insomnia

i talk to the stars
it is an open secret
my insomnia

bewitched by the moon
surreal destinations
sleep walked distances ..

' fraught '/ HB - 11


sliver by sliver
the light is diminishing
i face the darkness

a silvern halo
illuminating the night
sliver by sliver

gold

always a reason
baking a golden brown bread
for any season

a cup of hot tea
ginger bread and marmalade
and her dear granny ..

' seductive ' / HB - 10


nothing is spoken
eyes hold the constellations
i watch the star bursts

i imagine things
dark tresses cloud everything
it is the monsoon ..

single

something about love
they never fall out of it
watch an albatross

how many heavens
how many constellations
nothing like the earth

' breath ' / HB- 9

civilization
a season of history
when the ruins breathe

tread very softly
over buried memories
the snow is melting ..

[ Ed : -
HB- 9 / Line 3 - the ruins can breathe ]

blowing the curve

keep blowing the curve
unwilling to understand
that love is finite

what is a high score
and what is not a high score
all i know is love ..

' uncanny ' / HB- 8

do you love your dog
look at the wag of the tail
it says i love you

what really matters
what is living and dying
i thought i knew it ..
