Shaman

April 30, 2009

A handful of feathers

tied into braids,

a form of memory,

small tribute,

to what was,

to the wind,

and change.

Think

April 30, 2009

Forget her

with hope

of normal sleep,

a morning

not alone,

a fragment

of sanity,

a moment

of contact

with humanity.

Seeing Red

April 28, 2009

Red traces through reflection

of eyes, sleep fragmented

into another day, red lights

dragging out errands

to collect scarlet fruit,

distracted by her cherry

lips, but dragging myself

through that haze, following

red tail-lights along streets

that hopefully lead back

to dreams of a red skirt,

and rest.

The Fool

April 28, 2009

Lunacy, extravagant folly,

an impossible cadence

of leaking reality,

ignoring odds, convention,

rules and rhyme,

because sometimes

that is all it takes

to create.

Tao

April 28, 2009

Rumble of life echoing through sleepless night,

nature begging for continuation, linking

small to big, even amidst city lights,

creeping plants, creatures, making

corners there own, adding pieces

to an existence shared.

How To

April 28, 2009

Take boy, add girl.

Next, slowly

mix in time,

tension, romance,

moments alone.

Simmer carefully,

with mistakes,

forgiveness,

and luck.

You may

have something.

Midha

April 27, 2009

Whisper of sound

between ticks

announces a nap

concluded, she

stalks the halls

then thunders

past, chasing

scraps, shadows,

sounds, sometimes

a battle cry,

others swift,

silent death,

before settling

on my chest,

demanding tribute

in pets.

Alchemy of Language

April 27, 2009

Gather the elements;

words, ideas, emotion.

Add creative spark,

see what they become.

Wandering

April 27, 2009

Pacing through another day,

wearing myself thin,

all my dreams,

filled with home,

And I in my bed again.

Passages

April 21, 2009

AnotherĀ  year

drifts past

with friends,

costumes,

shared food

and laughs,

drifting off

to streets

flooded

with excitement,

children,

memmories

of candy,

and age

steadily

moving

forward.
