Yoni

He worships Her aroma
Velocitiy of depths

Tender tembre flame
Oval orchard

He knows 
She has bled Life
healing each wound
of His yearning

Journey of the Heart

Most delicate     
tragedy     
Far from ravines   
Sea knows me   
  
Air scents     
Lupines of love     
grow in the half light     

Unfolding their     
sapphire wings     
Learning to fly     
again   
  
pearlescent dew   
anoints this dawn   
I am waiting   
for the refrain   
  
of rain   
spindles weave   
axis of sky   
around   
  
gentle hills   
breathing   
in motion   
  
reflecting 
pearlescent 
painted 
ocean

Icarus

an image floating in ruby red 
Vulcanic skies reflecting 
this mesmerizing elixer 

the aroma of your spirit 
Crescent echo 
hangs infinite 

Blue 
We are lapis lazuli 
branches of the same tree 

Wind grows her silken hair 
around us

Anatomy of Love

Eros has rattled my bones
waxing your spirit
through snakeskin
I travelled rotating moons
entering state of beloved
Sharing enticed journey
through eyelids closed
Venusian fossiles lived
between the space
of a heartbeat
Loins of Lotus opened
in waning silence
Perhaps, never
will we breathe
deeper than this

Deathbed

Binding red ribbons
around silken syllables

Combing wisdom
from my eyelids

Stroking ashes
from my hair

psalms of our palms
sleeping in each pore

Meet me in death

Do not look
at my hands

Do not kiss
these opaque lips

They are
too old
to forgive

too young
to forget

Nebula of Darkness

Hymn of owls
Symmetric opus
Hymn of owls
Traveling skies

the nebula of darkness
brought me here

As I lay in this mortal cascet
of sombre yearning

I journey through portals
my funeral fire, now burning

Questionaire of Blankness

Before entering this world 
we transform our soul 

The gramophone 
plays songs 
of mutilated destination 

midwife of Death 
hatched her eggs 
Breeding a dark 
Questionairy of blankness 

Lament to 
  Humanity 
where art thou? 

Does the corset suit you? 
Can it show the shape of Love? 

Do you read your own obituaries 
remembering the scent 
you bore? 

Have you ever been 
a child? 

Remember the Sun 
bears 
stigma 
of starlight

Angels and Lyres

Halo of hallowed air
rising from six strings

walk over my bridge
minstrel minaret
magnified maple

ovate oak
viral wings
open in harpischords
playing archangelic 

a myriad

of elphins
dancing

The Intimate Stranger

I was reading a dead man`s newspaper   
on the first train home     
    
Through the ink I read his spirit   
 walking highways lost   
    
His life lines were carved   
into the space of my palms   
    
His eyes were   
 tundras   
 of emptiness   
    
as his heart sank   
deeper   
against my skin   
    
He reminded me   
of hope   
He reminded me   
of all things   
human   

Dead bird     
floats the sea   
Starts     
to sing   
    
in lethardic sunlight   
    
This train has never left me since

Self Fulfilling Prophecy

Self fulfilling prophecy

Self proclaimed secret 
beyond sky line 
Distilled ink 

Self proclaimed silence 
a xylophonic silence 

Late snowflake 
travelliing 
Scar faced knowledge 

Sea seeks 
her grey garments 
Sinking sun 

Yearning 
to begin again
