Black coal sizzles
upon rocks of uneven...

You resurrected my soul
upon a hot sultry night...

I've tasted sour dough bread
images, as you kneaded...

Brittle flakes dangle
upon rigormortis fingers...

I'm the shadow kissing your tears
allow my soul to drown dark fears...

I've written poems of love lost
and blessings of nature, but now...

I gazed outside a fog, flamed window.
There were things within a dark sky...

I was once numb behind pink umbrellas
and quirky rubber bands...

He crossed over into the depths of darkness,
kissing the moon softly before murder took...

Slithered under a blanket of snow
scribbling profanity, as snow crystals...

I truly admire the collection of rainbows
that share my spiritual visions of peace...

The price of age
ways heavily upon...
