The Last Fragments Of A Somber Clarity

Tiptoe 

 

around      the          vanishing       lilly        pads 

silky 

                   rivers 

                                  to 

                                                bathe

                                 your

             morning

 breath 

in

and a sea of white oak                           to                      hang your nightgown on. 

The morning flame dances around black flowers

sunlight flickering on our eyelids have gotten us sour. 

Confessions

 in the most

 faithful 

manner 

             

          a gentle wind to embrace our                             

                                                                  t  h  o  u  g  h  t  l  e  s  s  n  e  s  s

stumbling over the rocky edges with dirty knees. 

                                  

                    

                        The

           

                              morning

                                          dew 

                                                comes 

                                                         only 

                                                                 in

 

                                                                      b i t t e r s w e e t 

       

                                                                                                    taste

                                                                                       apologies all strung up on

                                                                                        branches bring cold shakes. 

Falling                      along              with              a            lotus            angel 

one that guides me through the milky verdure

and satisfies my every need.

Ha! NCIS theme! XD Very good work!

[Eloha]

I usually don't like that sort of formating, but I'll make a huge exception to this one! It's magnificent.

[MOON]

Lovely , great formatting dances on the page deep sometimes dark and the end uplifting.

[Dove]

This is a very nice poem and it goes deep too. This piece was beautifully written, just like all of your other pieces.

The way you set it up gave it a nice pace, the free flow made it all the more unique...beautifully done! I imagined myself hanging up my nightgown as I roamed along to your words.
