Losing Charm

has the spring season
lost its charm
........................or
have I ?

where once the bird-
songs and warm weather
posited joy
there is only lingering
thoughts from a long
winter
...........I can’t explain
how strong cold thoughts
cast their roots
in the mind

the once-frozen ground
has thawed
the once-frozen pond

why not these sentiments
of warm kindheartedness ?

laboriously picking
thee sparse meat
of barnacles, stranded above

violent city streets enamor
the news - enamoring world-
views and social contraconceptions

upon the horizon
nearer than tomorrow
nearer than ourselves …

those lines softened

the ending.
so it is.
ending.
and the contour of the naked flesh
closing
in orbit
actually
fading indescribable
as if that were
a word
ever used
in poesy. i made the magistrate,
the stars,
the overwhelming
day.

you stayed.

pretended the worthless.
imagined the future.
you stayed.
imagining.
the ROCKS

To Summons the EverLasting

the cold air crept in
upon the muted breeze -
a thoughtless whisper
a long last breath -

the sea gull's heartache
echoes thru the now-empty
streets

............Once the hope
of Spring filled w/ promise,
girls in sandles began the work
of their golden brown tans

Now, a belly full of Guinness
a tin whistle & fond remembrances
rear rotund countenances of the past,
wilting upon each mind-breath
..of dream, to sumons the everlasting ...
