The passage of sunken Time
26 February 2016
Scorching skies
Lighting up the night
Blazing warmth
Red heavens
Colours fusing in opposed
One and Contrary
Life arbitrary
Chancing upon smoke
Smoldering
Ashes strewn
Within the logs that we poke
Memories of havens
Black ravens
Announce the coals’ path
Floundering
Souls in flight
Flames licking as they quiver
Suspended visions
Revisions
Crossing out the tides
Backward seas
Stenciled hope
Carbon copy as I grope
In empty insides
The ice melts
Rivers of wonder
Heartbeats’ light
White thunder
Northern star that sets me right
As the space rock pelts
Pick pieces
Cherry on the cake
As I slice
Life’s relish
I often have the same dish
Served stale in arrears
Break the fears
We breathe in circles
Our echoes
Drums beating
The passage of sunken Time
Handing heart I mime

ooo This one’s haunting! Images fall line by line creating an exquisite collage! I especially the end–you did wrap it in an enigma:
“Break the fears
We breathe in circles
Our echoes
Drums beating
The passage of sunken Time
Handing heart I mime”

You have such a unique talent for pairing your words with imagery and music. The most outstanding substance is that I feel compelled to read each writing multiple times, and as with all good writing, each time brings a different meaning to the reader while still staying true to the author’s intent (or so I suppose!)
