Poet Introduction
For I am a spell-spinner...a word weaver...who dares to capture and control--with ink and parchment--the influences of the Light and the Darkness, and cast them into the minds,and hearts,of all who read my writings.

Beltane's Tree
Turns the year, season's circle,
Vibrant, verdant life returns
Beneath the fertile, fecund field
Roots anchor deep in rain-drenched soil.
Within each new leaf unfurled,
Throughout every brittle winter branch,
Joy and vitality gradually flow--
Sagacious, stretching, they reach forward.
In supplication to the Heavens
Arthritic fingers seek the sun--
Life-sustaining, heat-bathing
The gnarled and twisted, aging trunk,
Battled-scarred by lightning's rapiers
And lover's tattooed tributes.
A gentle breeze sighs and...
Vibrant, verdant life returns
Beneath the fertile, fecund field
Roots anchor deep in rain-drenched soil.
Within each new leaf unfurled,
Throughout every brittle winter branch,
Joy and vitality gradually flow--
Sagacious, stretching, they reach forward.
In supplication to the Heavens
Arthritic fingers seek the sun--
Life-sustaining, heat-bathing
The gnarled and twisted, aging trunk,
Battled-scarred by lightning's rapiers
And lover's tattooed tributes.

Wretched
Your mica eyes
Thrust their sinister gaze--
Grim and glowering--
Gouging into gaping heart-wounds
To commence continuous fresh ooze,
Dripping from festering unhealed cores.
Your darkened desires
Derive insidious pleasures...
You watch the writhing and wasting--
The squirming of my weakening spirit,
Gazing at the gruesome handi-work
Of your impaled butterfly.
The brilliant brevity
Of my soul's prismatic patterns,
Exsanguinates in frantic futile beatings
With shredded ineffectual wings.
Faint...

The First Time
We sat in quiet whispers--resigned and frozen
To the wrought-iron slats--
Shoulders touching, knees barely bumping,
Shivering in the sojourn of our anxious intentions...
We were in default 'wait-mode'
And it was the waiting that tinged the tension.
You referred to me as your 'Jaded Juliet'--
Impulsive innocence of perfect porcelain,
Protected within my world of privilege and power...
All feigned sophistication at fourteen.
I regarded you as a renegade--
A rogue in Romeo's guise aloof, un-attainable;
I longed for your street-smart savvy...
To the wrought-iron slats--
Shoulders touching, knees barely bumping,
Shivering in the sojourn of our anxious intentions...
We were in default 'wait-mode'
And it was the waiting that tinged the tension.
You referred to me as your 'Jaded Juliet'--
Impulsive innocence of perfect porcelain,
Protected within my world of privilege and power...

INFINITY
Someday, death will take us to another star."
~Vincent Van Gogh
Painter paint star-spattered paths--purple passion patterns;
Grant me glimpses of immortality in indigo inspirations,
Guide me through galaxies glued inside translucent eyelids,
With pulsating ivory globes.
Ascending into your azure aspirations,
Fractured atoms crumbling into cerulean strings,
Unimpeded by crawling speed of light,
Suspended--momentarily held by grasping moon's golden blood.
Hurtling through...

WHEN ANGELS WEPT
( En Memorium~~12-14-12 )
Within our nation's heart this day,
Death cast its insidious shadow.
In morning's sacred sanctuary of bliss,
The Devil daringly defiled the sanctity of Light.
Into a fragile, fragmented mind,he transported a demon--
To release the reaper's rampage, to execute his will.
In the youthful face of evil incarnate,
Eyes of molten flame glazed...sanity shifted.
From within this vacuous shell,
It demanded purity of righteous blood...
One perfect tender soul exacted--one for each decade doubled.

Twisted tree joints creak
With wind's wailing moon cackles
Dirges for souls damned

Haiku VI
(TERROR)
Onyx night looming
The shadows' breaths shriek madness
Escape now vanished
( . . . .And from ALL those other "ghoulies, an ghosties, and long-leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night...." *
wellll....they will find you.... trust me! Bwahahahahahaha!!!)
* (~~ From an old Scotish(Celtic?) prayer of obscure origin)

Leaves russet clinging
Grasping branches' fingertips
Wind's sneeze sets them free
