Apteryx Jun 2011
Envy lies naked on a rose --
Blindly, on bed;
Tonight, -- we bind to shed
Ourselves from purpose
And dread
That sough us from hearing, --
Fearing...
The silent touch of Moire.

It lies darkly on thy posture
Of many a figure
And requiem for my mockingbird, --
Those of many a love of my mockingbird,
(The Reaper
And my keeper
Of my very own
Requiem for a mockingbird)
Alone, all alone
We bind to shed...

Alas! Now Death
Comes as Nepenthe for my mockingbird,
(The only love
I've come to unravel the love
Of my mockingbird)
Now, breathing from her now, the breath
Of my heart leapt
Out from a mockingbird
And slept
As my eyes bind dead...

This is a requeim for a mockingbird, --
The Reaper
And my keeper
Of my very own
Requiem for a mockingbird,
Alone, all alone
We bind to shed
Ourselves from purpose and dread
That sough us from hearing, --
Fearing...
The silent touch of Moire...

Apteryx Jun 2011
In dreams of the twilight rain
I've dreamt the orbs the angels ringed
Around the awakening of life and pain
Which hath me broken-winged.

The sound of the clashing swords
Echo in the orison I've prayed
With the chiding of silent words
Telling back at the Past I made.

Those holy angels- angels' beauty,
When all of the heaven
Melody luted a song with the fruity
Stars sparkling the Levin

To which cause the sun to kiss the moon
With angels and daemons caressing,
As to where saying 'Amen' will real soon
Hath the Omens' shadows compressing...

I'll knot irises,
blue chords of flowers wreathed as
laces for my feet.
Apteryx Jun 2011
bind onto stillness -
(impenetrably on stone)
scarab's shrill sounded.
Apteryx Jun 2011
the claret sun fades;
fire still burns the sea-waves,*
*
winking flares of wind.
Apteryx Jun 2011
a poet dies young
when facing trepidation
at pale blind caged-swans.
Apteryx Jun 2011
the moonlit breathed out
From the vast laburnum grove---*
    *
lies a cuckoo's wing.
