child of heaven

you still wear the wings you had
in that premortal life,
how you managed to bring them here
i’ll never fathom, always admire;
perhaps it is your way
of reminding me
of that anteterrestrial mansion above,
as you smile and sing and float about
like a memory of light,
and trail fragrance and laughters,
how keening, how sharp,
these cloaks of hope you drape
upon my shoulders,
as [...]

Rhodora Rewrought

December’s fingers held me by the hand,
To lead me through the woods of summer’s death,
And there beheld what months ago held breath;
I stood, a witness of that reprimand.
The mist that hugged the earth assailed the eyes,
The wet and mulching leaves beneath one’s feet
Made the skin crawl with dread that yelled retreat,
Yet depthless silence held me [...]

sincerenity

that i,
unique,
oblique,
unthesame and so unyou,
will be the monogram
of our united hate,
(we term it discouragement)
overlooking
this fact essential –
that out of all
our seeming difference
lies a thread
undifferent,
woven through this tapestry
that unites,
so familiar,
so akin,
so true –
that we are siblings celestial,
a seed
that can bloom
endless forevers long….
what sense then
this common contention?

conquerer

did you think i have forgotten
after all that i’ve begotten,
using paper, ink, and pen,
using all my wit and ken?
oh, how immature thy faith,
much more fragile than a wraith!
this ain’t fleeting as a breath;
’tis immortal, with no death!
when i promised thee forever,
it thus follows that i’d never
disavow what i aver –
that i love thee, conquerer!

renee

listening to your smile is an endeavor
i find worthwhile; your smile, like your eyes,
zither-like sing between the silence that
bridges the gap of my gaze and your image
elevating my thoughts beyond worlds,
telling me secret after secret, but only
hinting at the words, teasing me, beckoning,
reminding me of my ignorance and my
endless desire to know more about this [...]

lilian

lavender, the smile of your eyes;
intransigience, the strength of your dream;
lambent, the force of your presence;
infallibility, the surety of your stance;
alabaster, the purity of your soul;
neverending, your resonance upon my heart.

i don’t remember who lilian was, probably something i read about or met while i was in AMA.

the rain

dripping from clouds,
like an excuse,
lke an apology of sorts,
i come to appreciate
the lightness of its touch,
bringing to my senses
the smell of newmown
life,
waking the slumbering
scions of scintilla.

the appeal

i gave the paper to you,
containing my humiliation,
and you, unapproachable glacier,
to whom all worship must be laid,
you stare as if a giant looking at an ant,
you pinch the parchment
between thumb and forefinger,
and look at the words
forcibly wrenched from me
(my reluctant tongue
fashioned them to fit
your opprobrious ego);
i hang at the two-second silence,
waiting for your verdict,
which come [...]
