Shades of Inner Blue
You are always invited into the haunted manor
Of my mind, these galleries are yours to explore--
Accost my corridor cobwebs, feel the phantasmal hospitality
Of my shadows, inquire upon my every ghost.
..........Open the doors
..........I trust you with the keys
This mansion has many rooms, some of them locked
For decades, so many niches that have shied away
From the candle's prying flame, dungeons that have hidden
My most sullen arcana chained in quiescence...
..........Exorcise me.
Throw open my creaking windows, air the apparitions
From this musty furniture, scrape the illusion
Of comfort from my faded wallpaper--
This house
.......Has been waiting
.......A lifetime
................ For you
......................... To unhaunt it

Breaking the Fall
September's precipice
. Trip on time's passage
. . Avenues become canopies weeping orange
. . . Ripe for the autumnal harvest
. . . . Transient chill
Revealed enigmas
. Another sagacious query
. . Kindred assumption--
. . . Is there more to life than this?
. . . . No one truly knows
. . . . . God's intentions
Morose skies fill the horizon
. Overtures to occidental oblivion
. . Trees relinquish their possessions
. . . Hear the forthcoming frost
. . . . Ethereal grace abounds in brown
. . . . . Reconciling warmth with bitter cold
. . . . . . For a seasonal promise
. . . . . . . Use life's cycle
. . . . . . . . Creation, existence, destruction--
. . . . . . . . . Kindling, wasted yesterdays
. . . . . . . . . . Essence sleeps, until next spring
. . . . . . . . . . . Reciprocates
