Unladylike ๐ I watched it The moon As she fell from her perch In the starry night sky The northern lights bled And cleaved where she passed The milky way screamed And went silent And all fell dark She fell with a thud Unseemly and unbecoming Beached and prone in the doomed grass The last green remnants of the year I watched her h » Continue Reading
I attended a sad funeral today for an incredible woman who I loved very dearly. I turned my feelings and thoughts into a poem. ๐๐๐ Because He Didn't Know You He stumbled through the recitation Of your bland obituary An itemized receipt of a life He called you by your birthname And not the one we knew He talked about your children And the grandchildren too But he said nothing of your frien... » Continue Reading
The Sun Rose Twice The sun rose today Once in the east And again in the west The sun came with thunder Thunder that burned And shook the earth The sand burnt and boiled To ash and glass After the sun rose It fell And left nothing In its terrible wake Dark Genesis Green glass of death, Where sand has boiled, From fiery breath, » Continue Reading
Riddle Of The Sphinx I wait and watch Where stone meets silence And sand cares not for the names Of kings and wisemen I hath no crown of gold Nor wreath of laurel Only the eyes of age Looking past flesh Call me a beast Call me a curse Denounce me a scourge You can do no worse Call me whatever you wish It bothers me not I am the watcher An » Continue Reading
๐ฌ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ๐๐๐ A storm gathered o'er the sea, The silver lake of Galilee, The cold surge blew across the plain, Air heavy laden with the scent of rain, There was darkness upon the hill, And great silence, no song, no chirp, no twill, I watched the cross from far away, The grass at my feet did sway, Olive trees bent and bowed, Thunder crashed, mournful and loud, There were petals on the wind, I followed... » Continue Reading
An Iris We wanted to plant an iris, My dearest love and I, We tilled the earth, We made a bed, We planted the seed, We waited and waited, We watered lovingly, And sat there everyday, In hope for the sprout, But only dirt remained, We called a botanist, The upmost authority, From the biggest greenhouse, In the city, Maybe even the county, He took a look, And b » Continue Reading
I Met Death In The Early Morning ๐ In early morning I took a walk, And I met Death along the way, The birds all paused to gawk, And the willows froze their sway. I looked at Death, She looked at me, Still fell my breath, Like the branches of the tree.

Amethyst ๐๐ Amethyst, in thy shape glittering, Beholden unto me, The month of my birth, What providence it was, To stumble upon your untouched form, Amongst the pebbles of the path, Hail Amethyst, o beloved Grecian virgin, To become a stone- Drunken Dionysus, In his debauchery- Did not see, But Heaven smiled, And so I discovered thee, What once served to protect you, Ma » Continue Reading
The Wind Shakes The Corn The burning sun, On a summer morn, The wind shakes the corn, Spider silk, ebony stem, Dying dewdrops in the day, The rows where the children play, The wind shakes the corn, The midday sun, The noontime bell, Unforgiving June, The wind shakes the corn, Twilight comes, Supper is late, The dogs howl at the moon, The wind shakes the corn, Nigh » Continue Reading
