Angels #descend,
a tarnished grace,
wings burnt to ash
in dark embrace.
Carnal desires,
ruled by whim…
a night’s overture
rising dim.
Faith resurrected
from the abyss…
a devil’s bargain,
a Judas kiss.

I want to climb
But the sides are sheer
And the summit is so high
If I step on the heads of others
Perhaps I could try
Yet they would slide
and surely die
and I would sit at the top alone
left to question why
#vss365#summit#poetry
-
sometimes i fear
the screenplay of my life
was inked by a noir god,
shot in black and white,
a disguise for wannabe saints
who never knew color,
a monochrome pomegranate
#descends from the tree,
i dissolve into Dutch angles,
8mm subtleties
of original gray.

tears descend,
as I break.
this is not memory.
this is geography: a place I pass through daily.
the color of numbers: a scar that learned language.
and became permanent.

'It's mine, Gabe. Mine. Mine. Mine.'
'Calm down, Pixie. We are not going to #descend into a shouting match. Let's check the diary & see who had the last brownie last time... Hmmm... Strange. Every entry says Gabe.'
'See, case closed.'
'No, Pixie! Case forged!'

..a road of light
the sea rises beneath as we descend
we long for these hours when the moon returns to whisper in the breeze & stars come down so close their white fire blinds every edge
hold me close
walk with me through all the lives waiting inside this one..

BACHELOR BUTTONS
Dusk will smudge the shadows
As twilight ends the day
At #summit of the summer
Whose prime has slipped away.
Ragged robin, blunt the scythe
Of Death, who takes the field,
Lest poppies stain the aftermath
Of bounty’s amber yield.

Did you know
colours define mood,
a story of unvisualised emotion?
When I understood this,
I saw the color of numbers,
lifetimes of togetherness,
a #summit of painful separation.
You and I narrate our stories,
recite our pain
on either side of day.

Books and movies taught me how not to murder.
The brilliance of the act or investigation and twists in the tale are such boring tropes.
I rely on simple boring methods.
My work avoids #cadence and emotion.
To yawn or not to yawn.
That's the only question in life.

Angel business, Gabe said. Boring stuff. I didn't buy it. So obviously I read his diary... & discovered the shocking truth.
Now I huddle in his suitcase, evidence in hand. Wait till I pop up mid-keynote speech at the How to Train Your Pixie #summit!

Inside your
Heaven
Whispers,
We gaze
Horizon line,
Studying her
Features,
Cadence tells
Your smile,
Today at one
With nature,
Our eyes upon
The Sea,
Though I would
Not frame her,
Her view is
Everything..

The men prostrate themselves. They rent their tunics in shame. All for a glimpse. She would succor them. Bring them to her breast, then split them like ripe melons. She would feed on their darkest flowers.
Her #cadence is haunting yet familiar. Her canvas is horror and beauty. A crimson smear. Shafts of gold piercing the heavens. The eyes of god.
She will peel back their layers, and empty their souls. Where ecstasy bleeds into madness.

The wise men followed the paths of their comets, one light and one dark, each appropriately garbed in either angelic or sinister attire. They reached the summit at precisely 6:26pm, the comets collided, a small weed popped out of the ground, spit out one leaf and promptly expired.
