Two Poems Of Two Line Poems

Rating: 4.4


The still pools reflection, what clarity, within its deepest depths it holds?
Until a trouble mind bestirs, silts of time. Looking for what else unfolds.


In comes morning, hauling death. Don't close your eyes
There are only another fifty years of worthless wondering left.


..........

Exacerbation

In comes morning, hauling Death. Do not close your eyes
there's only a matter of another fifty years of exacerbation life left.

Self-reflection

Some trouble mind bestirs silts of time. Looking for what else unfolds.
What clarity within our deepest murky depths now holds?

Hornet on the wing

God, he would catch a hornet on the wing,
relish infinite beauty, not its putrefying sting.


Readied gunpowder

Love is a cannonball.
Readied gunpowder
it's easy to fire, difficult to hold
catch once it has ignited all its fire.

.

in His wisdom
He gave us a blanket of snow
an ice door melting

.

radiant sunsets
a campfire now covered
in sheets of snow

.

I can't fathom why
her likeness isn't constant
leaves of change

.



a chainsaw humming
a woodpeckers beak drilling
silence faraway…

.


a midnight vigil
chandeliers of crystal glass
dew-like teardrops plunge

.

a fallen oak tree
an acorn in its round cup
destiny awaits
