N.K. Trevor Poems

Goodbye: There, I have said it - while this love is still too young to shutter the walls of my heart;
I have tasted the bits of its sword, and from the linger of lust in its eyes, it can surely cut deeper
O, this love, which could not be pure, like many others strewn before my path,
And I could not disclose my fragile heart once again, upon the guillotin’d blade of such a un–loving ripper…
...

I.
Here where, I have longed to be free
Here in my nest, at the apex of my comfort tree
Here where, she meets me half-way in poetry
...

When I grow up, I will grow wings to soar like falcons
To the unreachable edges of this distraught world;
I will fly - or sail beyond the reach of waters and dust;
Beyond the very anecdotes of any legend ever told…
...

I see, I hear, I touch, I smell, I Speak and I …

When I see you, I see a perfect beauty -
And when I don't see that
...

In line to what I define as fine, my cherished
enviable Caroline
Thy genteel beauty is by far, in the regard of
many and of mine,
...

I.

We set our path upon the frozen stream of the snowy bed
And our footprints mark the road where we have come from
...

The sudden rush of the sea bred winds roar
Over my head as they maneuver in stealth
Through the parallel cone hats of the pinus woods
For hours, they have been pushing each tree top
...

I.
The waters of the Aura River is spreading
Gently across her deck;
Her surface dazzling with little quiescent reflections
...

In between the claws of its annealed, temper’d feet
The stubborn bird has clawed to its scavenged meat
Not a kill, but the rotting of some fresh, flesh feed;
That is still ostensive; of slit scars - whence it bleed
...
