R K Summers Poems

A whisper in your heart
When love is torn apart
Before your very eyes
A storm within your mind
...

This song I sing is for your heart
Not your ears
Take it with you, and listen for it
In the trees and the wind
...

Clockwork ticker, beating pulse
It lives and loves on wild impulse
Shiver and shake like feverish imps
If you look inside and take a glimpse
...

I sat upon my window ledge,
And sang my song of sorrow.
I stepped into the evening air,
And wondered of tomorrow.
...

Let’s talk about war
We’ll discuss Tennyson
And Brooke
Owen
...

A wolf is descending
A wolf with a single, piercing, blazing blue eye
And a Great Father who spawned his children from his own broken body.
The armour protects the fleshy child within
...

To the east lies Aryndel,
The cathedral on the moor.
To the west is Brackenpeth,
The home of barbarian shore.
...

Listen for her ancient songs,
Of twilight and of shades,
It takes her home where she belongs,
A land of masquerades.
...

“There is a War in Heaven”

The wingbeats of distant angels
Sound against the sky
...

Behind the emerald ferns,
Bowstrings taut and set,
Between the trunks of mighty oaks
Where the fairies met
...
