Michael L. Poems

two shadows sway in starlight
every night the aether writhes
by moonlight shadows sever ties
with mortal bodies, locked in dreamtides
...

you smile, and stars burst into being
you laugh, the angels swoon and dropp into the sea
your eyes mirror starlight at midnight
dreamtides rise and fall behind them, so deep and so bright
...

talk about the divine
that smile like sunshine
blows my mind all the time
and, my god, those eyes alight
...

this isnt pain
it doest bring the tears down like rain
this isnt shame
it doesnt flush heat into my face
...

I wish I knew something
to explain my everything
but I don't, so I wordlessly sing
I wish I could take this all out of me
...

the music in my mind
the echoes of my writhing tides
that know not time nor light
nor dark nor rhyme, just the divine
...

so long ago, i bore the seed
of all my soul would ever need
i planted it deep
and tended it in sleep
...

death is yet come for me
long years left, much for me to see
like the trees, i grow, roots deep in reality
feed the blossoms in my dreams
...

aye, my heart quivers
ive no taste for winter
my heart shivers
full of splinters
...

I don't presume by titling this the world, as the world is beyond my verbal perceptions, and likely my mental ones as well. I mean 'The World' as but a few of my thoughts concerning the world.

the world, so many broken hearts
the world, so many who fear the dark
...
