Reality

take it to

reality

tick tick

Burning

Try as I may

to shine

in the darkness

Oh my heart

nourishment

i nourish myself ––– 

hunger

Ebbs

when my darkness ebbs

when my sleep retreats

when my fingers grip

this 

is the place

where

the meaning 

alights 

Dawn

Not knowing when the Dawn will come,
I open every Door,
Or has it Feathers, like a Bird,
Or Billows, like a Shore —

~ Emily Dickinson

Drifts

when my darkness drifts

when my sleep foments

when my fingers slip

this 

is the place

where

the meaning 

escapes 

Dreaming?

Sorry / Not Sorry

 Mental / Not Mental 

Certain / Not Certain

     Dreaming / Not Dreaming     

Forgetting ?

Molten

Diamond

When––– 

When–   

did the tender plant shrink,

fall to the ground, rot,

lie buried, suffocating?

did the fragile star gasp,

plummet to leaden death, smoulder,

burn coldly, slumbering?

did the ponderous world compress,

stoke the crucible heart, distil,

sear molten, transforming?

did the impatient core heave,

quicken in primal depths, churn,

fling violent, seething?

did the corrosive elements weep,

scour the oppressive grime, rasp,

chafe bare, exposing?

did the tireless steel gouge,

tear through loamy embrace, strike,

seize fiercely, coveting?

did the curious blade tremble,

caress the exquisite angles, question,

cleave naked, revealing?

When–

will the insightful light bloom,

glance this nascent diamond, reflect,

catch brilliant, desiring?
