another muted prayer

for reason,
in these times of strife...

may the red flag flutter ever higher

Nuclear Korea - way to go !

creativity@work, did i say ?

the heartless moon stares
across a sea of glistening black

while the relentless monotone

of ceaseless blacksmiths

hammer emotions

into begging bowls.

weary desires reach out

stoning mirrors

shattering reflections

to free dream shards

piercing my heart

in blue pain.

wisps of haze

escape tender wild lips

laced with the desire

of bitter nicotine

in erupting spirals

of dazzling tungsten.

searing songs of silence soothing

i penned so long ago

gazing the vista

of blossoms in sunshine

lingering waves of myriad mirages

in wavy curtains of spring rain;

that danced in your brown eyes...

a mute prayer

for love,

in these times of strife…
