99 beautiful moments: a study

sixty three

silence followed me
until I befriended it

only then did I hear it sing

99 beautiful moments: a study

sixty two

my heart is a small vessel
and it takes on the mighty
sea with only the wind behind it
embedded in it's waves
navigating by starlight
it knows which way
is north
fills it's sails with the breath
of angels in its search
for a distant sure

99 beautiful moments: a study

sixty one

delicate in it's design
grief softly signals changes
giving weight to what passes
so i will feel it lift
and left behind

99 beautiful moments: a study

sixty

tracing the night sky
with techology

mavelling at how
little we
know

99 beautiful moments: a study

fifty nine

skins grow elastic
ballooning with each breath
until my very essence fits
inside you
and though I think
I'm floating
I actually drift
across your face

99 beautiful moments: a study

by way of explanation


We forgive because love leaves us no option

because the sky cannot hold the weather

accountable for last years rains

while the sun still shines

I will make haste to dry tears

and shelter when the clouds billow and blow

99 beautiful moments: a study

fifty six 

on departing the archipeligo, i invert reality.
as  greens will be awash in reds
the bustle becoming silence
the horizons gushing outwards
until they explode into distance
and the stars reappear 

99 beautiful moments; a study

My heart is every shade of a single hue. The horizon leaps into me. Endlessly layered upon itself. I try to extract myself from it, to draw a line around my form, yet I find myself inesca pable as the foreground leaks into my skin.
