Magic Meadow

In words
Like black velvet from loam rich earth
A bouquet -
Birthed
In ballads and barcarolles –
Grows
From stolen spells and visions
The Snowthorn

Facades Dying StarBird with feathers of fire, phoenix metronome,
bursts on the edges of the atmosphere.
Crumbling to dust, ash and powdery bones,
fore a chance never truly appears.
A velleity is made at her shooting tomb,
deities will not honor this...

The MinstrelsA spectral ghost ship rides the fog
outlined by the spray of the waves;
Blurred vision of watery graves
serves to bring life to epilogue;
Generations speak of legends
walking past the forgotten pier;
What is true or false...

Death KneltIn the cartographies merger with the soul,
where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
its petals unfolding,
like a cipher's dark emerge,
thorns burst contradiction piercing the hymen with certitude,
as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

Saint Catherine Was ExcaliburI always said tether to the void
Not any idealistic reason or choice
Now suspended I know why I’ve been devoid
Because how can one speak with an inside voice

No One Is LookingCadence lowers its tenebrous tempo
Dulcet to a morose Memento Mori-bund

Ruby rivulets in wine glass Chardonnay
Bubble floats to pop
Silence yet I sway
Miasma tang vitae oh Nueva
So they swing on a rope seputchra

For Whom The Bell TollsTo write

By fortunes

Timeless Words
in hushed tones, timeless dreams lure me
from shadows, swallowed up by grace
silence beckons, like a soft plea
from the story time can’t erase
poetry in gentle tears, breaths
illusion writing from a place,
where delusions fall to their deaths,

Bustling BrainwavesBustling brainwaves bring it to life
better when both eyes are blanketed;
Hyperactive insomnia’s strife;
Gears inside feel like a hamster’s wheel,
it keeps going and going won’t stop;
Blinking and scanning I have to deal;
Bedrest blatantly bombed...
