Wreathed Poems

My Landlady

...Among a stone-wreathed, sun-fried declivity
On earth’s raised stomach, a shack. Common
With the nervousness of heat, such shack-up
Points bury their heads in shame forever...
School hours brought...

The Haunted Spirit

...It whispers low on midnight’s breath,  
A shadow wreathed in mist and death.

It haunts the veil 'tween dark and light.  

It stirs the winds, it bends ...

amidst electric threads, suffocating in silence.
When cold is the air ~ tender ...

Garden of Chilies

...madhouse of a ménage à trois —
the bawdy chamber of the blitz,
where three depraved darlings conspired in pagan rituals,

I knew it when a breeze blew in. Crisp and clean,
it softly breathed and wreathed the trees...

IN MEMORIAM

...How pure the joy in this man's life 
How mighty till the end 
His greatest work - his girl, his boy
Their father and their friend. 

Yet sweeter still their children brought 
Such laughter with...

If only you knew

...Is there enough adjectives I can use,
  to sew these sensitive sensations to you,
when my dandelion heart is 
  dense with combustible phrases,
and my sunken soul is weeping 
  into the wearines...

Dwindling diamond daub, an amber
glittering glow
diaphanous verism of glass 
and yet…
wreathed in wisteria-washed...

The Moon of the New Moon

...You who have become the moon of the new moon,
Lost in realms unknown,
You’re not found through searching,
These eyes no longer see.
Should I now call upon you,
Compose verses to celebrate,
How ...

These Three Remain

I Know I Saw Him

...Stepping through the pine and holly wreathed front
entrance of the homeless shelter,
as a Christmas Eve snowfall decorated the city,
I carried a fresh turkey,
I heard joyous singing of adults and...

Are We Lost?

Yet I care, I search for valleys of peace,
where rare black orchids bloom through violence,
for fallen leaves too shall caramelize,
and kindness to...
