Grief

Dead comrades –
desiccated fruit,
plucked from iron vines.

Sensitive minds
at rest; while
psyche's quake.

Twilight

Vanilla fudge
drips into
treacle toffee,
then the honey
furnace glows
in my psyche,
leaving a brain
of ashen coal.

The Lake

The placid blue lake
runs deep with riddles
I could never fathom.

The Golden Valley

At the Black Mountain's peak,
the rapture of sundance ripples
across the Golden Valley's leaves.

Anthony Perkins [Clerihew]

The actor Anthony Perkins
ate jar after jar of gherkins.
Green with rage he knifed Janet Leigh
what a murderous pickle to see!

Autumn

Auburn leaves
skitter an autumnal dance.

Season’s breath;
nature’s invisible broom.

Sweeping; conducting
life and death's romance.

The final grinding
winter? Mankind’s doom.

Perpetual Flame

you are the
core within tallow

a braided cotton
beauty destined to burn brightly
