On Sky Drive

For seven days he wandered as a ghost,
where souls of other dimensions lived;
times forgot his falsities that heaved,
in dark nimbus an' a mist covered coast.

He walked on sand for many miles when
strongholds appeared hazy in distance,
it was a cry of a wolf to sown instance,
and two scholastic birds to croak again.

The roses died! The colors dyed in rain;
No one interrupted the silent grayness,
therefore dusk crouched into plainness,
outcast lives of begotten seeds in vain.

So, there Death came to embrace nice,
forsooth freed cold as for twenty five
odd days the brave slept on sky drive,
ulterior left his winter prayers on ice.

Alter Nigh

Guiding mizzen, curved, waves,
my route beyond gray horizon,
spells dim, sails unfold to dawn
my soul is dull and misbehaves..

Weedy paths spiral in distance
spirits broken expend to waste,
eschew encomium for instance
lost lives-souls in caves, etiolate.

Sea streams, envy my cause,
a twinge starts on mistral whiffs,
poems will describe fall leaves,
lonely is the reason to applause..

Delphian paths do know so well,
a lissome figure in winds to cry,
the mist will sink in a sip of rye,
beyond horizons I shall dwell..

Odd Token

She came on, like of the Sun
to lighten snow days of mourn;
an old call; children that run
our thorny memories to adorn;

A wraith she was of lone wind
a ghost that led to old remorse,
and it was a far mode to hint,
that loves are empty by force;

force of destiny, ode to array,
sweet little hopes flied in air,
for souls where in clouds pray,
for songs to echo in empty fare;

and it was our voices that left
up where cities look like smears
writing dusk half lit poetic deft
alone in worlds of abated tears.

Silver Chimes

Forsooth this was a sound of trump
arcane descending from dusk skies
irrelevant, apposite drum,
an oddity and strange surmise.

You came along inside the rain,
the solitude of winter's cold,
a rhythm of notes and same refrain,
a kind downpour of words untold.

Were you a memory of times,
affection to appear evince,
melodic rings of silver chimes,
four seasons of Vivaldi since.

The orchestra performed distinct,
you sole appeared and our eyes,
glanced to exalt a case extinct,
old violins played to reprise.

St George of the Army

Thump of his stallion's hoofs on ground
identifies his blood beat with rhythm,
that overreaches him, a heavens pound,
crucifix set of norms, solved algorithm.

In mists emerges from winter darkness,
his stupefied image in becalmed fog,
a hefty figure gallops on steppe vastness,
steady going measure from hoofs' slog.

Unbendable through thousands of years,
traces amarths of the tenebrious force,
well-set Saint. fights badness in arrears,
an' slaughters monsters without remorse.

Righteousness derives from noble cause
instinctive battles are steadfast to orison
Protects fighting men to impose laws,
for their land's freedom against malison.

Parade Drive

It was when I waited for you - in gale;
among the clouds I returned to share,
the vented blue horizons of solar flare,
cause I had a choice to expand or fail.

And it was a choice we both consented,
one caress - your tips - tender on face,
when fates cared our threads to trace,
for you were my solitude ever extended.

as dusk descended gray upon the moors,
I saw you elevating - upstanding maiden,
a form of sacred above my dark burden,
in river Acheron and my pain that cures.

there were dances with forms diffused,
extended to aboves - expended to skies,
were my spirits - cared death to demise
eligibly alive I was amid blooms bemused.

Factus Illac Lacrimosus

Caliginous, of long mane, maid beckons
as white sea birds dive in airy orbits,
and hazy horizons breathe, on eons,
resplendent she is! my soul transmits.

Thus, all advents of my previous lives
seek out for poetic streams, conflate,
white bluish colors, and dreams to guise,
benign oracle, to honor you and oblate.

The sea, I said, my soul, dimly effuses
to love you in ethereal transmittance,
I disinherit my years in Hades pastures,
accord of Elysian notes, a Deus stance.

The sea-gulls fly above, an obsequious
ocean behavior, so you, a memory fragile,
made solitude my companionship frivolous,
the flights fictitiously, my dreams beguile.

Fever Weaving

An evanescent swift spin,
a clockwise direction,
my sweet tale to whisper,
a collapsing of a star,
weave-heave it, I stare,
an asunder of dark mar,
and your petrified glare
to dismay or rejection.

End of time just dilates
of an astral light glazed,
detrimental to subside
in a desperation wail,
may recall it, if you saved
a lost life that befell,
in a persecution hunt
of a gloomy foolish haze.

An absurd of charioteer
on a strange path of life,

Blunt brumal thorn

Make of your pain
a musical hymn
And become
a nightingale
become
a tangerine
and a yellow rose
misty years will flash
your pain
will be a dance
your tear
a thorny rose
and I, a pomegranate
and a missed
pentagram note!

Let all your wounds
uncovered
I 'll send
branches of sage

Thyrses

Guess you 'll ask me by the side
of that road we passed together,
where promises denied to tether,
my floating message on the tide.

So there, I shall recount I am not,
the one you knew amid the drifts,
as our blue dreams flied in griefs,
as a small solitude was our knot.

Vineyards had grown kin to rails,
arcanum train, distanced to fade,
a northern wind like cutting blade,
was a companion on aright trails.

There you cared to invite a song,
that flied along years to ascribe,
a feast of man agon and describe,
how his aureate sounded wrong.
