Poet shakes a finger

Bend your ears to my words and hear me well

If you love
then speak that love

If you see someone as beautiful
then speak that beauty

If you are all admiration for someone
Let them know

This life is too short for silence, for false, for less than everything you have to give

Feelings upwell in the afternoon light

You haunt my dreams
A regular reoccurance
who is anything but regular
As slow as you want
As fast
I’m here

Founderling

Of fire
And a fair bit between
We cavort the wheel
Dancers of the scene

Turn and turnabout
Flickers on the edge
One moment of summer
Another…

Of ice
And the darkness closes in
Of savagery and crystalline
The dancers court the blade

Balanced on the spinning leaf

Elder Dreams-Audio

 

in silence bound
in seeking sought
where others bind
i was bought
when hearts collide and justice founds
my hopes do bide, in collision
sound siren call
revision

in loves sweet sigh
in voices raised
where heavens call
undertree did dance
and palm to palm
and join to join
praised by kine
in moments ere the fall

they seek, they find,
the burn is seasons rime and dragging feet do come to call and hopes are risen
ere the fall

but drink my wine and drink my blood
and we shall step above the sea to feast and dance our revelry
you seek a fight, we seek to feast and in the middle there’ rise a beast
in death we feast and seek the battle draught
in life we love and lust
break bread with us, break meek

but I am bound, as ever was, and in the silence

weep

Aftermath of pathogen

Barbed spikes quivering in the steel air
Digging through soft tissue
Embedding in

Rot encapsulated and packaged
Choking and raw
Worse than the unbearable heat

Burning vibrations
Echos
Valiantly dying in the millions
To save one unworthy life

Musings of a blade

A blade so sharp
It cuts the spark
And burns the world
Bare

Shoulder this heart
To marrows part
And turn to widow’s lair

Oh, love so fair
Break bread
Be merry
Before the blade falls fair

Not so casual

If I were inclined to be casual
I’d find myself lacking
Instead discover wanting
Distance bedamned

Casual lacks teeth
Lacks truth
Lacks fulfillment

Give, instead, the taste of the tongue
Run across skin
Desires bloom
Full blossom

As I sit
In calm repose
Intensity of gaze
Makes casual pose
A lie
