It's National Poetry Day today. Here's a five-sequence I wrote while in Pakistan in 2000.

⚠️ religious imagery

fallen
dark winged angel
dressed in Communion white
tired of virginal purity
sinful release would be my delight
lay me on the altar
I’m not the innocent I seem
inviting his wanton despoiling
I am Lucifer’s dream

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

Autumn evening will come,
And the sun will set over the horizon.
The full moon will shine bright
Casting a shadow on you

Winding down
after fanatic catch up
frenzy of writing about
yesterday today tomorrow
dreaming a little dream of poetry
words spinning in circle
would they touch any hearts

“It is my belief that poetry can and must be an integral part of the total school curriculum, interwoven within every subject area.” --Lee Bennett Hopkins, poet and anthologist of 120 anthologies for kids

she watches
hypnotized
by the lazuline tides
love shattered
heart tattered
seeking peace
in sweet release
no healing the rifts
down she drifts

My body moves
to the rhythms of the moon
my dance will wax and wane
as clouds darken the sky too soon
without the night orb's light
my vespertinal melancholy
is deaf to the celestial tune

stand tall over me
defiler of souls
my body is devoid
of christian doctrine

souls are aimless
the heart is what
drives the body
to desire

when i kiss the curve of your neck
he asks if the fires of madness
is worth the prayer to lessen our pain

but i'll walk
on your bad side

downpours heavy
i am all too eager
to follow you
through waterfalls
and uncertainty

comfort is another
word for lifeless
and you are all
too full of vigor

he starts to unzip my jeans
calls me baby
but the word is foreign
like he's never called anyone baby
but enjoyed the thought

the pages are as worn
as my lungs
choked from smoke
and dreams of survival
long past

i never intended on lasting this long
