A Consideration

Howbeit, stars are often enough absent

In previous darkness I witnessed moonbeams

Shone serenely through openings in forest;

Enough that eagerness doesn't overtake

Ability to see such in this moment.

julia

crushed beneath weight of pillows

blended with unreasonable facsimiles 

she persuaded herself of phantom merits

and learned nothing so very much

of the meaning of togetherness

not synonymous with stay regardless

conjured

flowered tattoos on quivered flesh

brushed naked skin so soft

in slow, impatient rush

to fetch fire

long languished in

prisons of flirtation  

until wakefulness intruded

rudely upon steamy scene

sleep had conjured

Surroundings

ambient actualities 

are

undefined

bird shadows

change green of grass

to darker shades

though

what passes over

doesn't diminish

ground's grid

as bright

as soul's vision

has intention towards

when

consideration is given

beyond four corners

terrestrial 

despite failure

of better pivot

which only appears

apparent  

Veracity

Pain pursues my awareness

Attempting to overtake

Always arriving advent

Innermost which I cherish

Though thoroughly through and through

I am always acquainted

Even if unconsciously 

With the fullness of the truth 

Surviving this so-called world

The shores we seek erode

Till nothing visible remains of sand

For which we so adamantly strove

New combinations of molecules

Eventually displace familiar forms

Importance is not forever fashioned 

Only while we witness consequence 

Invisible quantities of quality require

Grace received with faith as fair guide

Dim Disappearances

Shadows appear

as faint glow substitutes

for fanfare not forthcoming otherwise.

What voices compliment

this almost dark besides

those lost to former near enough nights? 

Everything Was Fine

I checked the filament of the sky

Despite accusations I was not qualified

And found encouragement only from you 

And the invisible force which sustains life 

The Effect Of You

When blue sky suggests serenity

Or even when grey generates calm

Love of you transcends tranquility 

More so than simple scenery could 

To dull severites which swirl here

On earth which isn't always serene
