Last Nights

Raucous wails jostles the air,
Shudders run down the spine,
And the nearby premonitories
Barring a welcome horizon.
Though, huddled next the open fire,
Thralled by the ballet of dainty flames,
The spirit is beaming, laughing at the
Temptations that cloud vision and alertness.

The delectable unfaltering Evening Star
Holds a vigil while this seasoned body
Is bathing in the silvery waters of the
Moon.

Long before the Empress of the Sky
Summons its congregation to rebirth,
Wisdom's lonesome and ever doling
Child reigns over its fertile orchard
That buds into opulence between
Dusk and dawn.

White Blossom

Image
White blossom seated in a wreath of gnarled fingers; a prim lodestone harangued by the glaring moans which in haunting waves run off from parched thirsty mouths. Their predatory desire brewed from acrid pain skews her lofty aspirations and turns her ringing laughter to an idol of shame. To wistful humility devoted, she withers and bloats til all her unshed sweet tears are collected in a cuirass glossed with the colours of her hawkish suitors: burning ardour and the scorn of the immature.
