Poem 1(no title)
Timeless tales with tell you
of myths told in light
where he fights to win her
hero of a child’s dream swept night
while she is trapped in cynical solidarity, and he is king of all nobody watches as she falls
falls not for him but down to a world unknown Discovering herself: blood, flesh and bone.
Poem 2 (no title)
Meet the angels in your mind that hide
like treasure
behind barricaded walls: a demon’s assemblage. You’ll find a peep of blinding light:
ancient secrets told in plain sight.
—
Do you see my wings?
Can you still feel me as I fly?
up through pink clouds
eternal, golden.
and though I love the earths gentle ground,
I must chase the sun’s sound
the light that is blinding–
a mural of souls who struck joy in the confounding.
I pray you’ll follow.
