Prose3

Periodically the muse does her siren thrall 

Reminding me I must heed the writer's call

Open up a vein and bleed out upon the wall 

Salacious or comforting, sitcoms or novels great and small

Eventually must be written if I'm to sleep at all.

Summer

The leaves have fallen

The clouds have snowed

But to your bright smile,

Love, I must abode

The flowers have sprung

The children have played

But in your warm embrace,

Love, I never swayed

The sun is out now

The heat is rising

But the fact that I'm with you,

Love, it shouldn't be surprising

Happy Summer, Besimyr.

EXTRAORDINARY

"How," she asks,

"am I to return to the ordinary,

when the taste of extraordinary

still rests upon my lips?"

Burning On

Life

So treasured and valued

Yet so quickly gone

How can it be

That our everything

Ends to nothing

I refuse to believe

That when my time comes

I will just leave this place

Like a passing storm

I will not allow

My footsteps on the sand

To be washed away

And replaced the next day

No

You will remember me

I will carve

Through your heart

Like a river

Running to the sea

I will dot

Your soul

Like a brand new snowfall

Covering a cavern hole

I will burn my image

Across your eyes

Like a star

In the dark night sky

I will take your breath

With the words I write

As my pages of ink

Stay forever in your life

One day

My time will be done

As my body grows

As cold as stone

But the memories of my life

Will never die

As they burn on through

And spread the fire

Of my life

Flower Poem

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

I prefer daisies.

With a yellowish hue.

Roses

roses are red from

careless fingers

trying to prove worth.

no matter how blue

the sky pretends to be,

blood is the shade

of true intentions.
