would be needed



midafternoon
has proven impossible
    to distillate on anything at all…
    save the indiscriminate remembrances
      of moments…
where spirits
   became perceptibly bright
where librettos slinked
    through fissures in composure
 and glances met with  gasp for air

only now,  such excursions
   seem foolhardy upon appraisal

and yet

were i permitted to relive
    a single of such moments…
not a moment’s consideration
would be needed

a thought of you



the other night
full moon shone over the clouds
and a thought of you

a truss
















a once-song-wail
meets another in sky
then as one coil into
the most tender of sigh
as deep as an ocean
or horizon is wide
if but for a moment
a truss they do tie

through oneself


stories with no end
 unsettle
    mainly, because we
         must finish them
and it is difficult
    living vicariously
      through oneself

by morning ash

By Morning Ash


with a crack! and snap !
    they launch into flight.
“fire sperm of sort”… roy says
    “with tail in trail.”
carried towards constellation…
   lifted in moonlight.
and there  is significance here
   yet
something far too simple
    for my complex ideas
         to wrap around.
suddenly  it emerges…
 it is life.
 yes,  there is vitality.
it started small…
   and grew…
   it began to propagate…
     attempt reproduction.
     it aged…
        became a steadier warmth
           an experienced glow.
then
     by morning...
           ash

i do

 i held them off
    as long as i could.
 each one approached
    but did not pass.
 one by one...
    then another.
 surrounding the borders
     but not beyond.
 rising and reseeding
    again and again.
 and when i had won...
    my silent
       emotionless
           victory...
    i did not celebrate.
 no remembrance...
    no parade...
       no feast was held.
 only an empty silence.
and on we went
    to the next nominal thing.
   

however 
 now they have returned
     once again.
 oh how they have collected.
      my every emotion...
      my every thought...
      my every last feeling...
        gathering as one.
 they rise against me...
    finding sympathy in every cause.
 using all at their disposal to move me.
 and as they escape...
     my eyes are red
     and my nostrils close...
     and my breath is tight.
 shivering...
    shaking...
        whimpering....
             i submit.
  
oh how i miss you.
 oh how i do.

Barred Up


i wish i might break looking back
what ought be content and left at that
 
veracities which may have come to pass
not real
nor solid
nonphysical mass

time not now but stuck in then
my heart
my soul
from body descend

confessions noble while denials corrupt
some freedom i should have left barred up

like many thoughts

winter winds blowing, leaves
scattered, like many thoughts.
inside warm love glows

letting go

bustling moment     
contrasted… 
        by sudden quiet.

how ephemeral…
     is this life
        our moment.

so we tussle…

on no account
       wholly embracing.

by no means
     fully letting go.

in orbit

we all have emptiness
and it wants...
mostly what we don't have...
destroying what we do.
even so
if we can perhaps
place it in the center...
if we can learn
to balance it in the middle...
     like an axis...
it's gravity can hold
   the rest of our being
   around it
        in orbit

november sky

i inhabit
   identify
    and resonate
  with your
 petitioning tongue
in the mystique
  of darkened dialect
the immaculate burning
   still furious
glows for you
though as
   a distant star
      in a
november sky

it is behind clouds
we seek light… and in darkness

my bones sigh



settled behind
  misplaced thoughts…
  quiescent moods…
  ramshackle yearning…
            a beat, my heart taps. 
tucked between
   pleated memories…
   collected emotions…
   tumbledown hope…
           a chord, my veins strum.
suspended underside
   hazy recollections…
   pastel feelings…
   watery reliance…
           a tune, my flesh whispers.
sheathed within
    fractured accounts…
    calcified sentiments…
    broken assurance…
           your name,  my bones sigh.

seeing you again






suddenly spinning…
in the best possible way...
seeing you again

a virulent sleep




love
  you charlatan
  you clever cheat.
fixed
   in the offing
   your marvelous feat .
fluxed
   through rime
   with passionate heat.
jolted
   a rhythm
   that had no beat.
today
   blindsided
   your mission complete.
my heart
      awoke from
      a virulent sleep.

unfathomable





life…
 love…
  the appreciation
    of it      all.
delicate…
   ever  so fleeting.
and that you and i
    should meet…
     and touch…
       even if for an instant...

to breathe again



tenderness slings
   over callus scaffolding …
   a vestige of intrepid fire.
teetotal recollections
    tiptoe through doubt…
    leading the sequestration
         of every unarmed plea.
enquiries:
    is it settled now?
    is it ok
       to breathe again?

a truss they do tie


somewhere...


a once song wail
   meets another
       in sky
then    

as one coil into
    the most tender of sigh

      as deep as an ocean
      and horizon is wide
    if but for a moment
    a truss they do tie
