Shutter (poem)

Poetry

Sensitive to light,
Watering without volition.
But the warmth of the sun,
Soothing the eyes.

Taken for granted,
Nightfall comes quickly.
Cold breeze blows through,
Still clarity of moonlight.

Expect next day’s rising,
But stars give no guarantees.
Vastness of the cosmos,
Dependent planetary systems.

Supernova explosion,
Silent in destruction.
Sleeping in darkness,
No awakening anticipated.

Portrait (poem)

Poetry

Brushstrokes layered,
Canvas still white.
Rough outlines emerge,
Essence elusive.

Sitting model fidgets,
Restless and bored.
Constantly shifting,
Blurring the image.

Set off for a moment,
Never to return.
Incomplete portrait staring,
Blank spaces to fill.

Interpreting visions,
Fairy whispers of truth.
Legacy everlasting,
Ugly pictures of you.

Expand (poem)

Poetry

Rhythms clashing,
Cacophony of sounds.
Unnatural activity,
Sound waves close in.

Escape the noise,
Return to nature.
Push out your heart,
Embrace the expanse.

Chilling voids,
Cruel apathy.
Human behavior,
Inconsequential.

Eliminate yourself,
Join the nothing.
Connect your soul,
To all of existence.
