Duality: Power
Forces in a confident line,
think regarding only space.
Build another secure location,
Rarely is strength cradling grace.
Sunset light strengthens in dust,
as small groups resist disgrace.
This night’s home bent and burnt,
Unwilling to cry in another place.
EaS
Duality: Wealth
When gold’s existence,
rains from high skies.
Days and dandy nights,
breathe deeply with sighs.
When nothingness reigns,
with endless, tired whys.
Seconds melt like years,
while an existent cries.
EaS
Never Let Go
Thunder’s cracked lips smack,
Gale’s ready whip whirled.
Branches ease into a bend,
autumn flags blow unfurled.
Two lovers under duress,
Make promises on their hill.
Tree cries “Never Let Go!”,
Earth hugs “I Never Will!”
EaS
Pink Tourmaline Shards
Jewels melted in slow ride,
Across a lowered fall sky.
Cream molten orange mango,
and pink tourmaline shards.
Buzzed bee on daffodil yellow,
hot chili pepper kissed hearts.
Candied sights tempt the night,
Daring lovers to shine as bright.
EaS
Oh, Marigold
Oh, Marigold, tell me, do others,
look upon you the same.
They've laid you in bunches,
at crafted feet of their stones.
Adorned the grand entrances,
where converts could whisper.
Magicians tutored your petals,
to bring the wit sages sought.
If your arms wrapped at sunrise,
they foretold a wet dark day.
Slender kiss on eyelids closed,
you'd bring fairies out in play.
These variety of dressed fancies,
so many will forever try to seem.
I, however, simply look on beauty,
kissing dew from fresh day’s dream.
EaS
Summation
Salivation primed by hunger,
Solutions found in Our feast.
Sensations fondled by smiles,
Supination’s pose Our release.
Salubrious motions, You and I,
Symmetrical in give and take.
Sedation comes after the waves,
Summation’s kiss as We quake.
EaS
Gone
Gone awry with nothing gained,
I am lost and woefully untrained.
Told so often to beware the night,
I heed wisdom and stay in the light.
Yet, there I witnessed this travesty,
that sets my soul upon broken knee.
Rays of hope strewn across the sand,
some are missing carried off in hand.
I will take the rest in wrap and bind,
travel back to the dark I declined.
Set them in sconces along the wall,
lighting the way so no one will fall.
EaS
Rise and Fall
King Umber steals at earthen crown,
His storm an assured ascendancy.
Clasps the sun and chained aground,
blue ice crystal eyes rise, set free.
Queen Burgeon lets fall Her hours,
halts nipping kiss on Sun’s lips.
Her mortals have endearing powers,
thriving from both fellowships.
EaS
Impossible Place
The place just between,
my heart and my mind,
and my hand with a pen.
That's an area i find,
has my soul crying,
to no peaceful end.
If i could find,
my place within,
that space and go,
without a merry trace.
Off I'd be outside,
myself and hide within,
aching chest and head.
I beg that impossible place!
EaS
Adoration’s Weight and Measure
Her scales employ weights,
reserved for her lofty use.
Curios like angel’s eyelash,
and ampules of chartreuse.
A diverse cosmos to measure,
She’s a myriad ambient ways.
She assesses her love using,
sunlight’s reflected moon rays.
EaS
Causation
Drifting through my internal smoke,
deepest breaths unwilling to choke.
Resident’s ash grey and cinder black,
charcoal steps on unrequited track.
A soot silver doorway scarred to last,
I feel fine white embers melt my glass.
Floating on heat haze wetting my eyes,
old furniture flames ignite my disguise.
Books and pictures scorched in pain,
incendiary halo evaporates the rain.
Rooms in my home so recently ablaze,
blood’s fever leaves my brain braised.
Fire burns everything from within,
starts in hope and isn't altered by sin.
Wallpaper shrivels as matter converts,
hot cremation sands my only desserts.
House of my mind in conflagration,
homeless there with me as causation.
EaS
Penalized
Heartbeats happen as earthquakes,
fumbled fury gasping for a fight.
Knuckles smashed like crater shakes,
face flung like molotov in the night.
Fingers in eyes rolling those cysts,
rib cage depressed in tight room.
Worry rides a tide of teeth and fists
jaw shoved til chin touches the moon.
Breath bleats an abused hurricane,
shards and spittle riding this scene.
Pounds of haze ensorcel the brain,
a voice box rips from wetted scream.
Mouth shivering like a fresh wound,
the skin as a trap with no escape.
Muscles spasm and tightly attuned,
cheek bone on asphalt’s cold scrape.
One being only with body's tired cry,
penalized myself and don't know why.
EaS
Amplify
Growing up I wanted,
to be this and that,
and all of those.
Yet, Life can teach,
some to amplify.
Now all I wish,
is to simply be,
the water you drink.
EaS
Storm
Every syllable is a tear,
cast into puddles of words.
The winds of my storm,
shriek into crooked lines.
The lines clench lightning,
dazed as blasted verse.
The stanzas sorely burn,
the chambers of my heart.
EaS
The strong pieces,
were too heavy,
to carry this morning.
They lie discarded,
on my closet floor.
This day starts wet,
and I've a leaky heart,
that today abhors adorning.
EaS
Romantic Notions
Growing up carrying,
grand romantic notions,
which blistered into ire.
Now travel is slowed,
by the muck congealed,
deep in this useless mire.
EaS
There are those,
sometimes labeled,
as big softies.
Soft like cotton,
and silken sheet,
or sweet toffees.
More than likely,
unknown to you,
He's a kind hearted,
sweet tasting,
tall form of goo.
EaS
Clear Beatles
Here in the dark,
are careful creatures,
crawling from clay.
Small and slippery,
across these temples,
so unwilling to stay.
These clear beads,
these gliding beatles,
they will melt away.
EaS
Architecture
This lack of any tangible input,
has grown outward so gradually.
Time carries smiles holding tears,
unnoticed construction during years.
Soul fell then, but landing just now,
saw the brick and still lost balance.
Walked strongly but I did not expect,
experience to label my heart derelict.
Laid there prone watching ages ago,
intangible things crafting this space.
No angle offers a trusted direction,
echoes repeat my mature dejection.
Encased by bricks placed so deftly,
mortar spun with my heart’s drops.
A dark architect drew mind’s home,
this quiet, stale, cracked, solid alone.
