with the dawn fading
as all that burns bright dims – just
childhood memories
.
brightly twinkling stars
constellations in grasses
tread softly through heaven
.
in grasses I left
long may you burn firefly
a wasteland beacon

with a lantern search
the gloom of this world – darker
for a deathless me
.
behind a black veil
a life-full of dark secrets
will you choose: I do
.
an arranged marriage
will we make an old couple
wedded to this world
.
dew to quench the fire
shall I ever be alone
do not fear to leave
.
in this shadow world –
this nether-nether land –
is there still magic?

from source to soul
detoxify the mirage –
a matrix of lies
.
each train ride –
a tourniquet of boredom
constricting my heart
.
character review:
a blank personality –
my poker face
.
descrying this world
conscientiously objecting
to normalcy
.
methods twist –
where darkness falls – reason lies
invoking nature
.
earth, water, air … fire!
fingers twist conjuring shapes
transforming futures
.
bitter thoughts attack
inaction’s utter violence –
the calm in my eyes
.
the mundane facade
before it is unleashed
prepare for the storm
.
feel the pressure wave:
smell the rain before it falls –
hear the gust – it comes!
.
sliding doors open
silently disappearing
the calm of the night
.
this thread I walk –
this tangled web:
where dost it lead?
.
Embers
.
raising the blind
to the gloom of the world
how-so-ever dully it may shine
welcoming the green
vigour of plants
to illuminate the room
even between the tree and I
hanging mist is draped
suspended like a thought
imperceptibly – droplets in vortices
swirling in dreamtime
around the thrush’s wings
as complaining, remonstrating
with a flick of her feathers
she plucks an orange firebrand
from the glowing embers of berries
looks me in the eye – and is gone!
