Tears

Tears taste bitter as the moonlight shimmers

Flashes of false hope reminisce of November

Past tense spoken in present presenting recollection of disaster

Flirting with pride and kissing the hands of the master

Puppet strings misguided self-esteem

If only my life were as in my dreams

Origami

Origami
Folds bends breaks takes
Life folds knife take
Beauty
Complex
Complexion
Reflection
Deafening deflection
Succumbing to lessons
Life bends we take
We fold we break
Swimming swans sirrcle
Paper planes
Soar
Crash
Hear a roar
Reality a bore
Boars rectangular
Shoulders angular
Frame flat space obtuse
Square footloose
Finger bleeds
Paper died
While at the same time alive

A Silent Heart Beats

Hands loose grip
Loyalty in question
Waters rush the brim of the storm wall
Nervous laugher filled with uncertainty
An uncertain me standing against nothing at all
Enemy is eluding me until I see a reflection
Mirrored stranger unkempt hair, neglection
Arguments and shouts shatter windows of fragile eyes
Fragile lies leave fragments of feelings at her feet
Swimming in a puddle of tears
A silent heart beats

Autumn the Birth Child of October
