Seminal in the Final

Sunrise upon event;

Sunset against content

Holds neither place

Nor redeems grace.

Hold me close

Before ends prose

And entropy

Finds atrophy.





 

Butterfly in Crisis

The squared physiology

Of the jaw line

Belied the psychotic  morphology

Entwined within the rampaging mind.

Unfocused eyes jingling to find

Purpose and direction in misalign;

Words rambled out disconnected;

Thoughts of loss and waste;  disaffected.

Time and distance weighed their toll

Upon the weathered wings fractured

and defeated-

Prone on the ground; outside control

Over context; nor defined by any structured

Cocoon so to  emerge – as beautiful and completed.

She, Lost In the Found Bin

She, dressed with the street’s soils

Explained with words strained of insights

And wondered whether fate’s spoils

Awaited her;  lost circles around the straits

Of lucidity

 And punished deep within the dark waters

Of obscurity.

She, slumped over on the corner of Dickensian squatters

Complained of the sovereign frights

And of the degradations of fear

That brought us all here

Into the harrows of insanity

Where the days are mired in the nights

And in the inhumanity.

Book of Retire

And with the door’s closing

The eyes withdrew from all views

Relinquishing time’s stay to reposing

Upon the bed of memories

Resigned to being in abandon black hues

While sitting alone lighting cold dreams

Like old candles of wickless beams

Waiting to read the last chapter of retire

Yielding to the flickering embers of life’s fire.

Sunshine

Sunshine visits in many a way -

Demons and angels need not profess each a new day

Nor state regrets for a final night;

Each sunrise brings a  touch of whimsy

And is pursued into a quiet by the moon beam’s light.

The morning horizon breaks open for all to see

Where friends and family gather

And that the stillness in the air is all that will matter

If one rises to find that the dawn transforms

And that Sunshine comes in many forms

For all to warm with - before or after the storms.
