Where bundled ambitions tug sentiments,Urgent cruelty sorts dyadic remnants For envisioned cages carved from allureAs if preening hung curiosity.

Spoken Turns
Steadfast tongues spend voids on memoriesIn conscious rhythms linking historiesWith thoughts willed in place by impermanence.Time lengthens and shortens their convenienceAs forgotten resistance to hazards.The journey to meaning rolls out in yardsTo exhaust & retire bygone tumultsSeparating tears from smiling results.
Daylight Risks
Darkened resemblance awakened columnsAppearing between cover-grown fountainshappily arranged as sticky meadows.Entwined appetites smother adorned ease.First climbing curls entangling canopies,Then falling fattened by warm innocenceTo the round gallops accomplishing ageLike quick stop reminders strung atop clouds.
Unpotted Anxiety
Scavengers devour survival forewords.Their cutaways brighten lashed reflectionWith groaning banners in tongue sown courtyards.Wild uproar sounds unruly auditionFrom fast distressed lips as woeful prelude.Forlorn wisdom is a contradiction Fathering misguided ineptitudeUnsweetened by eloquent courtesy.In it pale moments languish thoughtlessly‘Till adroit learning garlands destiny.
From Harbor to Horizon
Fond companions nest brutality between cloudsOn sharp tacks copied by time & sails.Moonlit & sun-worn until murmuring slowed,Sympathetic travelers aroused swellsTo shower and balm grief with turbulent praise.Like conspicuous torrents,Mercy steamed wantonness overboardAvoiding prow loss, misdirection, and puzzlementsWhere biography compasses precise stewards.
Landscape Resistance
From towered raimentsYouth doubled elliptic pacesMagnify common identityTo separately question memoriesOf frozen eternity. Narrow fools shuffle hungry windsAnd graze flowered mortalityAs quickly fading passengers. Ugly combs, afterward, Abruptly mumble remnantsWith toiled births and blinding affectionLike persistent habits to cloud beginnings.

He stood in the zephyr, pipes in hand, On […]
Guarded Prompts
Wavering fires hurried rust bound silence to delight thunder and tremble ashes.Their unkempt madness puzzle and forsake reason like tear-swept thorns quickly forgotten.Between indefinite promises cleverness jealously laments unbridged wonder.Embellishing sighs brush and contrapose renewal. Deserts learn green abundance from seasoned joy.When fallen, ascend as neighbors until butterflies flicker comprehension.

“Laurels Burning”
Tendrilled distractions ransom tangled feet As embroideries bound tight to their coats By nodes paved,fenced & speedily discrete. Seclusion ballasts orient all floats To ordered convenience from verdant ports Like persistent chattel toiled infections Mining confused silence from private courts. Underneath resolved service solutions, Adventuring youthful contrarieties Celebrate despair beyond moonlit tense Dressing vigils for […]
