Cursed Vein

Morning crawls
the worm of light
with mucus mists
seeping

Dark drama filled
valleys
and predator dreams
slink
pushpointalism
breath stinging
on flowers awaiting
the warmth
the touch
of majesty sun

take me back cracked
wall and mildewed
tub My room where I wallow
where tommorrow shall
come

feeble the crux this need
surround me like an old fur
let me sniff mermaid
skin like sheen of sequin
tell me of fathoms
and wrecks
and wretched loves
drenched

I arrive before five
when the birds sing alive
and watch traffic
like bees fluxing from the hive
the solder of it
the rush of it

and in the thicket
the hush
the dewy brush
where night
still lingers
stalked by gentle
fingers
stirring with
vivid might
the dreams
before the
break of light

not sure if its misfit or not but this mixture
this texture I work at
Some western classic lines
thrown in for good practise
and Yes I can do Hiaku and Western
I just would rather well
umm specialize
like I said before
the hundredth water lilie painting before I go blind

and for my muses
beloved as she is

our transitional tones
of woes and joys

it almost give a sense of falling into some dark place, and then at the moment of oblivian the light pulls you back up from the dark sleep. frighting aand pleasurible at the same time.
very interesting write!

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

As a child we were read from decent storytales and poems
Im looking them up now at the library
Realizing the wording and flow of them
how beautiful they are still
and in school all the way through grade twelve
enjoying reading poetry and then
out in the world picking up yard sale and library
sale books and bookstores the amazing
talents Just found the poetry section in the
library here and will dive in there sometime
Im glad you enjoyed the write
It tells me I am creating something of worth
here
