how
often

turned
into bitter
harrowing
times
requiring
spontaneous
serendipity, was
ever a need to possibly
flee immediate
reality
or was a life-raft left afloat,
designated for flashes of epiphany?

A lover of the incendiary one,
the one who burns her shell and clears away
the old to make way for the new.

Rain doused the fire;
now green buds shoot up new life from
beneath the darkness.

Frost-worn longings echo
the trauma that manifested
within to take over my being.
A renaissance within for words
bled colours, for I am a tree
at the point of rebirth.
Awake & anew, the colours
appear sharper, & the moon tells a story;
I have not heard one for so long

Nevertheless,
we are smiles' patrons,
sifting froth
from turbulent horizons
for flowers winsome.

My companion;
We have walked together for so long.

My confidante;
We know all of those secrets hidden.

My consort;
We agreed to walk this path together.

My love;
You are The Wolf and I The Blood Fire.

My heart;
The raging fire tamed by the kind one.

Dining pleasures, a cycle of...companion poems
experience the song
"as it were"..
layered aspects pouring me a glass...of love
imbibed integration and with
..suspicion aroused
you become my confidante of words
the souls consort
the ink in...waiting of paused
thoughts

Visualising a different person with a different life, while girls on the other side of the world are visualising eating food tomorrow.
Her identity is so wrapped up in fantasy that her psyche is distorted.
A hike in the mountains calms her soul.

placid, this pond, our lake of peace,
tranquil trips few and far between,
gliding along, fresh air, so perfectly serene.

lapping water at the edge under a green swept tree
little boat comes to the shore to rest and just to be

placid spot to sit and watch the world go by us today
a peaceful day with ghosts to play in nature's serene bay

You extravasated the dark
pooling in my being,
waves of ink twisting
away into spring air,
speckling the atmosphere
in all its sadness until
infusing the clouds
to mark nature
w/ delightful kisses
in verity's clarity.

His ill-fated affections
savoured prurience,
forever reaching a
forbidden love I
swore to forfend.
The inscrutable &
fervent ambuscades
left me to peregrinate,
aiming for sweeter truths,
lest my ashes be
in a pouncet box
hereupon an
unbidden death.
