Curiosity

Sweet life giving light.
Your once abundant rays,
now make trophies out of ashen children
caught in your gaze.
And to it goes
the scattered winds,of never know
the mysteries of the obvious.
And hearts aflame all at once
were put to douse in her seas
of rock and mirror,
her liquid diamonds from colds first compress.
And pile rose from the ground
one by one by way of want.
Their chance to breathe
those same active currents
and look to your rays with hopes inflamed.
Another day to burn again,
and be hash for her frigid fathoms.
Another day to unlearn again,
and start again...one by one.

Valentine

A day of love and emotions high
a day of warmth or tears in eye.
With love to give our hearts be open,
in wanting love our souls be broken.
Nights of passion for lovers that twist fate,
and twisted nights for those without lovers of late.
At dawn you awake,with lovers breath on arm,
arm over chest,and hand to groin.
Others wake,to the sound of an alarm,
a pain in their breast,and ache of loins.
Love an emotion,that defies all norms,
Yet an emotion,that can come in many forms.

Mermaid's Lament

Swimming in waters of wants and whys,
"how comes"
chasing waves,
that promise to crash down ten feet high.
Smacking hard on back already bent,
pushing ..
fighting..
to the bottom I went.
Sand in mouth I'm surrounded by water,
but always keeping thirsty and dry.
No salve from such salt,
my wounds grow wide.
When your weeping underwater,
no one can see you cry.
Coral cutting hands that hold on for the ride,
a prayer from my lips,
please pull back your tides.
A moments peace as the waves recede,
but a foolish mistake I must concede.
My skin grows brittle,
a lightening sallow.
Will someone now see my tears,
as I drown in the shallows.

Reach

I have no arms to speak of
as they are now cut off.
The hands as heart's doer,
without joint are now lost.
What mold now shall I grease and shape,
what form life now,
will my life take?
