawn,
  their tickets burning free

The nights by measure

The world awakes
To another unpromised day
It's colorful splendor
Like paint in a blender
The beauty of hope on display

Nature rejoices
In songbird voices
As creatures st...
