Weighting Trust

The madness of intimacy

is pouring your soul

into another’s heart

and trusting it will

keep your secrets.

Once the nightingale sings

it no longer controls the music.

Grave of the Moon

I am the sea

where you buried the moon…

the salted wound of a dying wish.

Pressed Against Glass

april beckons hope

may will bloom with open arms

closed palms mourn empty

Song of Shadows

I want to lie in moonlight,

float mulberry shadows,

and listen to Keats nightingale

sing me closer to the stars.

Vain Supplication

A murder of sullen prayers

smudges the sky with tantrums - 

dark rosary of vanity.
