An overflow of salty tears remains,
in hearts that covet love unrestrained;
The faded colors blanched and undefined,
with no more reasons left or undermined.

In quiet rooms that tell the tales beyond,
a world renowned for catastrophic bond;
Rises up and quells the cursed interference,
dismissing painful shadows in adherence.

The awesome glow of firelight brings pause,
to secrets gleaned from past events and cause;
No other sights diminished in the sphere,
dividing worlds of comfort far and near.

In due time these secrets have their way,
of revealing angry voices gone astray;
Yet wonders of the starlit sky commence,
in carrying missives in profound repentance.

Violet to black roses;
Doors of wonder closes;
Pomegrenates in winter;
Weeping willows wither.

This body fell once before,
Running itself to extinction,
In the pursuit of the great word.

Piece after piece, as each thought left,
As each prose was transcribed,
The body too, began to fade.

The resurrection has begun.
A small step forward, with it a line.
The magic flows, the body grows.

A step becomes a stride.
A line becomes a poem.

The exchange has equalized.
The give and take finally in unison,
Healing the body and the mind.
Nobody’s a forest even if they try
to envision a green sea in their mind
unbroken in vast tranquility
the uniform considered as purity

standing as one against the sky
this is imagined to comply
with the wishes of distant gods
who see the whole as their flock

these fevered dreams deny the truth
this sea is made of single trees
verdant drops in an ocean’s depths
each with a life to reconcile

dividing self from the whole
allows the soul to truly roam
away from chains of the copse
the tree is left to stand alone.

The poem “Chains of the Copse” was inspired by the lyrical line “No man’s a forest even if he tries to be one” in the song “You” by Kyson.

Beneath the space and stars, I lie,
    Under the dark and lonely night,
Enveloped in the thoughts of mine
     I dream of dreams to feel delight.

Among desires 've lost my sight,
     Within eternal fields of mind,
Losing the shadow fight inside,
     I think of thoughts that left behind.

Through whole my life I have survived,
     Along with lonely nights and pry,
Living my life like just arrived,
     I feel the feelings staying high.

In depth of sea and sky, I dive,
     Amidst the dream and lucid life,
Dimmed by the instinct to survive,
     I die of dying in own strife.
whimsical flights of fancy appear
my heart is all a flutter
light bulbs bright and clear
tempt me like no other

when closed is the wooden door
your impulse cap charges
all lines signal in uproar
extreme escape enlarges

the mundane being, you once led
in chaos has erupted
among grey matter, on paper shed
flights of fancy less corrupted

In the dense fog of yesterdays
thoughts, we capture all reasons
of living life the way we have
all these years determined
it is worth all the strife
to live it.


Now in today's rumbling struggle
to understand what life has come
to call living, I'm sure we must
have a lesson on its way to open
our hearts wide before
destruction.


Strange we must always learn the
hard way before we can reason with
calmness after a storm of
tragedy and darkness
we learn, but not in
ways we could have
if we found how!


Dawn never appears without
disturbing reality of the true
distraction of unstable life
ways, we now must believe
will not get better till we
have discovered the light that
is waiting to be released.


Flames of surrender flashes
across horizons of tomorrow's
emptiness, without light to
brighten skies darkened
from doubt and fear
making the air thick with
unbearable truth sharply
cutting deeply without
knowledge and wisdom
of goodness.

The moon undresses you, little bird,
Your eyes are indigo skies without stars,
Your breath is summer grass after shower.
How you hold your arms before the night,
A lance of milky sheen and flailing bliss,
Your arms arrest as they softly surrender
And your ******* overflow in moist shores
Of white sand and shells, little ears to kiss,
I am drowning in your curves on the waves
From the sea, delirious with eye of moon,
Drunk with wild ocean as it consumes me,
Your hair is new grassland to run through,
Windy as a child breaking for the beach,
I latch my fingers to yours like driftwood
Tangled in kelp, the salt we share, steeps,
Is **** and deep and our lips are shucked
Oysters, blind, iridescent, sliding with eyes
Into the famished throat of ***** heavens.
