Sullen skies
watch my every move
Deceit lies
in their sighs
There is nothing I will prove
I ignore their cries

Yesterday
I stored my future
under sands
Foreign lands
remembering osmosis
seep soul through crisis

The Negev
moved on silently
its body
wild man’s tool
its breath all still promises
unwinding through hiss

My seeds grown
diligently sown
through mind cast
made to last
A thousand years break under
the forced surrender

Cast me ten
Elements are five
Replicate
twice mission
The tribes that stand will survive
wayward attention

In truth lay
throne to sit upon
Mirrors don
gold inlay
They kill themselves as they slay
Desert winds whirl on

A wall rose up in the desert
through flickers that flames would assert
the blaze played on like a concert
a wane backdrop for their feelings

The Earth braced for oncoming change
quakes removed them from shooting range
Adversaries land would estrange
Consciousness would repair damage

I saw my thoughts and words still rhymed
The bell for sisterhood now chimed
Sorority sessions well timed
There is a new place for women

Lightning strikes on plains

The dark one losing his gains

Expunged all our pains

 

Desert landscapes sigh

Behold the thundering sky

Truth is born from lie

 

Haughty mares shake manes

Dragons’ blood courses through veins

Sun and moon in lanes

 

Spirits soaring high

Eagles and falcons now fly

Nature to comply

 

The gleaming moon wanes

Willing the skies as it rains

Stormy weather stains

Amber dunes

Stretching towards me

Sunburnt sands

The lost lands

Breathing slight before waters

Submerge all islands

 

Ember tunes

Crackling of the fire

Remember

Fading warmth

Desert night with bees in swarm

On blue tinged mountains

 

Old and tired

We will dismember

The fading bricks

The grey strands

Dissolution that withstands

Ringing of the Pi

 

Concentric

Circles of our lives

Twining slow

Melding glow

I take you to tell and show

The past a lantern

 

The ransom

A lifetime kidnapped

As kids napped

The Grey woke

The Earth lines shook as they spoke

Of fledglings restored

 

Eccentric

Colours of minds hues

Tones of Blues

Height of ruse

The path where she had strewn clues

Within my bosom

The rain poured on land of empty

Where snakes hissed on the desert sands

The feet that trod the barren lands

Danced slow to the newfound plenty

 

The sands curdled like frumenty

A tidal wave that crowds disbands

Covered all but for groping hands

Reaching out for Twenty Twenty

 

I glimpse it all with withered sigh

Twin peaks that skies then pierced anew

What breaches Truth in Truth must die

 

From waters grave we rise and fly

We turn our backs the choosing few

Living in Truth where shadows lie

I picked daisies

From fields of wild bloom

Setting course on springtime’s kiss

Seasons gone amiss

Weather man’s honey moon

 

Perhaps too soon

Autumn leaves flocked tight

Whirling around summer days

Wayward are the ways

Of seasons of half light

 

Winter spelt ice

In caverns of glass

Winding weaving underpass

Crossing through mountains

Built on the desert sands

 

Leaves joining hands

Pining for the rake

Obedient the waning piles

Counting on the rain

Renewal in the moss

 

Midsummer mind

In between seasons

Looking back at spring’s folly

Under feet quicksand

Looking forth take a toss

 

Check the boxes

Sit back set the course

Stormy weather is the key

Return to the Source

All set for the journey

The Garden

Green leaves abounding

Sets its sails

Towards hope

Distances mere fantasy

Playground of the mind

 

Your shadow

Extending its weight

Luminous

Immense shores

Flowing across my mindscape

My oceans borders

 

Sight of you

Iridescent plains

Straddling light

Tucked in tight

Within flowing dark waters

Aquatic desert

Your fingers

Tentacles’ axis

Entwined lines

Curving braids

The bottom of emptiness

Fullness of sorrows

Your dark eyes

A wane wishing well

Fate’s crossroads

Twenty-three

Winding and lost lonely streets

Bordering morrows

 

Your essence

Darkness and thunder

Pennies’ rain

Hammer’s breath

Light and honey inside pain

Whispers of the night

 

All of you

A fear free wonder

The sand gathered

Rain attempted paths

Would desert gain terrain?

 

Puddles formed slow

The roads were heavy

Why did my Heart feel light?

 

The flowers bloomed

My Heart sang larky

Did spring arrive early?

The outer world fades

Spinning into soft whispers

Mind into new hues

 

All the Earth in me

Crumbling into desert sands

Disappearing clues

 

Voices pale mirrors

Of forgotten faces’ names

The past paid its dues

 

Unfamiliar scents

Dilation of inner ways

Roads turned avenues

Avracadavra

Words piles of wayward bells’ chimes

Summoning Dark calls

 

The Undead rises

From the gates of Netherworld

Another bell tolls

 

Sweet cinnamon’s taste

Breath fragrant over rotting

Pestilence’s frame

 

Chaos brought upon

Winding steep pathways through sands

Message sorrow’s flame

A kiss from shadows

Queen of bees for King of flies

Requiem’s dance shoes

 

Beating at Temples

Upper levels’ near disgrace

Downtrodden the views

 

Burning embers speak

Cherished secrets woven lies

Ages of misuse

 

Rising from ashes

Lavender in oceans spun

Deeper shades of Blues

Walk unto altars

No sacrifice but the Grace

Of Blue requiems

 

Sing the nightingale

Twenty sparrows talked to crows

Of deserts’ pirates

 

Walk across the dunes

To the solitary grounds

Where angels wept tears

 

Enter your Temple

Within the sands of Time’s flow

Flaming bush whispers

 

Walk over the waters

Ebb and flow will set you free

Humble is the Pi

 

Breathe into the Ground

The fumes of tomorrow’s Life

As I set the Breath

Walk into the skies

Let the airborne meet the Tunes

Silenced Chimera

 

Red was the sea’s glint

As she touched the sky-bred Flames

Breathing in the rain

 

Walk astride the Times

When her hair loose hung in grapes

Wine for the living

 

Blue was the sky’s Breath

Wings crossed the Ocean’s timelapse

A second coming

 

Walk under the stones

Crushing is the morrow’s grief

If countdown went wrong

 

More than a sole Head

Bellerophon my hand’s art

Healing lines my Heart
