Fairytale

My fairytale – of dead dreams’ trails,
and time again does sky show veils.
Do all ends come when all starts night,
while seasons fade as would daylight;
so, pray for dreams – they fade in ales.
Wishes die from flower shades frail;
do flowers wilt – broken dreams wail,
and blue I walk in storms and write –
my fairytale.
Sad smiles, bitter [...]

Bright Day’s Shadows

In dreams of false night, as old fancies creep old floors,
a spirit stirs in light skies above; and in muted whimsical echoes
we all sound like we feel once more.
Once more, indeed, while the shrill winds sing encores,
though to the dreaming mind gales are voices hollow -
in dreams of false night. As old fancies creep old [...]

Light’s End

As dancing fires burn up this wood
and falling twigs cry hopeless ash and pray –
can heaven save trees that once proudly stood?
Nights watch, and dim flames loudly brood
as they vanish into endless nothing – bright light gives way
as dancing fires burn up this wood,
scorching earth, though pretty wisps delude
with pretty whirls and breezy twirls daze.
Can [...]

Dreamed Dreamy Sky

Though our minds are shackled, we dream still at night
with wary eyes; wary thoughts we yearn for long
as we look up to the skies, and wish – to fly like a kite.
Winds haunt, clouds tempt – in daydreams we delight,
for the boundless sky croons honey tunes and knows no wrong;
though our minds are shackled. We [...]

Remember (How?)

Console not those who loved. Who’s lost,
but they who fight losing wars with fate –
those who bear burdens eternal, forged in the winter frost.
Wail they may, and shadows haunt, but the chilling wind exhausts
all hope: they, who watch and see mistakes,
console not. Those who loved (who lost)
wander, homesick, homeless – a shadow of love’s cost,
but [...]

Once, and too much

We said
one sentence too many, made
one promise too many – you see, now, as they burn in
dimming fires. There’s nothing more
comforting (if any) than having
one dream too many, now; I write
one verse too many, though words slither and letters bite
like snakes and us alike. Days go and
nights stay, and flowers wither without a sun – [...]

Walk On

Minds walk, and
words watch, and
eyes talk, and
thoughts touch.
Tired but sleepless, living but lifeless –
walk long, see wide
for tomorrow is another endless day.
(Our plight is never over
though forever ended yesterday.)

Winter Roads

Those fools of us who forget the cost
pay. Late, or early – but there is only to find
what would have been found and what would have been lost.
Say what may be, but unyielding is the frost;
haunting sleet that bites and tries to bind
those fools of us who forget the cost.
Thunder groans, and the blizzard shrieks [...]

Here (and gone)

You’re
here, you’re present, and the world’s just started –
clothes don’t fit anymore, you’ve
grown; the silhouette grows as seconds tick and days pass.
The world’s here – reality fluid as fantasies, and
curiosity sparked the landslide of furniture that
killed
the cat. You crawl, and you’re
walking, step by step, and time runs –
clothes don’t fit anymore, you’ve
grown; like a sprout, [...]

Two cents of words

So the talk’s gone. Your promises still
echo (and your words still
overshadow), but there is no more;
a lie said and a lie more, a promise
broken and a promise less
but my devotion isn’t cheap( enough) and
my voice (broken) not on discount – my
words are reserved irrevocable and
my time is taken, though no
reservations are observed unfaithful (and
no words [...]
