imagination's light

when darkness takes the security
a void of thought retains its purity
and the demons of forever night
are hindered by imagination’s light

so, in the space of timelessness
perhaps the very consciousness
creativity can preclude all fear
as though reality might truly appear

then take such precious opportunity
that could be no more than fortuity
to escape the mortal and molecular
becoming life spectacular

be thus a dedicated student of introspect
for darkness is here, but not so perfect

we know

though this is spring
a sinister wind has put the day to bed
maybe these times of understanding
nothing will end as the night passes

could the dreams of yesterdays
help to ease the transportation
into vacant perpetuity
or will eternity dilute
the memories of the kisses, the sighs

where might we travel
what is the purpose of any journey
a sojourn yes, but why
this is still here as we return
and that is the only destination

so, can the summer ever appear
or would a better alternative be
that these dreams will such continuum
as to never suffer the reality of tomorrow

and we know what the day will bring

hiding

as your eyes close, death is in me
with the escape of fleeting awareness
leaving sadness here, to press
another soul, and bear
the brief sense of pain, of life

this death will, and should
tell of hunger, thirst, isolation
for, amongst corpses, is the stuff
of you, and the time now to be
but more, to perceive

hiding in the darkness that is
or the brightness that was
is the fate of all who dare
yet the unborn have no idea, that
the passing makes it all worthwhile

paintings

such paintings
of the blue sky
random with clouds
or the black with stars
are no trivial art
for elusive
as the image of
the very condensate
that life energizes
truth in all there was
there is, there will be
is the canvas
the paint
the artist

aloof

‘tis never the time
to say nor do
for, ever is too long

and you, oh you
with this temporary spell
could tell an eternal tale
of smile and song

and while we rest
to listen
stars, they glisten and fade
‘til we are gone

our escapade
becomes none, yet
your story will persist
timeless, kissed by truth

and so aloof
