Wherever

I walk to the hiss

Of nighttime

And ravens

I find bloodied safe havens

The riddles galore

 

December

It creeps into Heart

Ice and rock

Like playgrounds

Fitted with the snowbound ears

Readied coals’ embers

 

I colour

The dreams of the lost

Cast souls’ mast

Wild banners

My fingers know not the cost

Of lilies and smears

 

The white flag

Hovering like breath

Under tears

Play do me

Child clay a pool of dark fears

My music a sin

 

Wave the wand

Glory disappears

Magic wanes

Sugar melts

Truth around us how it pelts

Hail to story’s spin

 

Stir the pot

We cook what we dream

Stew and Heart

Spices art

Of broth and the melting meet

Pieces of our selves

 

Eleven

Moons in the wings’ folds

Seven skies

Greet my sighs

We sever what we know not

The winding footsteps

When you and I sleep

When you and I sleep

I lost you in dark

Confusion reigned everywhere

As all lights went out

 

Your hand reached silent

Through walls that surrounded me

And lo set me free!

 

We flew like angels

Wings redeemed glorious light

Warming our wane hearts

 

Night silent aided

Memories flew to heartbeat

In stillness we spoke

 

I listened to drum

In between chest and soft throats

Where your life quivered

 

Making of dreamtime

Called to mind wand of magic

Our waves were stronger

 

When you and I sleep

Time folds on itself slumber

So deep is our bond
