Infused with tones, hues
Serene, sublime, the path fools
Predator hides, waits

Within fresh green, gold
Hidden by nature, beauty, bold
He captures, sedates

Beyond garden’s edge
Shadowed and dewy, the ledge
Where remains her fate

Pay attention

 

Swallow it down
turn him ON
Bright!

Cast out the shadows
the dark, dank
Blight

Flip it
Switch it
Illuminate the night

I AM incandescent
Join my brilliance
Join my fight

Let’s consume the darkness
Absolve others
Eat, breathe light

Cast out demons, open hearts,
bask in warmth
For all the right

Reasons

Until     darkness
Comes     again
Hungry

 

Caught in the smoke
ring eddy of blues
and lust

Neon shines
through dust
in the lonely hours

Proof, high, twice
too many whiskey sours
nightmares, dreams

Secrets, illusions
Life’s as it seems
when filled-crack edifice falls

Wasted stories
within these walls
milky dew lost to the night

So much left
despite the blight
and drought of true connection

 
I consume the hearts I win
You collect them
break them
sin

 

I feed hunger, needs within
You’re just trifling
squelching
din

 

Neither one of us pretends,
Feigns regret,
lets love
come in

 

Perhaps we make up yang and yin
Both content
with veil
so thin

 

of humanity

Formed
of
 dissonance,
their lofty,
soft appearance
does deceive

For in the eyewall
past the core,
winds ~
fierce velocity
achieve

On occasion,
The well-grounded
get a sense
of the discord

But another’s forecast
cannot calm
storm brewing
untoward
