lovers

Waste
deep
underneath
the
moonlight
in
tidal
waves
tumultuous

.
It is cold on the dark side of the Sun.
There is no heat,
not even in a thousand summers.
There is no light,
not even at the end of a tunnel.
Because on the dark side
there is No Sun,
not even in a billion Stars.

Copper Mining

Mining
***
        Unsafe, Hazardous
          Polluting,  Contaminating, Fouling
        Waste,     Blight,     Damage,     Liability
        Spoiling,  Dirtying,  Poisoning
       Tainted, Unclean
       ****
         Desecration

This is a Diamante poem, shaped like a diamond. Thanks to APriCoT for her influence and encouragement. See her poem Global Warming for information on how to write one.

ode to my beast

he prowls thrice round the hearth
the taste of the ancient ones still on his lips
fierce protector of my lap throne
let me kiss your ears
and whisper the day's lessons to your heart

I don't need ever to shine
it's enough if a simple smile be mine

what does it feel like

what does it feel like to be held
not by another body
not by a set of limbs, a chest, a chin
but
by another soul

what does it feel like
to see truth in another pair of eyes
instead of hidden intentions
instead of absence

what does it feel like
to hear a familiar heartbeat
resounding next to your own
reaching through skin
through bone
two rhythms
indistinguishable

what does it feel like
to write poems about
a love that exists
