the flakes are falling
soft in purpose
like the sky turning
announcing her
mystic shine
beyond the fond
blank manner

how many blanket layers
cover the distant autumn
the summer laugh of
joyous balsam dancing
in he wind and the livid
skies aflame in rays
reaching

the streetlights are coming
on along the shores
and the dark green
waters hold their calm

I want a night of dreamless
realm
dark headiness
and sprinkler ghosts
rushing wet damp
pavement

and the silence
of the stars
cloaked in their
watchful eternity
behind the
softness
behind the
histories
that choose us

quiet poem

with a title
this was as I was falling asleep in my chair
exhausted brain running through memories
haunts ghosts and things that go Bonk in the night
all the images flickering like around a campfire
before turning in
and outside the snow was falling beautiful
and alone on the city

wanted to write something gnashing
and exciting but that will have to wait

and I had a great good rest finally...

I can imagine you walking along side the boulevard,

all alone, in the lap of nature,
which does each one of us nurture,
to the quietude of some symphony
in the far off distance,
perhaps Nigeria,
playing a tune of dismal melancholy,
awaiting the snowflakes to melt
upon your shoulders
as others all slumber in peace,
within their cozy comfy vaults
and
dreaming of what looks outside
like a storm,
as you traverse in real form.

Silently playing a flute,
a mouthorgan
or a distant imaginary trumpet,
hoping to eventually become
the Prez
Some day God willing

smile you made Me

at the first comma
the first turn of keyboard
the sweet clicks
like the tell of telegraphic

Wistful

Wistful
wandering like a snowflake
down this page of thought,
the dark silence
lit by small fires

the viridian purple
of the black sheen
cast like ghosts
of past flares
way out in space.

viridian

wow..long time since I heard this word

Thank You for the memories now
rising up like ashs
in a wind

like the sea so infinite within
we can cup our dream
against an ear
and listen

Hear Hear
mothers soft breakers
the lullaby storm abating

alas and hark! it works...

sometimes I get tired of my single titles
and this "cedilla" thing works
Part of the keyboard I never used before
until then...I still dont know what its used for
you know or knew its name. Thanks Elf
and Hello! Cedilla!

Dear Esker,

I want a night of dreamless
realm
dark headiness
and sprinkler ghosts
rushing wet damp
pavement

and the silence
of the stars
cloaked in their
watchful eternity
behind the
softness
behind the
histories
that choose us

so peaceful... *sighs

always, Cat

Yes Cat

The more we read it
the more it grows
and grows
like the bean stalk
into the sky of our
consciousness

"like the sky turning
announcing her
mystic shine"

way out there
where our brains hold their secret store
of images and experiences,

"the streetlights are coming
on along the shores"

Mr Wolf manages it every time.
Ann.

"behind the
histories
that choose us"

this season is thus

arriving in her quiet superflous
and I arise beyond the night
full of dreams
and visioned sights
the granduer of the light
recieving
my day thus woke and sure
percieving
my comment poems
and answer leavings

Thank You Ann
