The one we love, maimed–
incident of karmic fate
or the heart in flames?

salome II
Play of light on void,
shimmering veils seduce Fate–
weight of woman scorned.

sad girl
Heaven-rent pillow,
to have, to hold, to protect–
Fall wind blowing cold.

Misty wandering,
the lonely monk meets a tree–
bowing, they shed tears.

The face you don’t see,
marred by Love’s forfeit and cease–
She was the one, once.

rose is a rose
Enfolding vortex,
chambers of rose burial–
to die claiming love.

verses raised from a cauldron–
the rebirth of cool.

Consort of angels,
intimacies unfettered–

Salome’s veiled dance,
buoyed by hidden intent–
par for the last course.

Rumple

rainy mission
Street rumpled and wet,
heartsick man stranded in bed–
Blue Monday spread thick.
