so cursed are the ears
thus commanded to listen
pain of the ages

12/30/12

the mother cries out
angel of death where art thou
pain unforgiving 

12/29/12

painful mutterings
whimpering most sorrowful
discourse of mortals

12/29/12

midnight screams of pain
shatter all tranquility
mom breaking my heart

12/28/12

feed clean potty train

the glories of motherhood

now revisited

12/28/12

'tis not my granny
the mother of my mother
i have given birth

12/28/12

crying drinking sleep
i fear i would never stop
my world in must-nots

12/28/12

a ration of sleep
the sleepless days sleepless nights
walking in my sleep

12/27/12

spectacle awaits
my inner crowd has gathered
hangman running loose

12/27/12

what are you thinking
oh gods of millennia
pray let the dame rest

12/27/12

escape from today
may i visit yesterday
strength for tomorrow

12/27/12

stories of childhood
make unimaginable
today's memories lost

12/27/12

biding the hours
memories of sorrow linger
ah no antidote

12/27/12

awaiting her cries
catnapping and sleepless nights
angst aggregated

12/26/12

lurid thoughts of play
escape from captivity
creeping 'round my brain

12/24/12

night the enemy
restless spirits wandering
woe is me no peace

12/23/12

my mother cum child
renders me mother cum crone
wisdom masking doubt

12/21/12

the mayans promised
today's the end of the world
as we know it just

12/21/12

first day of winter
era ends era begins
life's reinvention

12/15/12

mountains blanketed
the clouds taking their leisure
calm before the storm

12/14/12

thin blanket of mist
shrouds the body of my angst
pray let in the light

12/12/12

trumpets sound thrice twelve
day of mayan alchemy
calendar ending 

12/11/12

whoosh down the chimney
north wind coming out to play
ashes everywhere

12/10/12

down memory lane
my remembrances and i
walking hand in hand

12/10/12

standing all alone
bearing the cold wind and snow
brave little snowman

12/09/12

a dusting of snow
let festivities begin
gingerbread men dance

12/08/12

hark the door knocker
winter's late to the party
comes bearing light snow

12/07/12

poppy studded fields
dotted red amongst the green
sophic dreams in bloom

12/07/12

pooling mossy swamp
river playmates beckoning
wading cypress play

12/07/12

ingredients prepped
cauldron hanging on the fire
potions for hire

12/07/12

father where are you
i weep rivers oceans streams
so great is my grief

trees at river's edge
mother's soldiers at ready
sentinels on watch

12/05/12

river's running dry
no rain no snow woe are we
where are mother's tears

12/05/12

pine trees at road side
in happy expectation
waiting adornment

12/02/12

chicks come home to roost
fresh straw good fodder water
mama hen in charge

12/01/12

alone with my thoughts
sitting by an open fire
of this dreams are made

11/29/12

hanging upside down
'tis said she flies anyway
lady bumblebee 

bright eyed mr sun
creeping into consciousness
begs me come and play

11/29/12

autumn's turning leaves
orange yellow golden brown
all the green misplaced

11/29/12

solitary crane
less nine hundred ninety nine
missing the thousand

11/29/12

hanging in the sun
frozen drops on limb and line
drying disappear

11/29/12

naked heads emerge
amongst dawn's frosty grasses
soldiers disarrayed

11/29/12

goddess spiral rests
tiny shell on pine cone bed
earth and sea unite

11/29/12

mountain peaks jut through
misty waves of fog roll in
dormant fears awake

11/28/12

ghosts of yesteryear
wend their way through memory lane
seeking passage home

11/28/12

sunny gilt edged clouds
painted by the artist's hand
god by other names

11/28/12

the pink horizon
a sky full of lady's lace
rests on memory's breast

11/27/12

energy laid waste
the vampyres feasting large
bats from my own hell

11/24/12

confronted by age
'tis the end of time i fear
eras and eons 

11/23/12

pumpkins on porches
inky nights all hallows eve
awaiting children

11/23/12

twigs and seeds and leaves
musty scents dance through my thoughts
nature's potpourri 

11/22/12

a mist on the lake
mirrors obscure horizon
a study in grey

11/22/12

stripped limbs up reaching
interspersing purple skies
mystery happening

11/22/12

raindrops board leaf barks
twist and turn down quiet stream
destination end

11/22/12

serenity pools
water frothing over rock
river running wild

11/22/12

grasses tinged in frost
remembering yesteryear
broadcast future seed

11/22/12

myst weaving magic
through golden aspens quaking
burnished dreams in smoke

11/22/12

green in all its hues
space shared on mother's palette
meet at brighid's well

11/22/12

sun peeks through willows
casting shadows on water
dark mysteries shimmer

11/22/12

masked for yuletide ball
lord of winter bids adieu
spewing snow's last breath

11/22/12

a gift mi lady
your night sphere shines brighter
a rose made of stars

11/21/12

leaves on wing of wind

flying swirling twirling

wending way to winter

11/20/12

a new day dawning
ever in the bosom hope
human condition

11/19/12

heart's grief relents not
have pity be merciful
surrender lingers

        

11/19/12

bury your dead
prithee let me bury mine
heavy is the load

11/18/12

wings clipped hair shorn weak
courage for barter for hire
succor me oh lord

11/17/12

prithee abide me
such is my adoration
i am sated hek

11/16/12

lady hekate
so great is thy majesty
dare i call on thee

11/15/12

my lifeboat lies wrecked
this pathetic maelstrom
helmsman found wanting

11/15/12

the gentle breeze
wafts the scent of your perfume
memories in my heart

11/14/12

hazy thoughts ramble
the avenues of my mind
clarity awaits

11/14/12

cricket on the hearth
stems the lies i tell myself
noses for burning

11/13/12

brooks streams rivers seas
is there water sufficient
for the world's heartbreak

11/13/12

my tears betray me
babbling brook bears away
sorrow in ashes

11/13/12

the time trickles by
ancient adage new refrain
'til i touch your face

11/13/12

prithee fyre goddess
turn your face from the wildwood
pray stay your hand

11/12/12

wood and kindling burn
warming hands body and soul
the flame on my hearth

11/12/12

manning the bonfire
chimney sweep a different sort
sparks becoming stars

11/12/12

the green man appears
stark in his winter beauty
pray i bid him stay

11/11/12

a delicious day
two sweet friends one old one new
a delight to the senses

11/10/12

ponder the orchid
empress of the bordello
rare in her allure

11/10/12

mother lush your green
how forfeit you its verdant
doth winter seduce

11/10/12

a raindrop on glass
suspense of expectation
prism casting light

11/10/12

from behind grey haze
should sun decide to peek his head
'twould be kiss of grace

11/10/12

butterflies of spring
in memory if not in deed
gently kiss my cheek

11/10/12

sweeps dreary my soul
the melanoid ink of winter
pray bring back the light

11/10/12

tears water and sleet
snow a spread that does not warm
proxy for my soul

11/10/12

fog melds with valley
snowflakes hurled fiercely to earth
angels mend their quarrel

11/09/12

smoke wafting gently
phantasy mere chimera
the embers abate

11/09/12

roadkill at ready
body of my dreams succumbs
vultures lay in wait

11/09/12

divine plans for me
lay waste to my dreams oh lord
so much for free will

11/09/12

masterpiece in sand
wind wreaks its destruction
gale the hand of death

11/09/12

the camera sees
the rose blossom fade and wilt
death in slow motion

11/09/12

plucking the daisy
he loves me he loves me not
future in petals

11/09/12

the road twists and turns
my life explodes around me
a righteous mine field

11/08/12

walking on the waves
of my very troubled soul
i need peace be still

11/07/12

anxiety angst
distraught the street where i live
death the only rest

11/07/12

furrows of my soul
lie fallow languish decay
excuses abound

11/07/12

the devil's gone rogue
in the shadows of desire
virtue lies suspect

11/07/12

during the onslaught
of despondency laid raw
fealty withstands

11/07/12

finding joy at last
in the lull of my sorrow
grain of mustard seed

11/07/12

lurking round the bend
in the quiet of my mind
rests faith long time dead

11/07/12

a new day dawning
disappointment fades away
hope springs eternal

11/06/12

uninformed choices
alas govern our peoples
'tis the death of hope

11/06/12

prithee bless me queen
i await on bended knee
for great is my need

11/06/12

hek was it a test
did i pass your scrutiny
look on me gently

11/06/12

a fire on the hearth
warms the cockles of my soul
'tis love i'm wanting

11/06/12

water earth wind fire
where is spirit great mother
in my hour of need

11/06/12

i await the sun

dreary are the days of cold

mea culpa god

11/06/12

must i climb mountains

the plains the desert so fair

'tis it lessons learned

11/05/12

my wings are clipped broken
often dealt the mother blow
i'll stand up as reared

11/05/12

mother waits message   
missive on tequila wings
guilt placates in short
     

11/05/12

sadie's geese on wing
message from her heart
magick in the air

11/05/12

golden aspens quake
father and son by the flames
little girl looks on      

11/04/12

the literato greats
in the dark nights of my soul
visit my dreams

11/04/12

snow crusted mountains
give rise to winter's welcome
alas it must come

11/04/12

raindrops dissipate
snowflakes that won't coalesce
my thoughts wind scattered

10/29/12

a mother lies down
both matriarchs hand in hand
the daughter stands up

10/29/12

climbing the mountain
realization sets in 
'tis my own opus

10/29/12

keening in despair
captive of my own regrets
self-made albatross

10/28/12

midnight striking twelve
sins but no expiation
holding sleep at bay

10/27/12

a princess a kiss
'twould rather be a froggy
hunkered down in mud

10/27/12

oh shackle my fears
prithee let courage abound
else i die today

10/27/12

a circle of friends
intuitive minds in sync
coven of witches

10/27/12

a midnight haunting
salutations to the dead
witches flying o're

10/27/12

blues wane joy waxes
lunar lady hear my plea
a respite from tears

10/26/12

umbilical binds
the fear waxes in my gut
i am astonished

10/25/12

lace curtain of snow 
first light breaks trolling for truth
fragile separation

10/24/12

whitecaps at a froth
the aquatic graves await
to give birth to angst

10/24/12

quagmire of the soul
devours my heart's desire
shaming its sorrow

10/24/12

charcoaled ebony
lashing tongues of yesteryear
fire's greeting card

10/23/12

second harvest fields
reticent corn goddesses
await plenty

10/23/12

dueling sun and moon
lovers' tiff unabated
long for earth's eclipse

10/23/12

winter halts hooded
sharpened sickle at ready
soul's garden trembles

10/23/12

easel poised ready
autumn's palette dripping hues
gaia's last hurrah

10/22/12

phantom light shines in
in through winter's window panes
spring reigns nostalgic

10/22/12

dark backfriend winter
erodes furrows of my soul
faith hails spring awakes

10/21/12

fields of longing
petals fall from daisy chains
death to fantasy

10/21/12

melodies on air
remnants of memories past
a heart's amnesia 

10/21/12

earthen jars of ash
seek license from love's restraint
wind the vehicle

10/20/12

my tears on parched earth
rain falling on arid ground
thirst ever unquenched

10/20/12

longing for the calm
of the silent winter snow
my soul cannot still
