TREE OF LIFE

Why a man
nailed to a tree
a god to weak
to enforce his will?
or
is there a strength sublime
that pervades
the course of mankind
slowly
bringing all to Perfection
time as its instrument
ignorance...
but a footnote

DARK HEART

wise in the ways of death
a young maiden beckons
a youth
his passions run hot
responds
but her black heart
yearns
for an end that begins not
with the consumption of desire
a spark...
jst a spark of light

the wind
echoes
in the desert of my mind
emptiness rumbles
and the serpent
rises

a River Runs

the depth of her soul
shone thru her eyes
transfixed
by that unblinking stare
boundaries of space and time
dissolved
and she took me
down by the river
submerged
we walked on its sandy bottom
its waters flowed thru us
carrying us out into space
beyond galaxies
and we were dissolved
back into the primal mix
one, again
