Back to the Land of Silver and Spoons
where cracked teacups never leak
bird and beast lay side by side
and neither dare to seek
retribution despite venomous air 
picking their teeth clean of ire
drinking machinations, ilk, and woe
tending temper's tenacious fire

poets in the damning dark
raising pens instead of swords
choosing ink over spilling blood 
healing memory's copious wars.

The Blackening Brae

Tethered, they trust tainted fields
mindlessly moving about their day
despite analogous threads they yield
despite outliers watching the brae.

It’s bias that binds their fragile fate
grows fat upon their sleeping wool
whose grazed gorse perceptions make
in echo chambers presumptions whorl.

Blithely, they bleat and swan the blackening brae
weave weighted wings from predictive pores
until fallacy shakes opaque eyes awake-
the inevitable slaughtering storms.

The Call
Raucous ravens caw
bending wind and inking sky
pensive remembrances
open darkling eyes
approaching storm, echoes linger
inside chaos, pointing fingers
thorny mouths gasp awe's inner hush
awakens veins' blood to rush
upon the ear, senses rouse
tremors skin’s, knowing house
what comes now, cautions its blame
will you continue to play their game? 
Or write life's mysteries upon History’s walls,
gather fallen leaves, mustering you to the call
say, WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED
nor scattered amongst cemetery dust
discarded, left to ache as decaying rust
instead, we will revere our connection-
our Souls as sacred kin, honor ancestors
who fought, died, and then, within
find hope in the poetic,
truth in spoken and written word
be the light in our bleeding ink
the pen is mightier, than the sword.

Sweet cadence
escapes rose petal lips
teeming with sigh

desire’s longing
flavors your tongue—
a thousand endless summers
damp in wild dreaming
become quenched in expectation

I would starve on loud hope
if only to feast on whispers
blossoming from your mouth.

Unpacking Peace

Peace is sinking into hues of blue
slow glow luminescence
twilight fireflies amidst cricket song
sweet silencing defenses

The Singeless Moth

You appear as a moth
out of the oven, un-singed
light in your wings
never needing to lean
toward the moon

you are luminescent
a lit candle
heat igniting
my thoughts of you.

Release your cradled cries
let amens halo darkling skies
pearl your thorns into a crown
and sing latent hymns of Never Again.

Lean me over tomorrow's ledge
blaze this sodden night
with your bright tender
love me again
like a metaphor gone mad.
