Poetry Blogs (contemplation)

A garden for reflection.

In the twilight iridescent globes glow,

leading one down the path,

past mosaics to the summerhouse of contemplation.

The cherry tree remembers a loved one

as its confetti drifts downwards to the ground.

A camellia showers the soil with a carpet of blooms.

The magnolia flowers elegantly in a corner.

A pair of collared doves alight the bird feeder.

A world of desperation. 

The face and the faceless. 

Indescribable yet on the tip of my tongue.

Impecability holds the key to power.

I stare out over the city on my park bench throne.

The morning hours calm my mind. 

Crows speak in their own tongue. 

I reflect on a night of dreaming. 

The number is 4.

I want to run, far far away

Where the grass is green, and the children play

Where the sun is beaming and the skies are blue

The stars dissolve as the sky swiftly falls,

Balled unto the shredded grass,

A lightened match, then a blow to the flames jaw,

Water sunk in the jeans of my last.

Cladded grief material upon my wrist,

Marks ...

I ponder the etiquette of nursing a pint

and whether some might find it impolite

if I made it last just little while longer that I

might watch the rain that crawls on the steamed windows

making broken ghosts of every passer by

each of them eager to avoid

catching the eye of the living and I wonder

which one of them broke winter’s heart such as to make it

so bitter
