Angel Hair

Flutter away m'dear, away into the flowers melt,
shy kisses enthral the senses but we lost ourselves
in the painted halls, in every frame a new life hanging
on the tips of wild tongues

Upon southerly winds walking together, soldiers'
faces in a peckish hue,
the drums beat a constant tune as ten-thousand feet
crack like thunder,
Be still my heart! She swallowed them all -
into the sinking sands, where diamonds come to life
and golden treasures are spun and gods fear to dwell
all of my comrades gone, withered away in angels hair

Still, still the porcelain stare
like love's last breathe on the mountain's pair
afloat on a river of blood
the ashes flair, flared
upon a whim and a dare
the changing days they
come hither to bear
taking the silence, and
evenings last glare.

Corridors

Bright eyes where have you been?

I lost you in my glasses tint

Along glittering shades of sunlight she danced

In the cobblestone cracker homesteads we met

Long ago when the winter moss was green

Like an oceans kiss

I saw you in the shadows kept

And the pinhole cushion mountains

Where giants fear to tread

Enshrouded in the clouds so blue

Dancing just on the corner of the eyes

Where we will not look into

Like a window to the soul

And so we chase all the empty spaces

Footsteps a crescendo on a circle well worn

Never really looking for the end

In the tiny quiet moments our minds spin like a top

Looking for the way out

On the edge of a mirror.
