On Death It came one night and told me From beneath a cowl of utter night Starless and stark its smile spread And chilled me like the thought of death Nihility it muttered and Nothingness it said While saying nothing As the one hand That clapped Echoing in my skull Lonely and alone Hungry to atone To that which lies beyond my sight Upon an empty throne Deliver me I cried to night Save me from the flood Of emptiness and nothingness That lies to flower’s bud For to bloom like seasons lost And come again too soon Only to […]
The Response 2: Spirit of Light Heart of Dark

Unfinished Recital
Unfinished Recital The words stopped so suddenly Falling to the ground as if Gravity no longer held The delicate balance Of sound to air He called a gathering of the children Even held one, bawling, in his arms For to give them the blessing of the lord For almost five heartbeats The Silence permeated the air As if those were the last words To ever be spoken He fell to the life giving Earth The gift given/taken back As if the Earth just could no longer Sustain the weight of this one man The proverbial straw All that could be […]
