The painter and the poet
*~.Winter's Kiss.~*
These Spiders Cluck Like Chickens
Table for Two
...frozen butterfly requiem dreams


the question unasked waits for a voice
to release it from the caged mind
fear of truth penetrates
like a barbed thorn of doubt
embedded in the psyche
remove it with rusted tweezers
taking the risk of being killed
by the spread of infection

...or be paralyzed by it


the song yet written waits for a melody
yearning release through supple notes
dread of doubt perpetuates
like a jewelled dagger of truth
encased in the bloodstream
pushing further with hollowed palms
risking death to find a meaning
within these winds of direction

...or be blown away by them



........................................+.....+.......... ..............................




I used to fly to the highest heights
lifted by words whispered on breezes
I looked into the dream of tomorrow
and gazed upon delicate stars of wishes
I thought were real


above the muted mists lay constellations
that rise with every lingering breath
looking down on yesterday's wonders
that stare through the fragility of veil
towards a horizon surreal


contented I drifted there in that bliss
oblivious to the storm clouds rolling in
I didn't hear the thunder laughing at me
deaf and blind by words
I was the perfect target
for the killing bolt


serenity shatters as the lightning lingers
shrouds of purple vision trusts betrayed
and I couldn't see the blackened clouds
blind and deaf by thoughts
I made a perfect arrow
for your lethal bow


odd how it gets so quiet before a storm
heartbeat reverberating in the chest
everything so serene and quiet, peaceful
it's hard to see that first one coming


strange it seems after the rain has fallen
blood flows throbbing within the veins
nothing is calm nor is the heart at rest
it's hard to face the end of your coming


ripping through your misconcieved perceptions
showing you the stones upon the path
that look like a schitzophrenic hopscotch board
that loops back upon itself


mirrored mazes would be less decieving
opening corridors to the ways between
hard to see in hallucinogenic games of chess
the moves cycle seemingly without reason




........................................+.....+.......... ..............................




singing the song
that will move me evermore
discarding the riddle inside
without fear of dissapointing
trusting in the whispers that echo
in a whirlwind of flow that sweep butterfly wings
to a display of colored complexity
that will highlight the shadow

...be the relief for the burning scar


speaking the query
that will open the door
setting need for truth
over fear of disappointment
hoping that in that one response
the answer will unfold like dragonfly wings
with stained glass magic
will move across the soul

...be the salve for the open wound
