Too Late

gulped razor-blade tears 

sear down throat towards the bridge 

of sighs that no one

ever cared enough to cross

her lake now crimson... too wide

Arcanes

Filigree of life-bloods dominate the skies

Tower, grand, foreboding... ominous and wise 

The Moon Maiden's marbling; blotting shadows cast

Fallen fire-halo, emerald moss roots masked

Wizened staff-branches scavenge the astral plane

Catching wordless arcanes harboured in the rain

Autumn

Autumn

nights have returned

russet veiled hedgerow-skies 

spiders' webs again crystalline 

moon... chimes

Reflected... its majestic reverence

Eons Of Silence

Eons of silence reign in the absence of your words

Questions still in their wrappers lay rotting undisturbed 

Screens, eerily sterile, radiate empty mindless drizzle

My heart, I'm left mentally dissecting... picking through its gristle 

You warned me how romance poisons, with expectations, pure love

Yet you typed the unutterable, lured my dared-not dreams thereof

Made my darkling-desires luminesce in candescent candour 

Left my reason riddled; my reality an impotent ...bystander 

How ironic as I mourn for you... I heed your words 

The conundrum of what I want and need spirals, perturbed

All I know now is the hours we lost in blissful discourse 

I find and treasure in my reveries. I reminisce with... no remorse

Waves

Electrified fingertips search the secrets on your skin

They pirouette, with sweet caress and bid my mouth joins in 

The more I taste, the more I crave, your quicksand draws me in 

Your breath, your beard, intensifies my waves of wanton sin 

I'm paralysed by your prowess your wild eyes hold me fast

As I lie trapped your hands they kneed our bodies merge enclasped 

I'm compromised, you permeate, my porous cliffs... unmasked 

The waters of my being crest... cascade, now freed at last

Jam-Jar Heart

My flawed, jam-jar heart preserves the unquenched tears of you

Tightly sealed is the lid, concealing from others' view

We may have said goodbye but my heart it heard it not

Too weary to even whisper a cry I sense you too forgot me not

I feel your sadness from afar but I'm unable to soothe or console 

Our incarcerated spirits, quantum-entangled, lost... within black holes

I pray your soul it heals and the chains make you grow strong

I ne'er doubted your strength... believed in you all along

Deathbed

What becomes of the dreams of the dead

Unrealised realms which frequented heads

Unrequited love... so intense 

Dialogues rehearsed but never said

Who will read the journals of their mind 

The ones unwritten never to find 

Their tear-stained pages undefiled 

Meandering memories... left to wind
