The Promise to Make One Feel Good: The Darling

Don’t you know I love you?

Like the rivers blue and winding

The past brazen far behind me

unzipped until the latter days

The stable’s been painted

The horses groomed

A love, is this love his, is this all for you?

Yes, so true

The wheats been cut, the fire pops

hissing out

the coals too…

#SONNET — #Poetry — #GWxii — “Fall, Ephemeral Fall”

When all honesty return’d with contempt,

Return as unspoken vulgarities;

Tis’ thine own lips, contorted; words attempt

Displacing love, truth, for false charities.

Neither Saint, nor Sinner, wherefore lies true speech?

As chaste, yet base, for layeth mine between.

Where honesty doth lie beyond thy reach,

Why speak thee lies, fallacies, so obscene?

I love not riches, prestige, nor power;

All ‘ere loved I, but true, love honesty.

Abortive, words, pluck’d barren thy flower,

Reveal how thoughts breed thy deformity.

Ephemeral petals, brittle’d rust.

Defile’d virtue, love’s truth withers to dust.

Poem? … Round-Robin?

wordsworthinc:

i was fire

until they

cut me down

twinned to a ghost

i became transparent

and i saw my voice

on the telephone

telling you

be careful

love is

everywhere

you are not

and it will not

rest until

it finds you

with teeth

as white

as winter wolves

that cut you down

when you

are on fire

So is the PAIN

not unique

indescreet

leaving you, me, whomever

broken

fragments

incomplete

ash

vapor

nothing

then slowly … … ever so slowly … …

settle

set down, set down

come back together

because LOVE rips us to pieces

just to put us back together again.

Painting a story

WORDS serve as colors

PHRASES for the structures

EMOTIONS bring out shadows

And from deep within a familiar spell is cast

Bringing about another CHANGE

A reminder we cannot stay the SAME

Begins with a simple look

a moment no longer than a second

but just enough to start a chain reaction

cascading down from an intangible heaven

your eyes were held by mine

across a crowded room

they met for the first of many times

And from that moment on, there was nothing we could do

I remember in bursts of color

fireworks of images

I remember in bursts of desire

breathing you into me

I remember the exotic flavor

that lingered in all my senses

I remember in bursts of laughter

little tickled explosions

And I remember how I came home, finally came HOME

after being away much too long…

How will you know true love when it hits you? ©KHC, 2005

Witness To His Shame

Do you remember me in white robes?

maudlin, mercurial, unkept

wrapped in Fantasy

reflected in moonlight

filled in by your regret

Are you ashamed of me now?

stained white hotel sheets

with unspeakable things

and my underweight frame

buried somewhere beneath

is it

in this

we become

another secret ………. more dangerous ?

IS THAT HOW YOU WILL CHOOSE TO REMEMBER ME?

a drunken late night currant

of Rioja Red, Montelpucciano

flowing into mischievous malfeasance

spilled over and running ruining

the last copy of our manuscript

THEN I AM ASHAMED I GAVE YOU THOSE MOMENTS

a gift so pure

from inside me

passing an obsequious and fierce youth

as wild as the heat of battle

wide-eyed …. feral …. struggling

rough hands gripped and pressed down my wrists

you liked it when I fought back

HOW COULD I HELP

the veracity outside our window

the warmth that came

then a shelter built from whispers

HOW CAN YOU BE ASHAMED

what do you remember me as….

or has the ink bled too much on the page

have you bleached

all color

with your guilt

my fingers flip thru blank white pages empty as if I dreamt it

lovely longing and letters

words at play with words

rekindling fire by phrases

SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE

A PLACE LONG FORGOTTEN

PERHAPS THOUGHT DEAD

NONETHELESS DORMANT

THAT WARMTH BREATHED LIFE INTO

WHAT GAVE LIFE TO THOSE MOMENTS

you and I are their only witness

how can you be ashamed for this?

In our shadows we are the shades of our passing selves

in the empty room where the white robes come and go

like the white sheets in endless

supply

The lights are going down

as two ghosts move about

with the creaks and echos

wondering what to do

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES

They are left behind and kept away trapped in that

Time and Space

They never thought it would turn out this way

Or that they were ever ghosts to begin with

Or anything was wrong in the first place.

FLASHVERSE II: Cliffwood House

Oh little house ~ Nestled on the hillside ~ Warm spring days when fresh green leaves glow with sunlight ~ Quiet summer evenings sitting still, listening on the porch ~ gusts of wind rushing thru the flush trees ~ Returning in the darkest night to see you, little house, all alight, a beacon of respite ~ HOME ~ Oh little house ~ my HOME ~ At least, for a time, little house, you were, you were ~ Home to me, precious, most dear ~ Goodbye, oh farewell, to a House I’d loved so ~ nestled on the hillside ~ no more may I go ~ Never again see its beacon alight for me ~ instead into darkness ~ that light fading as I go ~ One look over my shoulder ~ one last glimpse but I can’t ~ my soul weeps ~ heart aches ~ no more, little house, have I a Home.

likeacut:

quake in the halls of your father,

where his golden fist comes down with a thud

and blood,

oh, once I was a girl

with a heart in my chest,

once I knew

that blue

was the color of the sky

and not the sea,

but now I can’t be sure.

I quake, and I quake,

but I’m never sure.
