Winter Scene

 





Intersecting shadows of forms and lines

Within a mind’s muse that invites allusion

Of profound legacies and fore divines

That one might know in seclusion. 


Of incredible views; moments

 Under the deepest blue canopy,

With degrees of radiant adornments

Casted on snowed fields sans panoply.


The incalculable signs lost to a mind

That fails and falls to his bane

For his thoughts race to find

A friendly face; a familiar voice - in vain.


An empty scene except for a sounding chime

The engaging piece in a peculiar diorama

Standing pointless without rhyme

While encompassing every panorama.


Nuance is a kind visitor – a long shadow

That trembles as it traverses the quietness

And stands alone along the narrow

Line of trees of an infinite wildness.

Circles and Spheres

Why do you wonder so;

    what is that path you seek;

where will that circling flow

end?    -     Upon a strong perch; or a meek

    edge at the abyss, outside the sphere?







How will you know there - is not here?

When - has no face; has no place.

    For only for a blink will time hold your ink.

Fitting Broken Pieces

 






Broken pieces that don't fit?

You say they don't- make sense?

It's a jigsaw puzzle to knit.

Otherwise - it is pretense.


A fractured painting

a perfect contradiction

The rhetoric has fainting

ideas that hint at redemption.

Herd the Madness

 







A meandering mind will soon enough find conformity -

and within that herd spreads a madness of uniformity

as the rails merge the obsequious fawns to fill the stalls

with kindred humans - listen, to silence of the calls.

See Me - See

 






I see only me

What genius I be.

Fools bend the knee

and ask to see

this - my anarchy.
