1. RISING

Arise ...

Embers
Of a moment

Long since passed
Its ashes
Spread an obsequy
Of the spring ...
Forsaken ;
Insignia of the fallen
Tainted,

Her wraith possesses ;
Desecrates

The wringing hands,

They resist him.

The wringing hands

A soft pierce
Vermillion,

Slowly ...
They will see.

A weary dream,
They will weep

A ... A rapture


2. STABAT MATER

Grey,

Delusions
Fall and scatter

Azure streams of
Veiled
Sacred words

Both of these shall be ...

Of soot and lilac

Its vacancy
Passes through

The truth permeates

Stem cut at the source ;

Yearns to leave us

An unknown imprint of

Divine

Eyes of the spector

The ripple tears the crest of
A white feather seam


3. MY LIGHT

... Born from a wish

It beckons ...
An emanation

Memories discarded ...
The petals wilted

A year for every snowflake,
A greying
Resonation
To reveal

The path since abandoned ...
The blush of cobalt

Brittle-fibers-fray-on
Winter-everlasting ...

Stretches of the time envelope ;

A vigil to the lethe
A vigil to the light
A vigil ... Chosen plight

A ... A spark
To the light
To the infinite ...
I reach
I hope

My ... Light


4. RHAPSODY

Red morning skies
Tiny eyes glare a dream devoured
Glass butterfly
A stillness clutches
An impermanence ...

Burning fields shimmer
This bitter snow falls softly

Burning fields shimmer
This bitter snow falls softly

Figures of decadence
Eclipse the solace
Of our fragments

Labyrinthine
The sound of waterfalls crash
Far and too near
An abyss reflects
The uncertainty

Consecration to ...
Barren ...
Contemptuous
Of the ether ...
Renew ...
Contemptuous
Of the ether ...

Look to
The sky !


5. LAST POEM

Lustrous awe
Cradle me

Woe befall
The falsifier

The sights rued
To fall
And scatter
Like the leaves

A shadow
A bond

Reach
Comes to grips
It slips
Comes to grips
It slips

Settled on the wall
Between the ash

Nothing said ...

Into the past

A two way mirror

Each utter

Into the past


6. GLORY

Reborn from ...
Indigo stalks embellish
Fields of promise
The shores of
Eternity
Wonder
Reborn from ...
Indigo stalks embellish
Fields of promise
The shores of
Eternity
Wonder
The eventuality of time without end

Faces bereft of the stain ...
Returned to the purest blessing
A promise unbound ...
The cleft of falsehoods engulfed ; aglow
Endeavor ; the fragility remains
Illumination
A breath resonates within
Tumbling veils of yesterday desert us

A sea of memories ...
A tempest of the existence ...
It led me to your GLORY
... Thy light extinguished ; let
... Let me not betray you
... Thy light extinguished ;
Let me not betray you
Let me be true
Let me ... Let me be true
