Memories of old

Memories of old

Clenching jaws
follow new-found laws
Blast to cause
breath in pause
raking fingers turned to claws
revealing the flaws

We diffuse
the powers to use
Golden hues
fragrant dews
a conflagration to choose
aching sunset bruise

Bodies hold
memories of old
tales untold
lo behold
they speak of the soul once sold
for silver, not gold

Reading of the poem:
Kyrie - Antaeus

Ashes for daughters

Ashes for daughters

She walks slow
life bundled on back
Agony 
her fiefdom,
mind scattered throughout waters,
thoughts a procession

They deal blow
never cut her slack
Trinity
not random
house as their hearts lurch
hospital and church

Two may die
May they ever live
to forgive
fathers’ tales,
she cries as her lung inhales
ashes for daughters

All blood same red lace

Harbinger 
of erased nation
A death toll 
on both sides
leads nowhere as the fear rides
to uneven poll

the clock strikes
unequal death chimes
we surmount
the war crimes
our memory a closed tap
bodies our minds wrap

Live cocoons
shelter vivid thoughts
unwilling
uncaring
we see not what then transpired
as thousands expired

Fed through spoons
weather-beaten words
Flimsy talks
forceful walks 
to the other side of hope
a yearning to cope

Warning call
lost time to recall
regret stitched
intimate
within layers of the brain
lesson to retain

The legs pace
unknown surfaces
riddled lanes
absorb pains
of humanity’s disgrace 
all blood same red lace

A new world to lift

A new world to lift

Rapid lips
express moving words
They distill 
cryptic notes
as the East gathers the votes
two ways to measure

Flaming ball
scorches offered throat
Time to float 
before fall
no capacity to gloat
no drill to recall

Chest pulsates
rhythm silent hum
it creates 
mystery
Heart cries above medium
it’s a theory

Elders speak
their voices low, faint
We devour 
within hour
the dripping flesh that they paint
Hunger, no restraint

Cardinal 
points towards choices
The old fool
rejoices
stumbling in ineptitude
no truth in the drool

Align swift
new paths are tender 
They pull us
there yonder
where outreach is in the rift
A new world to lift

Reading of the poem:
"The Voice of the earth" Divine vocals and flute soar above the earth

The world twirls
whirling into place
Rejection,
acceptance,
contradictory notions
into level field

Winding paths
lead into somewhere
Guesstimate,
impressions
All that I have unravels
as my eye follows

Within mind
landscapes of morrows
they shine bright
through my will
I am now unbreakable
All grows within me

Sia - Courage To Change

Morose thoughts
find a renewed glow
Daffodils
growing slow;
they splatter sunlight upon
the shores of my heart

Orange seeds
harken to new start
Diluted 
misgivings
shaken into silken reeds
cloak my back new wings

I see change
some hard some lighter
Woven Time
knitted through
vibrancy of my spirit
in door which they lit

I hear You
Your call is whispers
shaking trees
rustling leaves
the breeze that sings in my mind
Memories unwind

I call You
Your ears are torrents
winding paths 
lavish baths
The water falling from lids
meanders and skids

I see You 
Your face is fragments
dazzling eyes
mouth In skies
The space in between you flies
Universe to size

Dazzle me
I love what’s in you
sacred flow
secret glow
I hail the light within you
shining hearts so true

Frazzle me
I face exhaustion
Time to flee
memory
I hold thoughts from dark alleys
hidden within crease

Puzzle me
I will share fragments
shards of frames
hindsight tames
I draw past perfect blue clues
a patchwork to use

My story’s untold

My story’s untold

I voice words
from depth of chambers
steeped in light
covered slight
my throat an emblem of tone
instrument to hone

Prayers flee
from a bosom struck
It wavers
comes astride
a golden bull for the ride
into waning green

Heart and spleen
I hold them in fist
The splinters 
I resist
I am priestess of the old
My story’s untold

Blown away

Blown away

I lifted myself
to the edge 
of his chin
He kissed me softly
And I was so blissfully 
Blown away

He willed me to stay 
Gust of winds
thundered on
they hugged me starkly
And I was so helplessly 
Blown away 

He aimed at their heads
while they ran
terror-struck
He squeezed the trigger 
And they were mercilessly
Blown away
