    virtual reticence
    revives the ken
    in random pride

    Burst of color
    in honeyed light
    sky afire

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    sense the vaccuum invading,
    fulsome quiet
    falls away

    Translucent threads
    illuminated
    in decent
    of Salome's
    dance

    I can't see histories
    in black and whites
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    live
    die
    wonder
    why
    reaper
    appears
    life
    withers
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    in deliberate restitution chic

    Death come sweetly
    steal me
    with a kiss

    Quite night:
    wind howls;
    alone; silence;
    hissing fear.

    8 is too many, 5 would be more of a challenge.

    poverty speaks,
    misery scowls,
    guilt reeks,
    owls
    haunt

    an Amoral
    person
    will sell
    their own smile

    a Beautiful
    person
    will shelf
    their own dream

    an inexorable
    Messenger
    will live
    their own account

    I have lost my soul
    among ocean
    waves
