Evening the mourn:
belief returns each evening;
grief comes at morning.

The new Beatles films
make the uncanny valley
into true nightmares:
golems formed from history,
impersonating old sounds.

The bird called you to me,
I, the inevitable fool,
you, the inevitable jewel
that's long since lost.
You can find me,
but at what cost?
I won't reach you
'til I'm lost too.

Anonymous eyes can still be deceived
by how they’re perceived 
in silence.
As if the violence of the world
is unfelt,
undealt, 
unknown.
This hand is not prone
to hurl into lines
the unfurling of crimes,
the most vile we know.

That pain felt by ascendant souls
who see life as more than a game of chess,
one where the soulless make a mess
of everything they can touch.
Where the soulless take so much.
Where they devour dreams
and demand compliance.
I can’t forgive the contrivance
of transferring one’s pain
with the lofty rawness of bitter refrain. 
That stain of words meant only for the speaker themselves
dressed in a steel suit of rusted wealth.

But tied souls are reborn tethered too;
this I must give you,
there’s a sense that balance must exist
rather than the shift
from bad to good. 
The mist of excuses would 
always demand the intoxication 
of vocalized isolation
over calling out the true source.
While anonymous eyes always perceive
how other minds can be deceived
and forced.

The last of the light
held the day in an embrace
it hoped would ne'er end.

A truth tapped my shoulder
and told me I was a ghost
who died long ago,
when the world was kind
and life full of promise.
I could not argue.
I could never argue.
So I just obeyed
again
and became the mist,
that dew of night's forgotten breath.
Lingering, but never seen.

The nightingale sang me a new dream:
quivering,
undefined
yet defining all in its wake.
What a life a dream can take
when we allow the new
to imbue us
with trust.
Perhaps not trusting,
but free of musts.

The pale glow of certainty in your eyes
bolsters each beat of this heart
with hope that someday
we'll find it ourselves.

Wake

Nothing can fly with #mildew #wings,
yet the light always frees us to flight.
Takes away weight of the night.
Warms us to battles we fight.

Nothing can fly with mildew wings,
but dry, our freedoms sing.
So let your honest ring.
See what true flight can bring.

Were we once free of this wound,
this self inflection 
pointed at replication 
and sameness?
This tower of glorified monotony
and its heave of static
as we descend 
into the certainty of bellowing splendor.
How loudly it praises itself,
even those deaf to its contagion,
clawing ears with endless fears
that nothing true can measure.
What pain it projects
in endless commands - 
the demands of mad men
who know not why not them. 
Why not them;
why knot them?
Why tie anything closed
when the stitches just pop anew,
never healing, never true?
The wound is ne’er allowed to heal.
And its only beauty that it steals.

Words abound without sound
in the lull between
anger and healing.
I feel this old self peeling,
revealing
a me more raw
and here,
a me beyond the tears.
Beyond old fears.
But there's a sadness in the peace
they never warn you about.
There's a flood of release
when you finally make it out.

a fresh March captures more light

I wake from a dream 
to find life a nightmare:
both in thoughts 
and what they allowed.
Those duplicit commonalities
painted rainbows on shit;
spun lies of polyester 
then labeled them silk. 
When I think of it 
my entire body cries.
Flames arise,
and bitter biles 
own me 
for a while
again.
The lies just melt to goo and then
the prelude to insight passes
and leaves what amasses:
the rest of my life. 
That’s all. 
More time to live in it,
with it,
honestly, but never free.
Fierce, but affected,
on a verge oft neglected.
Because situations may end,
but memory extends them into being,
publishing them into this draft
of human
I am. 
I’d edit them, 
but never can.
I’d edit them,
but I’m only man.

A mouse deciding to
bark
and play fetch with me.
A crow deciding to
roll over
for belly rubs.
My dog deciding to
fly
and eat cheese.
Such improper curiosity.
Such zeal for the unknown.

Give the deck another shuffle,
but let me cut this time.
These hands of mine want
some random chance,
some chaotic dance,
some play in four suits.
Reverse the clock,
let it restart with a fresh deck,
a new dealer,
a new game.
I pray time it's not the same.

this home of a life we share

What a sordid tale existence writes,
when life is like a script:
written,
forgotten,
then improvised poorly. 
This mind tries to remember
but often falls short
of the grand plan,
the ballad sang
at the mention of a prior name
this soul held.
Still, I try
while the piranhas vie
and plant lies:
their meddling shenanigans
against my dreamy mettle,
this aura of anxious peace:
peace that’s pieced out
while anxiety stays close. 
While anxiety plays host
and guest.
I promise I’ll do my best
though I dropped a line another time. 
But what a sordid tale existence writes
by those who dare to write it.

The woods held much 
of our joy,
mossy artifacts 
spent by centuries of ruin;
what was once a palace affected by 
the claims of nature and time,
those merciful masters that offer sacred fulfillment
in the return of green. 

But passions called our bluff
and we veered off course;
what once was a path
became and improvised jaunt, 
a ramble of words and feet
as you ask,
“Is this Love?”
“Can we find it again?”

Can we find that oasis of flame:
our garden inferno
with rubies in leaves so
brittle, yet yielding;
not hot,
but inflamed with whispered threats
that the search may end. 

How we’d be
would we dare stay there-
 in the woods unknown,
in the garden ungrown,
in the endless search
for my treasured end. 
If we’d let the trees inside us bend.
If we held what held us so true.
If we dared to know we knew.
How we’d be would we dare to know we knew.

A wall of tools yet required,
a wall of projects yet inspired.
Thought in deconstructed form.
Threads that one day will be worn.
Sew the garment, sew the story;
display of bobbins: a sewist's glory.

Hi! I mainly play around with poetry here, just going wherever the prompts take me (mostly free verse & haiku). Maybe one day I'll write some metaphysical fiction, we'll see. 😊
