From somewhere far, lament sings
Nearer still, there’s hope’s eased breath
Tho’ sad’s strings stir me
The Unknown’s my best friend

Almost Missed
Decree there be
That time for low light
For quiet contemplation
For the easy adjustment of eyes
And clarity, clarity
Abour the ever-evolving
Distraction from the dance
Apices
He’s afraid of coming close
She looks too much like him
The same sharp teeth
The same keen nose
The same deliberate swim
She wears scars so visibly
His brother’s constant barbs
They catch his eye
They call his cape
They yet keep him afar
Truth To Me
There were footsteps
Invisible, loud
Crushing at first
Then funny
What else was there to do but disbelieve
And laugh
Looking down
There is purple and black
Walking away
Someone did come after all
To take and not rescue
To take and take and take
Proud
In the dead of Winter
Long
After the artificial electric
The sound of sung merriment
Now fallen
Let the shine on my bare shoulders
Reflect the distant auroras
And hold the light
From your eyes
Marians
I think you’ve a hood
I think it is jade
I think you don’t steal
I think you persuade
They’ll beg me your name
They’ll beg the unfair
They’ll beg more of you
They’ll beg me to share
Mind’s Eye II
Tucked away
Happy
Dancing by now, I bet
Reaching out
Expecting
Hoping
All This
Is That way
Afloat: A Haiku
All these thoughts flooding
Who’ll be resolved not to drown
Who’ll fight and rise up
Eternal Dusk
Sight, knowledge
Good God, acceptance!
Which arrives first
Which ought
Come forth distant Light
End false assumptions
Halt eternal dusk
Unlearn
Why 3am keeps callin’
Is for someone else to say
I do know it has me wantin’
To hear that guitar play
Later on when sunset
Weighs heavy on my frame
I’ll wish to unlearn and unsee
3am’s cruel game
