The whisper of your shadow

Convergent

Our focal points merge

Within sight

Of the night

Upside down worlds gathering

Ascending dissent

 

Divergent

The mind separates

Projections

Of our souls

Like “autodafé” on coals

Artificial leaps

 

The light creeps

It speaks of slumber

Twenty-three

Outnumbered

The whisper of your shadow

Dispersed recoiling

The cliffside narrows in thundering sea

The twist and the turn alternating roles

Hearts will and then spurn sunrise and black holes

Of bliss and gallows homicidal glee

 

Sleepless eye hollows ashen face to flee

The embers that burn in the dying coals

The memories that churn disembodied souls

In flowing shadows on renewal spree

 

The maidens attire a silken slow tale

Of morrows weaving bare hilltops to mount

Millennium’s desire era to inhale

 

Blue chest bereaving the fear to surmount

The flames of the pyre in thoughts never pale

Of minds conceiving a lifetime to count

People hold

The woes at arms’ length

They confess

Wrongdoings

The priest a pail of water

Washing away sin

 

Through the din

Of voices spilling

The chilling

Careless minds

Owning up a lost concept

Remorse ne’er teeth grinds

 

The waters

Wash away matter

The unclaimed

Cast treasures

Of inner content measures

Declining substance

 

Stretched so thin

The souls a shadow

Of lost hope

Blind justice

The mouth but tool to practise

False words of regret

 

The victims

The ghosts of the self

The gaze bleak

As they speak

Of accumulated hurt

Until the night falls

 

Day’s respite

Within the sorrows

Invented

Outer world

Mirrors of inner torment

As dark faces light

 

Mind creates

From pool of battles

The ripple

Unending

The battlefield heart-rending

We fight but ourselves

 

Learn balance

The heart speaks clearly

Yet the mind

Clings dearly

Known fields appeasing kingdoms

Though they spell bloodshed

 

It trickles

Drop after drop flows

Till the end

When hearts mend

The cup a humble chalice

The flow endless stream

 

The seeker

Walks in white penance

Within dream

Through unseen

The journey a star filled trek

Through the wilderness

 

Fading steps

In realms of the void

Of reasons

Self devoid

Only knowing acceptance

The why matters not

 

When hearts rule

The kingdoms flourish

Each bastion

A limb cast

Inner nurturing outer

The Love grows within

Blue ribbons

Hang from the dark skies

As the rains

Fill the plains

With the remains of seasons

Spent in wasted stance

 

Plush meadows

Once breathed laughter’s lines

As the sun

Shone brightly

Upon yards now unsightly

A blossom of graves

 

They built caves

Within heathen grounds

Released hounds

On the weak

Their kings grovel as we speak

Their battlefields red

 

Newly wed

The bells ring for you

Pealing love

High above

The cries to bring out the dead

As the black tides sweep

 

Put to rest

Soul in house arrest

The moonbeams

Hush its screams

It wanes withers but for dreams

Daily sustenance

Daylight broad

The waking penance

Where I walk

Where I talk

My mind in slow resonance

With the sleeping hordes

 

Iron rod

Piercing my ribcage

They seek rage

Through outrage

The body feels mind repeals

The soul mere stillness

 

Walk along

I will recount lives

Filling you

With wonders

From deep wells I draw splendors

My mouth a brush stroke

 

We relive

Many lost embers

The frail heart

Remembers

Feelings more than brief memoirs

Stories for boudoirs

 

United

The pieces of us

They sing loud

The Swan Song

Crystalline drops that take us

To where we belong

Friday brings

Darkened pangs of fear

Forgotten

Oaths of Love

All that we had then held dear

When we brandished wings

 

I flutter

In between the realms

Of half light

Blue darkness

Heart caught in the wilderness

Between drops of Time

 

Empty rhyme

Faces apple tree

We ate least

Of the crust

When we ran so wild and free

In the blue gardens

 

Golden ark

Shimmering silence

Where bodies

End the souls

They dream of embers and coals

While the rivers flow

 

Hidden spark

Ignites inner realms

The Master

At the helms

Only the soul goes faster

Forget fading light

 

I speak bright

He quotes the darkness

In between

Half-light stares

Our eyes held the stone clad glares

Polarity world

Bravery

The mark of true hearts

Purity

Only trend

The tears in souls that they mend

When the love departs

 

There are skies

Where nightingales fly

To the sun

Flying high

They reach beyond the dark lies

Grounds where we are One

 

The love sways

It plays hide to seek

Inner ways

Sheltered soft

Deep within the mossy creek

Where green waters flow

 

Strong and slow

Threads of fate tie knots

In bundles

Of flowers

Within eye more than blue hue

Of forget-me-nots

 

Faltering

Between Jane the plain

Priscilla

Of deserts

The heart composes new games

A tic tac to who

 

Flipping coins

Cinderella’s shoe

Tossed in air

All is fair

My guess two mates would stretch loins

Beyond compare point

 

Bleak wit’s ire

Seeking soil or fire

Rebuttal

Of weak mind

Is but of the feeble kind

I take bare chances

 

Winds’ dances

Complete my footsteps

I watch calm

Your actions

In life we choose safe factions

Or lead into storms

 

Bow to norms

Or shine inner light

Am I worth

That dire fight

Rhetoric in phonetic

The woe in the Earth

Look upon horizon see the trees that will grow

Through the empty playgrounds where the voices holler

They fabricate reason for a token to show

Cinderella makes rounds for midnights to colour

 

The king tries for treason as the daffodils slow

Fading garland surrounds the beard like a trawler

Flowers out of season smother traces of snow

Flickering net makes grounds for souls to grow taller

 

You called upon me once like a ghost in decay

The moon shone through your frame like a weeping willow

Head hung facing two suns as three to music sway

 

For beating heart to tame shoulder to cast pillow

I offered you sun’s bunce web of golden threads’ play

You resumed aging game sliced orphan and widow

Empty space

Deconstructed times

Words carry

Weight of hearts

Weaving pain and hope in arts

Of the spoken thought

 

We forgot

The yarn spread inward

Spinning wheel

Turning slow

Built upon the fading glow

Redesigning worlds

 

We once lived

In a land of wood

Broken staff

Pointed hours

Out from within realms of scars

Time gushed peeling skin

 

We loved once

Book of faith and glee

I washed Hearts

Laundered souls

Dark matter amassed like coals

Reeling in waters

 

Piling black

Capping me like dunce

Triangles

Compressing

My roundness into angles

As I squeeze contours

 

On love’s path

We oft take detours

Ray meets Pi

Shadows’ death

The walk on circumference

A greater journey

 

Morning star

It buds within me

Rising light

Carries me

Into meadows of morrows

Where forgiveness lies

Sacrifice

A three letter word

Embedded

In my streams

Your broken body in dreams

As they take you down

 

They walk high

Above wilting stars

Their reign dark

Our fate stark

Destiny written in scars

Etched in our feathers

 

Soul weathers

Many thunderstorms

The heart heals

In the light

From coursing river it swarms

Energy of blue

 

IMG_2541

 

To renew

A leap of blind faith

Dark wedded

Starry skies

Waking souls discover lies

Under white covers

 

Moon hovers

Ominous silver

Lost star’s gate

It dissolves

Within the streams of their hate

As bosoms lay bare

 

Reach within

To morrows’ stories

I hold sight

Of beacons

Soaring eagles beyond might

Of Kings and regents

 

IMG_2532

 

We are Queens

Within our kingdoms

Bold reasons

Hold our heads

Above the valleys he dreads

Renewal our means

 

She gives birth

To our sorrows’ death

We inhale

Holy breath

Woven through the times on Earth

Chosen detention

 

Glory’s wake

Within the surging

Energy

Coursing through

The hand extended now you take

Psalms our intention

She sits calm

Pondering life’s ways

As Time flows

Like rivers

Our souls go through highs and lows

In dancing waters

 

Sometimes fast

Sometimes inching ants

We let rants

Broken past

Separate our hearts that beat

Quick admit defeat

 

The knowledge

It comes slow steady

Into minds

Waking souls

Of the chosen few ready

To live on the edge

He lived thrill

His words harsh mouth shrill

Skull beating

The heart numb

Errors of past repeating

His memory played dumb

 

We light skies

With crazed fireflies’ glow

Or dead stars

Throbbing lies

Bursting out of mind’s control

To clean mess takes hours

 

The clock sighs

As it counts seconds

Turning slow

Centuries

Two were to bear it the flame

Now one scurries lame

Phantom twin

Runs lone for the win

Ghostly foot

Joins the race

In pairs we face less disgrace

Battered time relay

 

He turns meek

His lessons now learnt

The soul burnt

Forged by change

He offers strong other cheek

Forgiveness not strange

 

Each other’s

Tutor and pupil

Lessons pour

The heart’s fill

Winning humility’s sight

Bringer of the light
