From the chest that harbors The sheen of finer days Taken too soon Like lost grains of sand Past roads emerge From the twining flora of old Forgotten and buried By the sure passage of time A flurry of words Blossom once more As if in their prime Their sure and confident age From the…

Yearning to fare smoothly To be wholly engulfed By tranquility’s embrace The hours shed As I swerve with hope Upon the tamest plains That near jubilation But it is not quite I am destined to hover Not straying far From the solid ground I know The hours fly In my subdued longing The urge to…

Frittered potency Lurks beneath each page Hollowing, every fallen verse I’ve cruelly sent to wither Flat notions wail Yet their cries never carry Unheeded and useless Eternally, fragile and impotent My greatest crime Of wasted vigor Lingers in full display The glaring fable Atop the pillar For kindred eyes to reap Within seclusion I strive…

Slashed away By the frigid gust Brought forth in the thunder’s Flare and fury Fright endeavors To paralyze and conquer To deplete and drain The solace I keep Panic coils My honest young The truth-bearing seeds I’ve thoughtfully sown Pried with ease By a trying wisp A savage marauding Native only to my flesh
