Amarantus Lauriere Poems

sinister sappers,
gut cornerstones unnoticed,
then swagger at large
...

Brighter and brighter turns the sky; Sense of self, dimmer and dimmer.
Whence the scissor of solitude begins to blow off steam,
Whenceforth the stitch of solicitude can no longer sew up separative seam.
The departing moon, barely lasting out dawn's simmer,
...

The sky is sinking into the small hours' somber sea.

All level of magnitude, messed up and muffled.
...

mind, sword and action,
in consummate syncretism,
hit home at one go
...

Mistiness best marks romance in the raw,
like gossamer petals bestrewing calm lakes.
Consummation makes it a well-done kickshaw,
the way sapid episodes spice up bland cakes.
...

Ne'er can blank spell baffle the muse for art,
Masterly skills spill from hands, maiden tenderness from heart.
Ne'er can surging barriers block the space of art,
Color of love takes no fruit of creation apart.
...

By all odds tickles the relish of spring,
Point-blank buds bloom and birds sing.
Against all odds all these are out of reach,
For both slaughtered thought and smothered speech.
...
