Black Lilacs
blooming -

a blossoming
of grief -

dark fallen pollen
on the breeze -

I can see it falling
all around me -

there on the wall
for us to see -

April will be
the cruelest of them all.
“ April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land...

I will show you fear in a handful of dust...

...And other withered stumps of time
Were told upon the walls;...”

T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land, 1922.



Our LOVE candle
Burns at both ends

We are connected
By a single
LOVEz waxed wick

One end is yours
The other is mine
But we are singular
Skeletal waxed string

BURNING - ON FIRE!

Both sustaining flames
To melt their ends
So to come closer
To each other

Slow deliberate burning
With patience & perseverance

To merge & extinguish
Our opposites energies
In unison of attracting
Two ends of ONE light
To become powdered ash

May be life will not last
The duration of
Our wick's length

But ah...
To all those who LOVEz
To all those who do not LOVEz
To the friends and foes
To the dark and light
To the old and young
To the sad faces and brights
And to those who care or not

Our LOVE gives light
To celebrate our UNION
Of true-soul-connect

See, our LOVE candle
Gives a heavenly bliss glow

Reminiscent of the TRUTH
That one day our LOVE
We'll surely merge into the
Darkness of LOVEz Light

~ “Above everything else, guard your heart; for it is the source of life's consequences.”~
Proverbs 4:23)

these days, good advice overnight trebles in value,
no one I’m sure has consulted Proverbs today,
not me, not you, not anybody, but these words
came to we, the confined, lonely hearted prisoners, we who

are needy to reflect, we raggedy people in solitary.

tonight, some of us will recall an exodus to free,
an escape from slavery, how we put at risk
our bodies in a sea, a desert, more crazy, in an
invisible deity, when that was a heretical concept, we who

are needy to reflect, we raggedy people in solitary.

Above everything else, guard your heart;
for it is the source of life's consequences,
the ***** above/beyond mouths, eyes, even lungs,
it’s what purposed we fragile, petal edging humans who
are needy to reflect, we raggedy people in solitary.
