Tis Now – the time to buzz and squirm,With all the chaos teemingJust inches below our calm bright surface;Hordes edging – hedge dwellers daring –To breach our gardenās brims,To claim for their own – the upper Earth –The overground, to infiltrate our homes –And build castles in our crumbs What a quaint revolution to witness,SuchContinue reading “Some little things š”

For Tomb and Tome
They said their words then stood as Stone;Seasons become a day –When Time unveils the PassingBefore a Perfect face Some souls content with silence –Might hope sing Eterne,Once quelled voices – locked in Earth –Rise upon the Dawn Still, my Immortals command I listen –To old and extant echoes:Thereās a breath to patina complexions,Epitaphs –Continue reading “For Tomb and Tome”

Faux Fleur

Poeās Ponderment
Were I to kiss – the Lute of Olde –Found – in antiquity,The notes would fly – in rosen gold;For Ears – the Grace of Me Yet if Yesterday – filtered every tune,Left fresher lyrics – scarce,Slanted relevance – would halt my bloom,And Tomorrow – would forget. Lillith May Ā©2022

Break Champagne Against This Vessel
I christen the start with resolutions,The Captainās quite convincedTo strive toward – āfore this journeyās end –Worthy accomplishments – And here, behold – my losses and wins,A bounty found in effort;Gold in triumph, something learned in trying,All shining – hoarded Treasure Even shipwrecks inspire ballads that move,So sailor – I enquire again: In what waysContinue reading “Break Champagne Against This Vessel”
