Sweet Water
When the river calls
I do not
ask why, but follow
where she will take me.
I know no other way.

Magnetic Poetry
bitter shot
bitter shot
a storm rose
over the land
all beauty crushed
in a rain of shadows
arms placed above lives
The Oracle in a mood most foul.

The Fate of Lost Words
The Fate of Lost Words
Secrets do not celebrate,
but haunt a poetry embraced
for its desire to be open,
with a shared rhythm.
shadows asleep
shadows asleep
whispers live in my dreams
play the light
like a waxing moon
sing like the wind
through my will
the poetry of an embrace
the poetry of an embrace
porcelain clouds remember
the kiss of a breeze
like the breath held in
words of sacred desire

Bitter Blues
Bitter Blues
A bitter blue lies beneath
a waning moon of shadow.
Is Man’s sordid symphony
meant to drive her mad?

quiet harmony

thick
this shining spirit of shade
watch and listen as it
murmurs softly in peace

shine on
shine on
repulsive shadows scream
in a thousand tongues
raw winds blow
a bitter mist of death
yes, that is a black sun
and no moon will save you
you may be asleep
but this is no dream

stars shine like diamonds
show the way through shadows
driving the beat that
whispers in our hearts
