Soft shushing
................... sea-tunes
Quell the most
............ venturesome.
...
As the strip of fire edges its way
Over the backcloth of night's dark bay,
And makes horizon afterglowed
With sunset's bed of reds, echoed,
...
So many still falling, victims to hate.
Are wars meant to cease before it's too late?
Bodies in bags arrive, heavy with grief.
...
Deep and lonely, darkness engulfed me,
Crouched over my fragile mind, no caring
Ever pacified salty, shed tears.
Despair remained always unmoved.
...
Hearts sing long heavy melodies
When hurt presses salt to their core.
Lonliness pushes more thorns, corrosive
And guilt-edged, then, defensively,
...
From bottomless depth,
Sunken old wreckage........
Of previous detatchment
Anchors our love.
...
My days would become
One shade darker.
The sun would be blue,
And, but for you
...
I saw today a glint of
................. springtime green,
Gleaming quietly
......... aside a stream,
...
Short but torrid their romance.
Lit the heavens every night.
If given only half a chance,
It would have set the world alight.
...
I shyly wear modesty all the day.
Dressed in decorum,
........... composure all smiles.
Unworded thinking will lying allay.
