just the ache
no pill will fix, I took two
just the ache
dishes in the sink, not many, a few
just the ache
coffee cup, full but cold, milkโs old
just the ache
unmade bed since Friday last
just the ache
the absence of touch, and of you

The moon will set ~
Long shadows of fog will clear
I memorize your face
Your lips poised so near
Streetlights will soon grow dim
To your touch I linger, drawn
Memories will still abide
When the fantasy ends at dawn

Wild ghosts they wander
in this hinterland of mist
Kiss of death, enforced
has taken them
Uneasy
lie the bones
of those buried deep within
In unconsecrated earth they fret
no peace, nor will be yet
until at last is named
the sinner and the sin
art: Victor-Surge
Heavenโs black lips part
for the dark-eyed scryer
of the mortal heart
Mother Sky speaks in Raven tongue
by the past is the future known
Clouds about the Moon
her bright lamp shows the way
opening her arms of light
till the coming of the day

How sad our Eden of tomorrow
has become a place of much sorrow
How Mother Nature has become chained by humans so inhuman
But the soil is uprising
seas are plotting
To bring balance back, theirs
In freeing #Mother
A darkness lingers
Swirling shadows
Hypnotic to watch
Irresistible temptation
The dark side is calling
My own secret #horror
Haunting my soul
Dark and bitter
It prowls my mind
Demanding release
From the ties that bind
