pages
in the pages of time
inscribed upon the velum
of argent skin sheer
is her narcissistic life
of dark immortality
Her elegant movement of hand, infuses her script with graceful strokes of purpose. Her cantillating voice, a casting of spell; the binding of eyes to the page; to the ink, that of blood, blotted an...

Villanelle fin
Of our lives, and of our meeting
Of all the schemes of destiny
It is that moment that, is most fleeting
And of our fate, there is no perceiving
Of what will come, or what will be
Of our lives and of our meeting
And in the grandest, scheme of things
And when of chance, fate does select
It is that moment that, is most fleeting
And in our elation, of rej...

Effigy
Moonlight robes your skin; so melancholic
Hauteur of beauty airs within your grace
To deny the sight; is sophomoric
As eyes bare down to burn upon my face
Ill fortune compels me to your bidding
Your countenance agaze across the land
To subjugate all into believing
That freedom is the gesture in your hand
Your effigy of life, stands resplendent
Suffused amid...

Zippered
the scar long, lasts
zippered to the flesh
lily white and encumbered
emotions leech glutted,
save for the dross
head down and unable.
To become something
That was never me

Verities gown
Through graven eyes,
peers the chivalry of love
Verities gown; to adorn your desire
Oft held, in reach of fervors fleeting glance
That discreetness; be perceived by silence
taut upon the lips and ears of many
Though desire was not spoken, but
held within the virtue of true love
Cleaved to, adored within
the beat of hearts passionate embrace
Veracity though; be a be...

The gathering of crows
My minds grasp, for sleep
tolls heavy on my sanity, as
insidious eyes; pry, their beaks foul
in the fissures of my mind
fears creep; freed, to be fed upon
to be mantled by the feathered wings
of darkness
night-tide rises; the gathering of crows
drags me deep,
into the belief, of paranoia

Dedicated to, and influenced by Emily Dickinson:
Their eyes see nothing - of our minds
Or the voices heard inside
As silence sleeps - upon our tongues
Where the hidden truth does lie -
We spoke belief of destiny - and -
Why our paths - had crossed
And of the hidden truth - that lies
In the present and the past
That truth is in our sile...

Hare’s death
I remember death
The hounding of life;
the moving into stillness
The pounding presence
of reality
Then the;
quite in the stillness
The ringing of ears
The fill of anxiety;
the hack of the flesh
The dripping of time
congealed in my blood
