Phoenix

As always, this is an original poem (wrote it tonight!) Hope you enjoy!



In love

With the silken contours of shadows of slumbered

Sunlight upon somnolent valleys;

Entranced by

The carefree breeze as it rattles eager trees

Limbs out-stretched to bountiful life-

Blessings-brilliantly-born 

In the womb of munificent present.

It is then that I see the truth,

Naked, opal snow on monastery-peak,

Nictitating eyes of atheist nature;

An atomic resurrection;

Phoenix moments set aflame

On the cross of troubled thoughts-

Only to rise again-

From the ashes of a setting sun.

Halloween

This is an original poem that I drafted tonight. This will be one of many Halloween-themed poems! Enjoy!

Tis the one night a year, I can see my beloved
Guided by halogen stars-
 Beaming dead smiles,
Sighs and screams fill the alleyways-
And ghastly ships sail un-tethered from sepulcher bays,
Lit only by eldritch moon-rays-
Spotlighting the empty graves
As the restless dead roam un-moored
And lurk beneath the creaking floor-boards-
To feast upon the unlucky-living-lot-
It is then I see my beloved.

She appears,
Corpse-pale in the shaded grove,
-Virulent tears-
Nightshade blooms wherever she goes,
Ghastly,
As every man knows,
Who has ever
 Felt the shudder
 Of a Zephyr flutter-
Of drapes on a windless day;
A shiver,
And she is known to me.
