Birdsong's Violent Cheer
As the sun's warmth vanishes with a wave,
moonlight throws hard light from dark cold features,
feathers wrap songs in tomorrow's promise;
whispered in between pools of nature's sigh.
I tuck myself into gray dimensions,
neatly folded spiritualism
splashes dreams of wild coloured emptiness.
Shadows stalk remembrance across love's sheets
while silence lingers behind open frowns,
there's a whirlwind's ghostly presence hidden
within the tears that slip down flowered cheeks.
Cruel distance mocks a wide-eyed solitude
as tombs of poetry creak pastel thoughts,
here in the vast bed's creased invitation.
Sleep's a chronic nightmare in fluttered wings,
it waits in oceans of intuition
as harmonic fear of loneliness weeps
for impressions; artistically strung.
The dawn's a thousand twists and turns away,
it holds daggers of birdsong's violent cheer,
and I expose this heart for the taut chords.
