Breaking the dark waves
30 July 2015
Tears glistened in skies
As silver moon slowly wept
The loss of its light
Goodbye passages
Walks in realms of nevermore
Lead to new morrows
Your face in my soul
Sings dark haunting melodies
That spell twists of fate
Palpable, headstrong
Electricity of you
Shivers through my frame
Inky they roll on
Like the ebb and flow of life
Ensnared I flutter
A light in the night
Shines through the sadness of loss
Breaking the dark waves
Burn it in the cold
28 July 2015
The night died today
Wasted in rise of morning
As the raven sighs
Grass scorched in the sun
Breathes off night’s delicate touch
As it lights and churns
The nightingales weep
For pallor of their slight wings
Shine not through morrows
Take this wheezing chest
And while it shivers and throbs
Burn it in the cold
Angels don’t walk Earth
28 July 2015
Evening expands
Its mantle shade for all souls
Some darkness, some light
The moon rises slow
In inky horizon stares
At my downcast face
A flutter nearby
Responding to twist in chest
Angels don’t walk Earth
Skies dark split open
Gathering essence of me
As it gushes forth
Night sleeps in my heart
That beats so slight to wane tunes
Ice cold and withered
The blurred lines of me
27 July 2015
A glorious sun
Wakes to another day’s warmth
As eyes witness light
Noon fits my footsteps
With precise specks of shadow
That spell tales of none
Afternoon splits me
Crooked body speaks of tear
Between the two realms
Night brings its unrest
As shadows cover the Earth
Hooded beings walk
A gnawing fear pulls
At the strings of crimson dome
Morrows may not rise
It seems time has come
As I watch them slowly fade
The blurred lines of me
The moon stills my heart
From the pain of departure
I will set out firm
Further into light
30 May 2015
Sun rose on new dawn
Breathing hope of new morrows
Days passed kissed by grace
Mind embraced gift of present
Enthralled in beauty beheld
.
The noon struck precise
As birds darted through blue skies
That heralded time
Soul’s count acknowledged presage
Of limited happenings
.
Evening beckoned
Its shadow stood tall and stark
Against my slight frame
Stacking pounds flailing I stood
Weight no measure against ills
.
Night descended slow
Ten million captured hours fled
Further into light
Shimmering pathway beyond
I walked stolen day and night
How not to be now ?
26 May 2015
Dew fell on the earth
A drop on a thousand specks
Sand extended thirst
Radiating through body
Hunger extended its siege
Sun rising dried dew
Scattered like pearls of still life
Pallor out of time
Shadows of me unbound stared
Out of a grey timeless void
Earth compounded waves
Sun tirelessly drew close
Cool air exhaled mist
Nebulous mind’s frozen sight
Pursued night into the light
Sunflowers lost core
Empty crevices staring
Taking in no sun
Shielded from rays I ponder
How not to be now? Tell me
Thousand one nights with spirit
7-8 May 2015
The night cloaked in black
Hooded bodies that scurried
Onwards to the feast
Lavish celebrations rang
Through the impalpable dark
The moon stared silent
Lakes froze in icy stillness
Dense whispers beckoned
The air was thick with minds’ hiss
As dreams carved angles in souls
Old tides joined new shores
Stories were told in mind’s voice
Dim lights shone on mists
Unlit eyes weaved your grey shape
Chest throbbed with end of lost tales
Shadowy stirrings
Spread out through smoky darkness
Plethora of wisps
Thousand one nights with spirit
Flashed through in a few heartbeats
Setting fire to the moon
21 December 2014
While rose petals bloomed
Inky red trail of lovers
The sun set its course
How replenished will it glow?
Asked a bee of setting sun
–
The dusky shadows
Peeled off the edges of day
That haunted yet skies
Withered and wizened old man
Son of none, will you now die?
–
Moon carried the sun
Into a frozen night sky
As it died again
Did heavenly compromise
Seal fate of the fire ball?
–
Sun awakes from chill
Setting fire to the moon
Shakes off its dead skin
As day pierces into night
Will none renew without fight?
