I am always working on a number of secret projects, and sometimes I like to tease them. What follows is a small sampling (2 poems) of some of the stuff I've been working on the past few months. I've been dealing with poetry lately, which is an all-new ballgame... TALLBroken beauty Rests there now, low. Such radical dreams Laid to rest so easily -- Gone. Her Majesty cries For her majesty. Engraved were the signatures Of angels, of Lords… Gone. Were any so informed? Two souls lost is the word Of the wind. Two souls Gone. Ninety away So it was said to me. I couldn’t look To affirm; comforts Gone. The demons of Earth Shook her free And so consumed her And sent innocence Gone. I swear The wind carried cries And crushed my ears, Those imaginings Gone. Mast Became mass, As birds on high Saw the gallows Gone. Amazing, this! Something so grand, Yet crushed so easy Like hearts once in love Gone. YET DROWNING STILLI must admit:
I was drowning. A ring cast out in dazzling sun, I clutched And drifted And I drifted more… Sucking at my toes Were the names of the deadened Whose woes kept me under guidance Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Lapetus, Coronus; Thea, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys. One, alone with them in their Tangential horrors! Only with them, Breath was not of readiness Nor was the ease, the soothing Brought with that ring… That ring! Merciful And full! Drifted along Was my body, limp Clutching hard, still. Still as the water Had become after such astonishing Vacuums it sent me through In a tumbling Mess The sun said She would help brighten my eyes And help me understand -- Understand what, I asked. The truth in that You are saved! Safe again. Once all cleared And I rest solid laying in heaps On the floor, drenched, hot Came a serenity… A bliss. A newfound form to break such moulds That are breakable, broken with kiss
