lethehallowed cure
or, is it?

olden taste
of nightmares gone hope

breathe in
the unsullied beauty

desire is wild

wisdom
is a nomad

wander, soul
further and ahead
drown the past, deeper
if you must

but never forget
how to trace your footsteps back
to the knowledge of pain;

even memory
would rather un-remember
desolation.

wind advisorybattle of colors and wills
and seasons

the branches flail
as two clans of clouds clash

fallen soldiers, the leaves
dance downward
needing no obituary;
Nature always turns
death into life

no greed, no vain crusade
for power, to be abused
no tears, no graves, no mourning

come morning, the sun may shine
or perhaps, the rain and wind will keep
the stronghold of their stormy pact

but still, instead of bloodshed
there will be nourishment
and the un-weak that fall
will only make the union
and blessed harmony, stronger

balance;
if only we fought our wars
like General Gaia.

Fade outI don't know how I got here

It's the end of the line for ghosts

and the scent of this strangeness is soothing

even though the wind will keep whispering

for a while, I'll stay and play

and the music won't stop

until I've rested enough for this numbness to end

until you end with it.

treevial soliloquyLeaves like butterflies
are kisses, pieces of me
have fallen like rain.

Reflections never lie
unless we seek in vain
to see what cannot be.

I watch me shed
another love affair
with fickle autumn

Fragments of memories
blind eyes floating
on a withering face

of water and sky is
the palindromic essence
of my still fate.

I silently embrace
the long, cold wait
of winter's bareness.

sidekicklet me be foam

run me through your fingers
feel me bubble, underneath
your smile of sun and swagger

let the ebb seduce the flow
and chase me, over the horizon
forgetting for a night(dance)

that you can never catch me.

gone ripplingwhere hope dies weeping
weathered tears of cold decay
impervious beauty springs
in radiant cascades

clad in a lucent mist
veiled silence that commands
a furtive resurrection
of warbling promise

unwitting splendor caught
in a fluid moment, trancelike.

Silvergoldto flow is to last
to outlast
to have found
ever-seeking

fluidity of enchantment
liquid dream
awake, I touch you
aglow

tidal priestess
of ripples and magic
bound to everflow;

I know what forever
tastes like.

Before she falls away

clear-skied smile, beguiling
with windy teeth, approaches
the moistened flesh
of Autumn's amber neck
with sun-full cunning

undaunted, she
continues to sway her leafy curves
unrivaled siren, golden-veiled
evades the nippy bite
prolongs the annual courting,
seducing the marauder, whilst
calmly and wisely delegating
so when the final dance arrives
and she gives in to winter's
breach unstoppable,
all will be primed
for her hibernal slumber;

once bitten twice ready.

un-gaggedWords rattle and hiss
snakelike rivers twisting, jousting
silenced knots that would defy
the very sword of Damocles,
tongue-sharp and flesh-thirsty.

Smothered flow, refused exodus
(like a circumscribed sky)
music-less and cramped
between the whimper and the howl;
foul and violent the taste
of muse's suffocation.

ghost dance

dance with me
in the gawking silence
of darkness, haunted
by flailing swarms
of numb nothings
.
don't let it conquer
the permanent abyss
that will devour all
slithering within

yank
pluck
crunch
gulp

until everything
is naught
.
.
dance with me
snatch that something
of a spark, once blazing fire
now dwindling smoke
.
don't let the echo
of my silent summoning
reach the vacant wasteland
of never again
.

grab
twitch
sway
shriek

let's give them
a ghost love-story
.
.
dance with me.

This is wonderful, I was swept away by it. I love the fade into the simplicity of the final words. Just beautiful, sublime.
