of Sparrows, Soot & Sand
αἰὼν παῖς ἐστι παίζων, πεττεύων· παιδὸς ἡ βασιληίη
~♙~
sparrows call a song
from the depths of their breasts
to the tune of aching morn
as reverberating wind chimes sing along.
vapour laced whispers
born in pomegranate chambers
shades of rose porcelain & succulent strawberry
bursting from the vacant buds in expectation...
echo'd swoons out of the woodlands
riding on the coattails of lust steam'd mist
sweet jewels cocooned
under the spell of eager winged ethanol.
fire erupting out of lyre strung alchemy
:: flight of the polar butterfly spirit **
dual existence
of
ASYMmetrical discord bleeding in cacophonies.
~♙♙ ~
ivory tongues whip
cracking black bones
..
ash heaps fall from lamps
onto soot stain'd silk clothes.

SMOKE * SMOKE
in * out
hades * halos
thorny crucifixion fit for a king
starry serpent crown worn in sin
..
January flickers embers of the end
December burns beginnings anew
for a shaman in full bloom
~♙♙♙~
unbound by a fate of being born too early
or born too late
& without
stepping in the same river twice
time spreads across the divide
in a line untied or confined
//where//
tomorrow's mind
unwittingly provides psychic songs
in tongues which are yet to be deciphered
though those symbols shine secrets
illuminating skies
with compass constellations
stretching across oceans
& the sandy shores of time.αἰὼν παῖς ἐστι παίζων, πεττεύων· παιδὸς ἡ βασιληίη
