On a Slow Boat To Nowhere

amidst the thunder and the thuds
of boilers and blocks panting evermore
in a halcyon sea, the territorial gulls
shriek their high-pitched sadness as they soar.

and all throughout the gray outline
the groaning of the waves are heard,
as steel slices through the blackish brine
and lonely hearts are stirred.

Can It Be That This Rose

can it be that this rose
that wilted then, now grows?
ah, it’s just a dreary dream
of youth we all have deemed
a cruel lot besides
being a dream that dies.
it is only a rose then 
that’s shorn
of rose’s scent
before it's grown.

Awake, O Muse

awake, o muse, let’s once more fly
the verdant valleys below the sky,
let’s bathe eternal in love’s sweet rain
and wash our wounds to dull the pain.

awake, o muse, let’s once more sing
the songs of yore that bubble like spring,
let’s float along old melodious strains
and gingerly gather blooms again.

awake, o muse, let’s once more dwell
above the clouds we knew so well;
and resting there our thoughts abide,
to live in peace and age defied.

Questions

if I could hide 
somewhere inside
the bosom of a moment
my heart would try
to ask it why
each second is a torment;
and edified
i’ll set aside
anxiety and resentment
that there reside
between self and pride
love’s better judgment.

For F

deep in death she lies within so cold
with the flesh I’ve so much raved about;
where time and all its majesties old
she lies, with beauty there and life without.

and i, in solemn silence, grieve
as thoughts meander in waves of sighs;
remembering, yet refusing to believe
that life has left her once-luminous eyes.

deep in slumber she reposes and rests, 
free from the fetters of fickle fate;
and the form that once felt warm caress,
have naught but only worms to sate.
