Snippets: Uneven Love

Uneven Love 

I wept 
tears of dread 
and thus swept 
my heart slowly bled 

the crimson pattern: 
a trail, running 
an earthen urn 
of dead consumed, burning 

life, the meandering 
river cut short 
inflammed, winding 
back to port 

and bursts 
fragments of starlight 
the epiphany hurts 
descends darkest night 

then clear, see now 
my kindled passion 
and saw how 
it fizzled, fireless destruction.

Modern Myth: Green Fields

Green Fields 

As I walk 
The green fields 
Of dawn that glistens 
with dew drops, listen 
To the softest 
tread I make upon 
the now awake blade 
And breath the 
morning air 
full of sweet 
Revolution still. 

When I walk 
The green fields 
Of noon-time 
Feel the burning 
heat of highest 
Sun, uplifted 
the top-most pedestal 
arrayed in thousand 
blinding rays 
That dried 
the budding carpet 
Upon I bathed, I toiled 
though the light 
then led the way 
The landscape 
Picturesque 
was melted away. 

So now I walk 
The green fields 
Of night, where starlight 
glows dim 
To hopes, to grass 
that thirsts 
Unquenched 
To pyrite light 
as gleamed 
Those golden apples 
To stale old breath 
that tinged 
With cremated dreams 
too soon 
breath fades, then silence.

Modern Myth: Fireworks 2007

Fireworks 2007

The clock struck twelve
And fireworks spiraled in
The midnight firmament
Of newly born stars
Sparking, sparkling
Spring blossoms of
Flowers springing in
The New Year sky
And escalates
Loudest cacophony
There couples now
Bright lights in the night
Bangs of firework cracks
Then nothing
Stars fading away
Silence.
