Cineza
Ash dancing on the wind, allegro and delicate.
Nearly spent of all warmth besides the barely felt gentleness that laying down brings.
A final touch from a weightless cast-off ember of unrequited sentiment, born from the fire a last goodbye caress.

Trough
Flowing up and down found happiness then sorrow
a smile to a frown, once full now left hollow
today follows tomorrow it arrives then leaves,
when it goes it's like a blow and you want to retrieve,
the laughter and smiles and presence of you,
friendship equipped with an essence so true
two through to one and now there is none
who come close or can boast to beat my heart like a drum
the rhythm inside once alive now has died
we tried but denied our knot was untied,
I cried for the loss and braced for stormy weather
your body is gone but I won't ever sever
never whether the weather is cold or hot
I can feel you in the air and your spirit's on top
not below have to show we will roll with the blows
from the highs to the lows love come and it goes.

Annum
Hot epidermis
glows with appreciation
warming pesky flies.

Bamboo soldiers dance
In natural unison
Leaves rustle at their feet.

Uncertain rain drops
seeping in sandstone spirit
frosting through ones soul.

The first solar breath
Glistens through dew
Singing life anew.

old friend
I knew a monkey who wore a silk scarf
It made him look sophisticated
I remember seeing him one day
climbing and swinging from the tree to the roof as three people chased him in vain..
He had something in his mouth, a set of keys i think. I watched and laughed and it still makes me smile.
I haven't seen the tricky monkey in a long time.
I heard he went of on a big adventure and is now rich.
Good for him!
There was a time we were close.
I still feel sad he's not around and I miss his mischievous ways.

Lilith
Placed before me and immediately taken closer to god
we flew together through the heavens
Returning to land and forming a bond tinged with divine lust
not knowing; but sensing that many demons are corrupted angels..
I covered my eyes
While you pulled them away to look at your nakedness.
I wanted to see us bound as one, but it was me who was bound already,
To instinct as you are to yours,
faithful to the innate pull of hunger, are we ever free from manipulation?

Untitled
Deplore core is sore so search for relief
On shore unsure, still sinking the teeth
Belief in salvation can cause more pain
From the vein to the brain, a stain on the shadow
That will relentlessly follow free into tomorrow
Hence this is borrowed to fence in the hollow.
Surrender essence to facetious omnipotence,
Sense for some doesn’t come till they’re old,
Repents in whole to be sent with soul,
If you can’t find a part then invent a role,
Play with conviction good diction is praised,
Infliction unfazed leaves broken hearts glazed
Built up to be razed dismayed in a maze
Lost in a haze and graze through a phase,
Days into years a life less lived,
Forgiven strong ways this advice to give,
Hone talents with balance and lift who you’re with;
Roam and challenge yourself for wealth is in this!

Believable
To believe in belief is a powerful thing
If within you believe it's akin to a win
If your struck with luck you are blessed fleeting
But to work with conviction will endure a beating

wayward arrow
I continue to fall on my shadow that forms from a flickering flame,
across the plane stumbling over dirt and rocks
but still relentlessly casting my spirit out at all costs,
is it free from me in this dark domain?
Deep below picking up sparks along the way
that ignite my soul and light the coal which warms to the goal to pawn the roll,
wanting it to be left alone with rope right there,
concerned with hope & fear shooting across my firmament like a silver tear,
the ephemeral cheer the gossamer of memories that link my experience together
whether or not it's worth it is not the question but how I reply to the suggestion of perfection.

In reaction to a Celestine drop that soaked my being then refused to stop..
I transformed my life on the whim of fate
Intuitive impulse reverberates my state
The sound is sweet, it moves both feet toward a goal I want complete
To live and die in a blink of an eye, so while blessed with breath dare to try!
I've never had guidance in writing, I occasionally write to vent.
This is the first thing I've shared, so please criticize and comment.
