A heavyweight purpose lifted from his lips, feathers quivering to sun-lined clouds. He can't hear their belittling anymore. They can't account for his choice without angering the devils as the earth cracks.

I allowed your ghost to be the only audience of my ashes falling to wet earth amid faraway trees, soon after buried shallow under radio silent hills. Why are we only released in echoed unrest? We deserve more than caves.

We eyed askance the cobblestone path to a cavern beyond sunset trees, agreeing to never set foot on its impulsively combustible dirt. They say gnomes are carried to its depths where their spirits may exact revenge.

Oh, never mind the cold. It's temporary, isn't it? I like to focus on the sunrise instead—how its light is a canopy amid spirals bright as sports drinks. Hope breaking grey skies to add warmth to haplessness. The things we think when waiting for beginnings. 2

Sirens called them to Finisterre where the sea split what was beastly from Prince Adam's deviled heart. His maudlin wails avalanched the curse, prompting a deep breath of change; & the rose petals scattered in a gust.

Blood continued to drip
Oh what a tale it told
The atlas contained a hidden story
Secrets of the wealth of old
Turmoil was the realm’s legacy
Nothing survived the encroaching tide
Just a haunted map of a haunted place
Where hands of power & plunder still reside

You'll find her poetry
In silent darkness
As the moon covers the sun
Or when you're dressed
For death
It'll be the last taste
On your tongue
An echo
Amongst stars
Calling you in the night
You'll find her poetry
Is your shining light

Too soon petals pale
Fade with departing summer
Fall's frenzy arrives

I braved the mystery isle
Dark dawning sky
Belies a once enchanted land
Shrouded in a noxious mist
Castle ruins, city wasted
Translucent wings of broken queens
Like crystal cracked & seeping
Its fragile beauty
Could not resist
Fury of greed hate

she walks at midnight
eerie visitor
from other realms
her breath
of stardust
brings dreams
of passion
fingertip traces
lips waiting
for kisses
in her wake
Virgo weeps
tears of fire
still burning
moon glow
washing away
yesterday’s shadows

A mythic creature of the land
A vision of ancient power
One look in his feral eyes
You were his to devour
Sage wisdom I failed to heed
He bade me come to his side
I gave him my body and my soul
In his world I must now abide

I'm fearless today,
beacuse,
I am witness to
crippling fears from my yesterday.
and I have promised myself
a tomorrow with no fear.

Too many times
I found myself
On the wrong side
Of heartache
Trying to be kept secret
Enough!
I am worthy of true love
My name screamed
From rooftops "I love YOU"

Here is my fistful of tears
A gathered them
In bouquet of poems
Lines that shiver me
Then burns me alive
Grinding cold of loneliness
Deep drift of sand dunes
This is me most naked...

I've had hankering
For scapegrace with improbity
I knew I was in danger
But coming storm
Couldn't hide my need
Wolf Moon was rising
In my dark night of heart

We~
The renewed Travellers
Of dystopian survival
Swinging at
perpetual voyage
Of temporary body
And
Hollow illusions of
Felonious heart
Longing for
Remission of breaths

Once a queen of swords
With scarlet want
Sculpting poems out of thin air
Now solitary ace
With broken dreams
What is the point of false hopes
Rebuilding heart from Ashes
Again and again

I call them my orphan poems
they are written in sand
washed away by time
tears laughter angst
love jealousy hate
some hard earned wisdom
plundered from my soul...

We pray, mutter
forbidden incantations

Cthulu appears down
from the ether,


Smashing onto
this island
his hunger
is transparent

He cares not
that it was us
who opened
the door

Towering above us
he brings an
end to our
worthless
lives
