The Second Day

June 8, 2016June 8, 2016 ahorsealone

The sky is my wound,

And you… my womb.

If ever was a lovers nest,

Let us in the sky take rest.

First Day

June 7, 2016June 8, 2016 ahorsealone

The charm of a sun,

Those golden rays.

A wild grass undone,

Golden, reaches…sways.

Your Youth

March 13, 2016March 13, 2016 ahorsealone2 Comments
What is your youth,
Purity? Memory?  Wisdom?
Is it such a secret
that all the world will
sway for you?
Your shyness fetters even
the last ice into Springs
Excitement,
As winters solitude blushes
In the face of your youth.

Disenchantment

September 21, 2014September 21, 2014 ahorsealone4 Comments

In the ruins of disenchantment
Parrables of suffering
Lay amongst the orchids of beauty.

Here the heart labors
Where the soul
Has been patient.

Winds sweep away
Ruins and blooms…
Wanderers too.

The Pear and Plum Tree

April 30, 2014April 30, 2014 ahorsealone1 Comment

There was a bird that sang to me
Beneath the pear and plum tree.
It was there for days I dreamed
As winged spirit honey weaned.

When in time I’d come for song…
Winds had then rested too long,
And summers end sent melody
South to hills of tangerine.

Threads

September 3, 2013September 3, 2013 ahorsealone1 Comment

Threads slowly part undone,
Telling the story as ’twas spun…
Once by Earth…then Weaver still,
Then one wonders if of their will.

They’d keep going, so I think now,
They’d spin apart and to the ground,
And then to Earth…or Weaver still,
Then I’d wonder if ’twere will.

Often Awake

August 19, 2013August 19, 2013 ahorsealone

My eyes oft searched through the dark,

As though my dreams were empty,

As though they wanted not a part
Of sleep I slept without thee.

Pieces

July 24, 2013July 24, 2013 ahorsealone2 Comments

Not only heaven fell to shore
When stumbled I on milky ore,
Long since the ocean, waves unfurled,
On shore laid thin her shawl to world,
And mountain, move’d far inland,
Swayed his self to shore as sand.

I stayed here, our world’s torn seam,
One man of men, looking within.

Breath

May 16, 2013 ahorsealone1 Comment

There is a temple in my breath,
And my heart is a mason
Searching for steps to your neck.

But my breath is lost to wind,
Leaving temples in the sky,
Each a city to your sigh.

I heard the rain

April 17, 2013April 17, 2013 ahorsealone

I heard the rain outside today
And a robin singing away.
I thought which way his song would sway,
Because I heard the rain outside today.
