The Howling
They howl at the bitter darkness
Down the valley
Echoes on the canyon walls
Inside comes the searing quickness
So precisely
The lingering debacle
Their words cut to the quick and bleed
To the sentence
The midnight poets wail in vain
Be indwell, the knife comes to feed
The erubescent epode
The epiphany, pain
They, standing fast until first light
Interspersion
Deep within the planisphere

Writing Poem
I steal my love away from you
Early in the day
I seal my fate with you
But my heart won't let it stay
Then when evening turns dusk
from day
Passion rising, consuming,
Assuming what I'll say
As when truth ascending
Pending,
But alledging my feelings
All for you
Wayward tongue flickering,
piercing is the bite
My poissoned thoughts burning
Screaming inside of you

Prayer
For the love of my Lord God
who gives me unconditional forgiveness
Let your Love's light shine
That there not be any shadow
Abiding in me.
Grace my brow with your wisdom
And understanding, ease my guilt
that forbodes me making my heart heavy
Turn my sickness to joy
All my grief to requite

Clouds
Yellow, glowing
Softness, soothing
There...never a sound,
Somewhere between
A cloud and ground
Between lips and thought
Somewhere where there is nowhere
Somehow when we don't know-how
Somewhat of an afterthought
As silently as a whisper
From an owl
In the darkest reaches
Of loneliness hidden in the
Corners of sorrow, hide tiny tears.
Painful tears
Too small to see streaks
Upon those cheeks

I Opened A Door
I opened a door
To let you in
Just maybe we could default
And start all over again
But all I can see
Is nothing to me
Nor is there ever
A sound
So I am left
with the choices I made
And I think I myself
The one that's been misled
Foolish pride and utter contempt
So was all the while I beguile
Your greatest sin was to think
that there was truth behind my smile

Delta Hot
Hot!
It was delta hot
with only two choices...
For breakfast we
had scrambled eggs
toast and hate.
The postman waved as he
brought more papered threats
Taking with him all
the promises of a better day
The cut
took 101 stiches to heal
but it let out

Kick the Can
Said she worshipped me
Her eyes were all ablaze
Cames home from work one day
She said she could not stay
Kick the can
Kick the can on down the road
Then I turned to love another
Promised I would treat her better
When it was all through and done
I was just another
Kick the can
Kick the can on down the road
How many times have I heard those words
How many times do I turn over

November
November;
One of those months
caught in the middle
between two seasons
Split down
into two's
Like daylight
and darkness
'Always feels like home
in twilight,
and just before the dawn
before the birds song'
A time that never lasted
too long
November is warm

More on Unicorns
Part I
Doth the unicorns
Leap forth across the universe
Or just in our imagination
Doth the malachite hooves
Spark on the mercurial seas of Neptune
Or behind the eyes of our pretensions
And fly on feathered wings
Or just in our fancy
Part II
For in my mind
The unicorns stand
In a nervous sort of way
Longing to be gone
Only off to be away
Away...away free from care
