A light born torch
In a single heart
My pen eating blue
A paper paling white
The means of all the skin
In the hear dying its ends
And eyes closing down
Make not a single sound

...so let us do
this thing of blue
travel afar
don't leave me ajar
please close me down
make not a single sound
heavenward bound

When eyes torn closed
When eyes torn closed what eyes had seen
There was no whisper in the silent net
Sealed deep below in places of spleen
Eyes torn closed what hands had set
Some sights have died died of the threat
That sights too many words have spelled
Some sights have drowned in a single fret
That they for too long in this world have dwelled
They were made of tears wind wept storms and sighs
They were made of colours blue cut through the skies
They were made of trees uprooted as to sing
The remnants of the earth of not a single thing
That heaven ward could sorrow crowns upbring

If I could see through the rains
To find a thunder heart that beats
My veins away away apart
Oh yes it would be so easy to die
Too easy to die to fall
Melt in the pools of a wet trace touch
If I could see through the rains
I believe I'd find there both life and death
In a single dropp link that unchains
My eyes my hands my breath

Things
I cannot even see
what they have become of thee
a scare's for a crow and shoes are for a show
and things there are that must go on
I cannot even hear
if things have come too near
a populated crown and a single drown
looking for a straw
I cannot even blink
for things that make me think
of what the four lettered f you think
that you are doing
I haven't got a single clue
if it's me or you
subject object or apposition

I will remember you for you’re my kiss
A thought beyond a horizon line
Grows in boiling rainbow hues
I ate of this bread and drank of this wine
To spill the rainbow onto the blues
For a single moment the sky promised me this
‘I will remember you for you’re my kiss’
As the rivers thunder right through my veins
And an aureole eagle draws the cloud wings
I learn that nothing forever remains
But I am happy heart soulfully sings
‘For a single moment the sky promised me this
I will remember you for you’re my kiss’
As autumns slip and flakes of winter freeze
Springs’ hearts leap and summers body heat
As seasons move the whole heart at ease
Harmony pulses from first to last beat
‘For a single moment the sky promised me this
I will remember you for you’re my kiss’

Splitting The Light
then I saw and we knew
a single light spark
buried unlit
a single breath mark
of a misfit
lighting a fire for two
then I heard and we tried
a single right word
shyly uttered
almost unheard
I frozen muttered
before it died
then I smelled ashes and we ran
a single step covered all dust
left the world living in a den
left each stammer rotten and rust
then there was the hand I raised
a left heart beat but the hand was right
my sunward eyes stood still amazed
at the horizons splitting the light

Single Is Fair
Single
I am single
Question of double
Does not arise.
I am single
Only single.
Single sun
Single moon
Single earth
Single air
Single sky
Sngle water
Single fire
Single soul
Single body
All are there
All are fair.
Single is single
Single is beautiful
Single is fair.

About you
about the sun I do not talk to the rays
I let them touch me I let them warm me
and I never never say a word
about the clouds I do not talk to the fogs
I let them take me I let them dress me
and I never make a single move
about the colours I do not talk to the rainbows
I let them ask me I let them paint me
and I never never give any answer
about you I never talk to anyone
I let them see the shine in my eyes
but I never give a single clue

Dislocated
An invoice of silence in a bill of time
Sometimes a second pronounced targeted holes of darts
Much as I try never to miss a single point
The whole world within might easily fall apart
Makes me a queen of arrows – a fractured disjoint

Those things all left to nameless die
My body embraced in a single stone
Touching the surface of a plunge deep sky
To die there hard faceless alone
I wish I could have gone
Merged with shadows down
Die there with you stone
Bought by precious ground
But I had to live
And with all the nameless leave

Picaro grew smaller and smaller
The hurdles grew taller and taller
Satyros tragos peeled off his skin
Piled up reality up to his chin
Now swim through the dim
Oceans of blue heart
Butterfly style make it an art

A single prayer
A hard know to learn
How things will move before they end
How curtains fall or the masks close
Whoever has staged the face
In whatever the number of degrees
In whatever the number of acts
And whatever’s been done in pauses
A single prayer may prevent
The gun hung on an act one wall
Not to shoot at the subsequent text
All embryo episodes anticipation fright
And tragic mistakes done to deus ex machina calls
How come we didn’t know
Or an ignorance faked covered the frameworks
Closest to warm blankets of white lies
Soothing pedagogical consolations
That it’s not too late
That there’s a lot to be done
To unearth this bit of earth
And make it a fertile soil
That will not flood in my doubts
Or is it just
A silent attempt not to stage fright
Before the innocent eyes
If you hear those people telling you
There is nothing to fear
Measure their belief by the repetition
The more of them they make the more likely it is
That they are scared to death
And if you hear those telling you the end is near
Make sure they don’t ask for money
In exchange for a survivor’s kit
For who knows
It might be only the first in the row
Of the end of the world ads
And you’ll still have many more to survive
A single prayer can do
All the moves of heaven and earth
Spoken on the thresholds of broken hearts
A single prayer always there is
With or without fear on your lips

If I am the dropp the morning conceived
Let me be that water oh beautiful
That comes to your lip and makes you heart speak
That leaks through its holes into the world
Where the world is but a place to be
Next to your smile and close to your hand
Hugging the edges of dawn
Hear me there say the moment will rise
To time void of flow and eyes void of tears
In memory blue at the door of paradise

A stratum thought
A stratum thought to a single mind
Bestowed below u sunshine beam
A gliding endless down the streams
Of light-there with you I dined
I could never forget the feast
The craving and the heart
Beating below again to rise
You told me I was my own queen
In a pack of cards a cardboard star
I told you I was a star never seen
By a horseman hooved to ride so far

Sub surface
Eating
Brain damaged core
Fairly unknown
Words transcend into silence
Some cut off from the hands shaking
Some cut off from the hearts breaking
Some cut off from the eyes uncried
Deeply wombed all dived
Plunge craving

A sonnet for a Valentine
Now let’s take this lie make it you and I
A single sonnet in stripes of zebra hides
That ride the waves of black and white tides
Take bits of word bullets for a love to die
In black and white you’re a Poison Walker
And from your lips some lethal potion
Ruined back in time all the devotion
Made you speechless frozen full time stalker
Still neither the days nor the nights can drink
Dangerous drops from your lips unspoken
Stains of justice against the love token
Neither the dark nor the lights can think
Fare thee well my number do not dial
I bid you farewell in an anti-chronic style

A Black Single Rose.
A single black rose.
A single black rose to carry the load,
A single black rose to turn the road,
A single black rose to touch the soul,
A single black rose to widen your hole,
A single black rose to melt your heart,
A single black rose to force a start,
A single black rose to make you cry,
A single black rose to make you dry,
A single black rose to help you climb,
A single black rose to make you lie,
A single black rose to take a life,
A single black rose to take away strife.

Single Day
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not in his thoughts
Not a single day goes by..........
Where his heart does not feel
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not want to reach out
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he dreams of his love for her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not dream of kissing her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not dream of holding her
Not a single day goes by..........
Where he does not ask. Why?
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not his first thought on waking.
Not a single day goes by..........
Where she is not his last thought before sleeping.
Not a single day goes by..........

A Single Black Rose
A single Black Rose to turn the tide
A single Black Rose to make one die
A single Black Rose to ensnare the soul
A single Black Rose to widen that hole
A single Black Rose to melt the heart
A single Black Rose to force a start
A single Black Rose to entwine the bodies
A single Black Rose to dictate the deaths of these
A single Black Rose to lie upon her breast
A single Black Rose to stop the tears from soaking his vest
A single Black Rose to mourn this memory
A single Black Rose to become a plot in this cemetery
A single Black Rose to take a life
A single Black Rose to end his strife.

How many lives to die
How many cries to hear
This street this street
Closing down on me
This bridge this bridge
River hum to hear
Get close go down
The water flows
Bend remorse to the ground
In fear it grows
Where do you truth off
Where do you truth down
The Eden roses thinning overnight?
Which speech what sound
Would you like to hear now
How many lives how many cries
Can your mirror bear?
Clairvoyant re-clair?
Presque-vue?
