has gone away

for the winter

Poetic Fragments

 

 

(A)

When

 

one person’s act of overt aggression

 

…….is a storm of silence.

(B)

When

 

the only flight from fear

 

…….is to stand and wait.

 

(C) 

delirium’s trip

oh, it all comes so quickly

this dance….in your maze

At

the midnight hour

we chase

our

own shadows

under

this full moon

we’ll

make

nary

a sound

passing into

morrow

Broken Prose

Broken Prose

 

My friend,

you have blurred

the lines

between

reality and imagination

your

two worlds

now

bleed

into o

ne another

your

pleasure becomes pain

clarity to ambiguity

harmony turned disharmonious

symbols of peace transformed into dregs of war

how the scent of life….and hope

turned into the putrid smell of decay

end

what has been hopelessly

cracked

broken

…..inside of you?

……what

…..who

now

still dares….

to

call your name?

……what of your

dreams…..broken…..splintered

tears……

fears…..

how to look deep through your…..

front

would light

still be allowed

to filter

trickling

through countless broken prisms

 

oh, dear sweet dysfunction

Poetic Fragments

 

I listen

for the familiar echoes
with

expectations
of a
voice…touch….feelings
not to be met
now
i long
for those times
passed

distant memories
so close….
but yet
so painfully
far
i long for
your touch
….a smile
your touch
our connection

But until then
i’ll just continue
to
wait for you

Lilacia Park(Moments)

Lilacia Park(Moments)

 

Scurrying

of chipmunks

along

these park grounds

squirrels play

endless games

chasing

up and down

these

fully leafed

trees

that tower

ever so gently

above

but not quite

yet

tickling puffy clouds

somewhere,

in the distance

birds serenade

different

tweets and peeps

nature’s song

combined

in this wild

cacophony

I humbly offer

blessings and prayers

my own voice

a smile

as my eyes

gradually

trained

upwards

this sun kissed

morning

Poetic Fragments

Poetic Fragments

 

even

these majestic trees

towering up into the skies

above

slowly

give up their leaves

no resistance

this gently falling

nature’s timely waltz

lines, spots, colours

gradual

changing and melding

collecting

on the park

walkways and benches

the call

is it something in the song of birds?

is it something in the cool breeze?

is it something in that gentle scent?

~~~

that start of breakdown

as summer

 starts

ever so gently

to bow out

giving way

to fall’s

creeping start

~~~

a smile upon my face

as I walk these

well worn paths

nature

knows

no fight

but

an easy concession

this

mid August Morning

capturing

the vibe

and

essence

of an early

October

Fade

Fade

 

Even now

breakdown smell

as summer gently

starts

to give way

to fall

leaves turning

gentle descent

collecting

on the park grounds

colours and flowers

fading

this cool mid august

an early morning breeze

whispers

of an early

change
