Solace
At once understood,,
I am finding solace
In colors
Leaking out of me.

Surface red, underneath
& in between,
Some things white.
Others blue & green
It is all so right.
Puff lips smack
In shades of mean.

Everything stands that would
Or could end just right.
In whisker of night.
Shined from beam
& whispered in fright

I am free, hallow whispers
Breathe for me,
Clouding shapes I wish
I could see.

I imagine a satellite

orbiting in sanctity of

unrefined solitude.

sullen, random formations

A warm calculus beating

in unresolved reason.


Ponder when it will

indulge pride

& plunge

through the atmosphere,

succumbing to loose

denial of its own gravity

wake her color’s in my hair

eyelids tight against the sand

rainbows floating in the air

beams falling through my hand


wings spread, they’re not really there

lymph is dry & we withstand

speakers speaking i don’t care

she’s invited every single strand


wake up grounded in my head

jagged rainbows still ahead

softest colors like she said

tying knots in strings & in thread


we’re here but we’re not really there

headlines written & misread

static breaking silent prayer

rosaries whispered left unsaid


wake up her color’s in my hair

caught in a rainbow sequins are all red

we’re here but we’re not really there

sad voice speaking softly in my head

pearl ibis

cloistered wings

withdrawn

in elegant embrace


pearl ibis

in my heart

chiffon

refined in lace


pearl ibis

stately

in the dawn

elemental grace


pearl ibis

bristle whiskers

painted in wavy sun

softly singing swan

wishing and hoping it was you
stitching wounds beneath twilight’s moon
nimble fingers knitting pearled hue

in the forest, mosses wet paint mystic dew
dripping green and gone too soon
backwards spinning threaded new.
wishing and hoping it was you,
mending wrinkles in evening’s gloom
pinning printed fabrics hung anew

wishing and hoping it was you
falling hair in garden bloom
petaled soft in perfumed blue

When your eyes tear in the morning,

light runs from you.

twists around

changing hues



When you've had warning,

when your virtue

crumbles before you


When dawn fades away,

or when they hurt you...

Your flag flies

tattered and grey


When the hatred you've kept at bay

becomes longing,teardrops ensue,

Watery stains on

portraits you drew.


When the tide calls for you

spear pierces your side

it drains from you

there is nowhere to hide


I will run to you

I will save you

steer mercy to ground


You have rescued me

I will shine for you

Unleash the Heavens,

before we are drowned.


I will run to you

we will start anew

our own island,

alone in the sound


You have rescued me

in the morning

with the love
we have found.

Sometimes tomorrow’s stained with yesterday’s eyes.

The sun will still rise, its nothing new.

Wore out your sorrows,lived through the lies.

Weak are the fingertips comforting you.

Dry is the river, keeping you there.

Cracked are the wings flying to you.

Reaped all the crops, you needed to sow.

Fell from the sky, a warning flare.

Slipped in the wind, let it all go.



Standing in meadows praying for rain.

Soft is the blade twisting through you.

Tired are the wounds bringing you pain.

Sometimes tomorrow’s smeared with black.

Dry are the veins pumping through you.

Slipped through your fingers, it’s not coming back.

Sometimes tomorrow’s better left alone.

Secrets you kept, will punish you.

Left to the fate you’ve stitched and sewn.

Sometimes you wake up,it cuts through you.

Puncturing skin, it’s nothing new.

Sometimes tomorrow,will bleed for you.

Sometimes tomorrow’s stained with yesterday’s eyes.

The sun will rise, its nothing new.
