Love
Defined
Love
thy face a shapeless flame,
A
wonderful nothing it claimed
Did
I see, as sensation set itself?
Free. Love steadily gone, a
Choir
of seraphs did I hear, as love
Spent
within my sphere.

Limiting Time
Survival, panorama, prospect, quality of life’s
environment, genetics and promises that reveal nothing, the past descends like
rain from the sky, washing away all dreams.
Ghost of youth chanting within the soul, paths blocked;
evil has spread across the landscape of a lifetime.
Loneliness, love and happiness; limits, boundaries
slow down the process of the future.
Nevertheless, the future may be shrouded with
abundant solitude from where there is no escape.

Crimson Fields…
In a fields of red poppies caressed by a summer
breeze
surrendering to twilight.
A union created by Mother Nature is quickly
blending dark and daylight.
Among the crimson meadow of blossoms
stands an old man watching the sun as its
golden orb begins to
hide behind a tawny sea.
Art brushes, paints and canvas in hand he follows
a narrow trail to his boat anchored at waters edge,
his story now woven in color about life, as he believed
it should be –
Peaceful
Contented

The future and its viewless things,
That undiscovered mystery. Will
We feel death’s lifeless wings.
No one wants these ending things,
If so, it would be a lie. I hide behind
Curtained windows to keep the
World from seeing my dying eyes.
My face bathed in the dew of morn,
Before me the snowy landscape
Spreads. This is the world in which
I was born, the world which will be
Gone from me when I am dead.
Sick of this wasted body, the mortal
Strife, the pain of taking a breath.
Now sorrow is the course of my life,
My soul combats with death.
I pray for calmness within me, please
Let it grow, before my wilted spirit
must
Go.
Life is beginning to be all too clear,
I am not afraid, for soon I will be
gone
From here.
