Sweeter dreams
liquid laced
sun sparkles upon leaves
billowing in falls air
untouched
gazing through
the once washed panes
dreams edge fade
upon stark realties
lovers lost
a betrayal
Suns warmth regresses to frost
Stare upon the vacant white screen
Feeling naught
As I sip
Unconcerned
Laugher through fingers slip
Dialling for relief
Cost delinquent
Assumed for further ignorance
Fighting fair
Sours all
Gladiators feast
To the victor
The spoils
Wasted dirt
Unscented soil
Leaves a barren ground
Haunted with ghosts that may have been
But intense passions flare
Drawing blood
The kiss of death
Falls upon the deity of faith
Can the fragrance of disintegration
lure the humming bird to dance again
with age upon the leaves
betrayal withers the scent
once so sweet
feeding freedom
assurance
life may be sweet

"the hummingbird to dance..."
life in its limbo bowing
the humility pulse
in a wavelengths desire
watching life roll like waves
in a flags unfurling crested
on its pillars and post
unrelentless the push of
life
survival
with its beats
its scars marked deep
like rivers
and valleys
the open
wind
in its spaces
like a breath
a pause
a sigh
live on
