A Stormy Sea


A constantly stormy sea—
beset by clouds of
varying darkness of degree

Interminably, an obsidian tide
rushes forth, with it’s blinding
waves of rippling course

After our clouds have grown clear, 
skyline’s tempest shifts to a scene,
where celestial rays inch their way,
out from beneath the shadow shroud

Once completely free from darks and grays,
a final splash of powder blue,
forever alters the color wheels pointed view,

But beneath the freshest of these coats serene,
a blush-stroked canvas often frays,
opening wounds that once were made—
and no longer can our painted cicatrices forever stall
the untethering of bruises buried deep

Curtain Call


Steady is the valance
Wrinkled are the drapes
The blind abstracts focus
As the outside retracts its call

Enclosed 
Until curtains draw
 A stated shade
Reflects it all

Beyond the tint of shadows
Between the aged frame
There lays a pane
Tempered and alone

Steady is the valance
Glue above a fabric
Aching for repeal

Only as the light reenters vision
Will the settled dust reveal
