Sometimes
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better

Cinematically Ugly
She asked:
Why can’t something just be ugly?
Why can’t something just be ugly?
But it can, I replied.
She looked at me. Puzzled.
It just needs to be cinematically ugly.
Which is to say
It must still be beautiful.
Still puzzled.
So I expanded.
Like Leaves
Like leaves we touched, he sang
But I could not understand
Until I had not been touched
For all those many years
But I could not understand
Until I had not been touched
For all those many years
I am the tree
Not just the leaf
I manifest
Not of the tree
Not separate from it
But the tree, itself

Moon ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #60
Like the moon moves the ocean
Like petals draw the bee
Like dawn wakes the songbird
Your love’s compelling me
Like petals draw the bee
Like dawn wakes the songbird
Your love’s compelling me
Blood
Blood courses through me
Red life
Red life
More than grey matter
More than thoughts
More than being
More than all the love
I have ever given
In the final moments
I stop
When blood stops
I am
Blood
She Looked Away
She looked away
And I knew
There would never be
Love in her eyes
If she looked at me again
And I knew
There would never be
Love in her eyes
If she looked at me again
No trust
No love
Goddess on a Pedestal
There she stood
All radiant and backlit
In the evening mist
Like a Goddess on a pedestal
All radiant and backlit
In the evening mist
Like a Goddess on a pedestal
There was I
Enthralled in such luminous presence
And all I wanted
Was to worship her
Walled In
In this walled-in world
With dimmest light
And darkest shadow
With dimmest light
And darkest shadow
I close my eyes
And dream of sky
Pretend there’s green
Hear the song
Feel the breeze
And the sun’s blue rays
