micropoetry: sunset

sky on fire
in vermilion hue
burns away the day's blue
and silhouetted against is you
beauty's magnifier

instapoem: the willow


better

when i said
it would be better
had we
never met
you replied, no
not ever
not a day
do you regret

i do not think
you understood
it is for me
it would be good

Liar

You pride yourself on honesty 
You swear you never lied
Every kiss you kissed was false
Except that kiss goodbye 

News

I still can't understand 
Can't find the disconnect 
Between us having something wondrous 
To something to be left
I have the early data
You sent me video
To show me that I made your smile 
As big as it could go
Then you became cagey
For your once beloved KG
And now my smile's disappeared 
You took it with you maybe
You want us to be friends 
And tell me that you're sorry
That you never were in love
But that I shouldn't worry 
Because I am so lovely 
You're certain that I'll find 
A newer love without you
And think you're being kind
But I am not so blind
You already have moved on
And left me far behind

true friend

scrabbling for purchase
screaming through the darkness
velocity gaining
insanity reigning
a voice answers my calls
and cushions my fall
and I land
bruised
but unbroken

privations

display of affliction
may lose me affection
but neither does deflection
reverse defection
better public introspection
than silent desperation
lacking the elation
of previous devotion 
I settle in determination 
for poetic creation

despair and hope

look at the world
try not to despair
in brighter days
we place our hope
we search for love
any which where
in stranger's smiles
try to cope
in our rage and revulsion
at acts of destruction
remember that hate
like weevils breed
and evils bleed
across borders
and colors and faiths
not resigned
but resolved
a better way
than blinded eyes
until no one left
can see
the brighter days
we hope may be

empty nest

i misconstrue
light for warmth
dazzled by the brightness
sometime blinded
by the glare
like a jackdaw
collecting shinies
building a nest
of trash and trinkets

another fall

leaves crackle underfoot
like pretty lies
dry and brittle
beautiful and broken
but they make a lovely sound
as they are stomped into oblivion
