Ashen Grace

Cold sweats...

her slumber stirs;

moths trapped inside ribcage 

Iced finger-tips trace down her spine 

...she waits

Breath quick;

eyes tightly shut

...paralysed; struck by fear 

Heartbeat amplified; deafening

...he's near

Clutching

her heart in throat...

her sanity unfurls

Draws blood with fingernails... her screams

...unheard

Day dawns

the night has gone

...she lies in ashen grace

Cold...yet clearly her fear still etched 

on face

Passion's Thirst (Micropoetry)

Be my

water

so I can 

bathe

in your

deep

pool of

desire

Drink

in your

very

essence...

so to

quench

my

passion's

thirst

Forewarned

When the floods of retribution hit

and the glaciers melt as our hearts freeze

Then will we heed what we've been forewarned?

When the Arc we thought inconsequential 

becomes more than a necessity

Will we emerge from this hibernation of ignorance? 

The skies wane above us... so clear to see

The oceanic life depletes... oil drenched tirelessly

Will the animal kingdom then turn to technology 

...I think not!

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (senryu)

medical 'zebras'

rare in condition and heart - 

they have earned their stripes

Azure sky (senryu)

blue tinged memories

camouflaged within my mood

Lucid Dream

Shedding perceptions, one veil at a time 

Stepping out from beneath fear's canopy

Skating the serpentine energy plains

Seeing finally... what I'm meant to see

Subliminally... through a lucid dream

Individually a 'We'

I do not see your colour 

race, ethnicity

or your religion, caste, creed,

status, nationality  

               I see you... as I see me

I do not see your gender, 

sexuality,

or your profession, I.Q.

physique, disability 

               I see us all... as a 'we'
