I'm looking at the raindrops each with their new smile

They dance across rainbows every once in a while

Not forgetting the dewdrops, crystal and so clear

Just waiting to deliver a portion of morning cheer

I know all about the rivers gentle as they flow

The summers and the winters, when we have some snow

living in the shadows of his memory

fulfilling a brotherly pledge

I said I would take care of her

when his life slipped off the edge

We grew closer to each other

and to wed was the natural thing to do

But she never did forget him

I walked away or…

only breath, an empty silhouette
a fenfire heaving nothing but a sigh?

Your accolades and fine acclamations
in no way reflect my aspirations.

Ironic success! Karmic violation!

mezzotinted, timid and elusive…
gracefully adance between
unlimited horizons time and space…

painful and they bite,
Scientists who scour the brush
for the crawling fangs of fright.

They creep up on a spider
and tell you about its teeth,
apparently it's aggressive
and woven like a wreath.

This one is a Wanderer,
it despises parlour games
it jumps at any perceptible threat
I wouldn't call it tame.

Sweeter than the songbird up there in the tree

singing his little heart out beautiful and free

Sweeter than an infant newly born this very day

brings joy and happiness without a word to say

What is sweeter than this you may very well ask?

Only Him who created it all, in a six day task

my sombre mother said;
"the barriers break and crumble
'tween the living and the dead".
darkest night is licensed
and unleashed upon the Earth,
fear and fright are roaming free

Pumpkins cut a ragged smile

inviting tiny hands to mine,
their mirthless burning bride.
