#cobweb
Silken spider thread Cobweb soft A whispered sigh Hanging on the breeze Silent song of hard worked creation Strung like pearls to catch the morning Intricate patterns Each tiny artist works alone Beauty on the wire A gallery of infinite variety

Like an Anchors Close to, Ocean blue Bigger than the horizon Strong as it’s ties A simple threads Full of vibes and colours Identity explains, An agreement Seems freedom on fire, A helical twist But they say, Twisting is mystery Twisting is strength.

Threads
Driven energy, Understanding silence Familiar wavelength With sympathetic threads Invisible bond A sense of prospective, A fate of inclusion, Synergy of trust Moment of warmth Bridge of communication Law of equanimity Seizing a moment With a Joy without an end Adventure of being alive Worth of human connects Celebrating a new time.

Cobweb
Sinewed by the the ancient art of tai chi, he forged the forces of  the universe to lure a dreamer  into his lair. He stayed silent as a spider; and with seamless gliding of  limbs and fingers, he entrapped  his prey like a moth entangled in a cobweb. The sky was bleeding then when she asked:  “How can I walk  through the dusk?” “Just follow me, I’m a pathfinder,” said he. He whispered to her ear:  “Close your eyes my child and trust your heart.”   And to the tremor of  his voice he danced her, deeper and deeper  into the night. Soon   his lips dripped with her muffled sobs, the stench of  his slobber drifted  into her pristine dream; and he confessed:  “She came to me; I’m innocent.”

Innocence
Moths float out from behind an opened, warped door. I push my face into your clothes, hung heavy like pearls in an antique shop. Stale and familiar, the scent follows me like a lost little bee. It buzzes even after I leave. Hopscotch down the hallway to find dead crickets in the bathtub. Scuffed wallpaper camouflages a cobweb. Metallic vines curve around bursts of petals. I’m certain you chose this pattern, but I don't know. Memories are few. I fill in the holes with honey and arrowheads. Indian feathers and an old brooch. Piles of pie. Did you love to bake pie? Games of bridge on that old, scratched table top with a musty deck of Bicycle cards. Each deck a photo album of your face. Your raisined face. I remember holding it in my hands. “This aint a walk for old womans.” And out the door I go. Empty handed and independent.
