Dark Moods

Words attack

in gray letters

while sitting behind a desk,

arrive hanging from the robe,

the hands, and the thoughts.

Every part is injured

with no cure

and nothing to

swing open the mind.

The motionless floors

Cannot cover the pain that is

Dropping from the walls

-blood and the songs that are hammered

to the loneliness of a poet

And the multiplication of Sheema.

I am sure death has pierced your motionless body by now

Is your hair growing in gold?

 

Golden anything

My fragile nights bathed

in Wisteria

Freshened by Eucalyptus

Pools of anything but Sorrow

Thee my love, thee

Angels and wings of dreamy shadows

Kneeling

Waves of desire

Floating essences, flooding rivers

I am trembling, tremble

Oceans of passion, desire

My fragile nights.

Thundering anything

Waking from mirrors

In the corner of my eye

razors flooding to enter.

I ask my heart: Why?

And the pain becomes a rare visitor.
