Poetry
A Dream of Spring
when on the heights, a promise warm / sleeps in silence ‘neath the cold
A Lady in the Dragon's Court
To be a lady in the dragon's court / You must be a lady and a dragon both
A Traditional Love Poem
Violets are blue / as the hue of your eyes, / like pieces of Heaven / come down from the skies
at my back I always hear
bound by spheres of glass // as the songbirds sing // they growing ever younger
Billows over Black Forest
Clouds billow behind my house / Tears spill instead of rain
Ember
from the bright'ning byres of flaming rebirth / from phoenix fires and death unsung / ring in the day the earth will rue
Fiction Writer Therapy
A flaming torch to manuscript / As lovely as a rose
Five Reasons I Love You
There are five reasons I love you / (And none of them are the ones you want to hear)
Flight of a Wild Mare
You’re riding me hard, and I’m put away wet. / My soul like His cloak is a gamble, a bet.
He is Fire; He is Pain
fire aches beneath his skin / pain has scarred him for his sin
History Lesson on the Night Train
she was old, her lines were tired, but her eyes were bright— / to ask what it is, this marking down of history / like stainless steel tines pressed down into meat
How We Write Poetry
Answer, turn and answer / Then turn the stone again
litterae
dead words upon a page / concatenated ink / don't call it litterae
mirror, mirror
mirror, mirror that reflects / in the glass you see your face / mirror, mirror, show my dreams / your body moves with studied grace
Missed You
Missed me? Kiss me. / Oh, we'll be here a while.
Normal written in coffee grounds
The way you leaned over the bar / foaming milk, whipped and creamed / eyes intense, and called me barista
Ode to Disproportionate Spam
To all my friendly spammers, / with such nice words to say, / I don't know why you like that post
Poetry is Spilling Blood
Peeling back the icy skin / We wrap like armor around our hearts
Portrait of the Scribbler
the kind who always has your back / but forgets to cut you slack; / the kind who wishes harder than / she works, but yet still works
Queen of Heaven
The Queen of Heaven should not care / When lost were all the reeling stars / The Queen of Heaven tossed her hair / Retorted, "Don't you know what's ours"
Shards of Heart
Shards of heart make life as glass / Where once it flowed
some mirrors / the dreamer learns
are the blades the reaver reaves of heaven / are the dream the seeking seekers dreaming
The Darkness Cleave
Who from blood can a butterfly make; / Who can heal and make it take?
The Fairy Dance
No hint of storm disturbs / The fairies at their dance
The Perfect Woman
This will not do! For what I am / Is woman, not a female man.
The Un-Study
Knowledge solid, fluid (is) / Unlearning ev'rything.
The Unmaking
Whirled 'round, making and unmaking / Raze, raze heaven 'til it gleams
The Wings in Me
I want to run from this spell you weave, / But I've forgotten how to leave.
watch me dream
and time shall be hereafter / writ in heart our souls' provisions / wound, unwound by dreamers sifting
When the Coffee Does Not Work, Drink More Tea
When the coffee doesn't work, drink more tea. / If you don't drink coffee, then drink more tea.
Where Winter Keeps
Her heart her every tear it shed / Their glitter burned in him instead
With You, Singing (a lullaby)
I'll be close, never say goodbye / Dreaming's sweet, just a pretty lie
