Of Arduous Grey

Of Arduous Grey,

These

Bleary mornings-

Creature caged

Beast

With gentle eyes-

This is Love

Childlike

Within the Heathen

Hugging rabbits

Sautéing onions

And black beans

Then

Weeping

In the garden

Alive

With the brilliance

Of Rain

Plumes of acrid smoke

Swirling in Dawn

This Life-

One long, laborious

Over-dose

A Passionate Poetic Post

This is Sir’s first post featuring his own photography. He went on his very first photoshoot, with a group of other local photographers, this past weekend, and captured this wonderful passionflower, and was inspired to write a wee poem to go along with it. Cheers, thank you for dripping by,

Autumn Jade

to sire with love

Floral starfish

Purple petals radically radially burst as an

Outstretched sprawling hand.

Craggy man at Dawn-

Only tinkling Sea is heard

Yielding to Laughter

Pursued by the Moon

Gritty steps reverberate the path, winding. Puttering along, the lone figure listens to the mosquito moon moaning behind skuzzy sky. Scraggly limbs cast sniveling shadow across his face, leather loafers glinting damp through lamp-light ripples. Rain hovers in misty summer air.

He stops, cognizant of Eyes upon him, lambent yellow beaming through the darkness. Then comes a muffled cry, a raspy whir wafting down from the arms of the great live oak- creature nestled somewhere in the down of rain-dappled Spanish moss.

Muted-still, the man waits, gazing up into the dripping tree, listening to the sound of life writhing and stirring in the dank and brittle grass at his feet.

With a flash of pale wing, the creature spills into view, poised on a naked branch, talons curling into deep fissured bark, glinting with rain. Those gawping eyes of lemon fire slit the darkness.

Then, a sudden gust of ludic wind flits through, brushing away the film from the moon. With a tossing steel mane, the man watches the little owl glide upwards and over the crests of trees, quickly dissipating into the darkness beyond, pursued by the lucid light of Sapphire Moon.

The man, too, hurries on, with bowed head, starlight stirring in ruffled puddles that swirl in his wake.

Still Summer Sundered

Still Summer sundered-

Distant storm smolders

Sunset swimming

On glazed Surf

Bruised horizon

Vomiting waves

Vanquishing this

Once sickly-placid

Ocean Lake

Dog-Day Desiderium

Saliferous lips

Morning allatrates

Scalp-scraping desperation

Dog-days of this ocean lake-

A sheet of perspiration–

As June dissipates

Calling Hurricanes
