bereft of knowledge
clusters of fluttering words
hiatus of thoughts

mimic thoughts
through my fingers
on paper
received by my soul
driven by how
you read my words
once dormant
then direction
*
reflection of you
and my words
suddenly
get wings
to fly

Silence…in fields of stone

concerted bleeding
from imaginary thoughts
silence torments
from skin to bone
a tiring heart
this world has failed
to whisk apart
neither empty
nor full
immersing
in oceans of
expectations
*
some find peace
in fields
of stone

sometimes…
just sometimes
I sit and wonder
water droplets
against the glass
twilight gloaming
ambrosia of love
so tough to hold
the walls of my heart
pressed in memories
between the pages
of a forgotten book
pictures in my mind
the long road home
I wonder …

mortal sins
only fractured
reflections
of naïveté
where words
float from muses
in twilight stillness
thriving in
bareness
lingering inside
passive minds
to see inside
one’s soul

an unwanted portrait
erupt into life
painting a picture
our fervent
nirvana was
disturbed
*
who knows
the sheltered
emotions
behind the
brush
of a
painter
***
still
the rainbow
promises
tomorrow

african rhythm
beat of my heart
I once was part
of her starlit night
the crescent moon
shining so bright
foreign language
whispering softly
my naked desires
in blazing fires
forever merging
on fertile ground
in true tradition
distant voices
lustrous glint
infinite love
ETERNALLY
part of me

in roaming streams
of death’s journey
so much
more poignant
to lose a beloved
to the soundless
laugh of love
the scent of
your absence
with ravenous
desires
on mental shores
of solitude
*
my pain wears
the mask
of a virgin
