Skeleton leaves lined gold
on setting sky,
delicate bones ensnared
on unseen wings
as tiredness lies
down upon fields
where paradise lives,
a seemingly amateur guard
in inked dreams
not glib.
On my way home,
wherever home
may be.

The road was
a river of sighs,
rushes & stalls
from cars
passing by.
A life where
silence echoes
is not for me,
as I find
relief
in music
in more than trees.
Though trees
I do love
between breezes
& gusts,
my soul,
oh, the city
it lusts.

Childhood carvings
left for future eyes
may still be there,
in a fair purple room
since turned
grey
in unlived air,
where I'd played
slow pressed melodies
on sleepless nights,
waiting for calls
from a boy
I'd never meet
after all his lies.

Before we knew
strangers
would rather
us burn,
child's eyes held
cat's curiosity
& another's tears
prompted
only kindness,
for the world
hurts
their own way,
heals
their own way,
& I am
homesick
for yesterdays
when tomorrows
were brighter.

Lips tucked
in apple cheeks,
touch warmed
by honey glaze
through window,
a melody lulling
head stormed
by tireless shrieks,
their voices
hollowed
as softness
billows.
Been a while
since keys
rang my temples,
in a home
that is not
my home.

Their voice flashes
in muted hues,
lukewarm
on ceramic skin,
making rich
the life in my breaths,
sonorous
the orchestra
from bones within.
Over, beneath, atop, around
those grassy hills
my fingers swoon,
their thought-hushing
billows
buoy.

Two white doves met while
bathing under warm sunlight,
And flew off together

We don't mean to
make lofty
certain silences,
an unwritten diary
of inequities
to us and others,
serving no one
but the ill-intent.
Smiles become
habit
and the dark
turns into rivers
of shadow
alongside ruby streams,
slowly
cracking.

Attention drawn
like the fading contour
of cracks
in the pavement
shaded by lamps,
fated to disappear
into itself,
waiting for spring
to sprinkle magic
and flood away
broken mirrors,
for summer breeze
to lift beauty
from their dark.

He breathed
irreverence,
perforated
our once lulling talks
and painted
ambiguous smiles
on my lips.
I now look
at all the whens
I can remember,
listen to them,
realize
perhaps
he was afraid
and flew
on flimsy wings
as friends said.

Stained white shoes
beneath a weak smile,
she walks slow
in quiescent style,
sipping air
of purple rain,
music moving even
under uneven pain,
pondering why
too much
of anything
would come at all,
desperate
for evils to pass
as they stall.

A splash of life
swims
on the horizon,
drinking sky's showers
as the world
slowly dims.
Nothing more crisp
than gusts
twisting
with its silver,
dreams dancing away
with all that haunts
in mid winter.
Yet I feel
its cool
will follow into spring.

Dragons perched
on sleepless clouds,
tails curled like rings
to forever bound,
alleviating thoughts
that anchor feet,
exonerating guilt
one needn't weep,
breathing magic
into the sun,
they light our days,
for good shall come.

Leveled with my spirit
is a melody
in the leaves,
how their whistles
can't be measured
by anything.
Though trampled
when crossed
upon dangerous soles,
they stay light
and float
where a friend
in the wind goes.
Spring's first dew.

Flowers,
all I saw
for miles,
petals drizzling
from trees
tall and wild.
Ancient
was their beauty,
warm
yet kinder
than fire,
never vanishing
from roaming eyes,
a calm to acquire.
None
can tear me
in this
memory
where paper planes
fly.

I spied shapes
far below sky's abendrot,
dim shadows
held on rained earth,
waiting
for a burning
to pass.
Will we return
to a nothing
absolute,
or an everything
that will last
in flaking colours
within human pollution
for a day?

Live by personal creeds
even when muffled
by others' searing chains,
tie bright balloons
to their links
and watch them
fly away.
Keep your heart
soft and convivial,
though hardened it appears,
remember you
are not
the weak one there.

We danced ancient steps
through streets of stone,
visited pâtisseries
for nuggets of gold,
hid from ruthless storms,
though they passed in minutes,
spread our laughter
on strawberry jam
& the clotted cream
beneath it;
in faraway dreams.

Our passionate melody
Is now impassioned whispers of anger
Love has become our prison
Where our history won't help our present
It is time to face the music
We're just another song of goodbye
And I'm singing it for you

Take no never mind of the beast in the corner...
But grandma, it's a wolf!
No, just a man with a wolfish grin, but no less dangerous.
