Poetry Today

When Beauty Fades

large

When beauty

Slowly fades

And time

Unforgiving

Takes all

Leaving behind

Callous hands

filled with dust

And the remnants

of dead desires

When feet

Laden with burdens

walk the bitter streets

And painted skin

Of Amber and Starlight

withered away

Your soul

Dancing atop beads

of Jasper

Atop glacier filled mountains

Your eyes bursting like limelight

Beneath the glorious sun

Even then

You remain

An eloquent song©

Poetry Today

Specs of desire


Angelic smile

Settled

Upon her lips

A lambent glow

Specs of desire

Dances

Barefoot

Beaneath

The noonday

Poetry Today

Marked….

Finding your name

Resting

Upon my tongue

A deep sweet ache

Undress slowly

Tonight

You’ll be marked

Unequivocally

As mine©

Poetry Today

Betrayal

doves

 

Confused mind

Trapped

Left to wander

Among

Sky of grey doves and black roses

Midnight petals and empty graves

Pressed my soul

Between the unsavory

distaste of love

Find me

Blossoming

Among the thorns©

Poetry Today

Our Legacy

pray-1639946_960_720

We became

Helpless warriors

Fighting

To the bitter end

A cause

A hope

A better future

Our legacy

Painted on tender lips

No ordinary love

Left behind©

Poetry Today

Defying the Odds

The line is crossed

The tongue broken

The color of my world

Liquid courage

I’ve paid the price

Yet here I stand

Defying the odds©

Poetry Today

It comes in waves

A shuffle of bones

Inescapable lost

The heart flutters

Finally releasing the pain

That held the soul

In chains©

Poetry Today

Free….

Walk away

Spread out

Your ageless wings

Of topaz

Of rose buds

In a valley

Of thorns

You are fire

And ice

Rise up again

Be free

Poetry Today

Today Is The Day


Today is the day

Interrupt the sky

Break the halos

Kiss the silver lining

Lay between magnolia blooms

Hold the incessant

Beat of my heart

Spread out your ageless wings

Of topaz

Of rose buds

Taste the reward

In my words

In a valley of thorns

You are fire

And ice

You are majestic elegance

You are the lost melody

That is found deep

Within my trembling soul

You are delectable

My love

Rise up and be free©

Poetry Today

Invisible love

Invisible love

Caught up in chains

Pretentious eyes

Obscure the pain

But the truth

Bleeds out

Of a barren heart©
