Lost and Found in Narnia
April 04, 20150 Comments


Fleeing the confines of the day, the mind
All loose and well worn
Becomes the wanderer forever
Under the hazel skies  
Light drapes through branches, clinging to every willothewisp curve
As though the accidental forrest dances
Right before your eyes

By the Bayeux

It begins 
Finding rhythm 
in steady
beating

stitching slowly
piercing 
swollen mesh

Pulling back
against the bone

Unfolding
 urges

 dew drips down
into your hands

yielding
surrenders

Crimson splashes
white hot streaks
shuddering violet

the pink
sighs

Coronal Mass Ejection
April 02, 20150 Comments


The early evening empties
with stillness
as the fog of the week rolls in from the sea

to the riotous gatherings

time and time 
again to the place
of a now estranged family
because it knows my bones
as the many stories 
stacked neatly on the entrance table
Flirtations once swelling
crashing into the midnight hour
with slick fingers and overarching intentions
receed back
as he escapes
to his matrimony bed

Here there is no heat 
Just wine
and a short walk back 
to familiar walls

Mindspace
April 01, 20150 Comments
It's far 
from the promised
Spacious 
Southern exposure 
Natural
Light filtering 
Through 
Blinds graciously
Left behind  

Yet this moment
In the creaking
Corners I find 
Comfort
Settling
For now
And call it home
