What is forgotten

Posted on January 15, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

What is forgotten Is easily replaced All else remains, divine quiet rings of ripples last long after the Beloved’s pebble cast to vanish beneath the water line. From the still axis a deeper message heard in the silence, between the echo, … Continue reading →

I Followed a Writer Up a Tree

Posted on January 15, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

I followed a writer up a prodigious tree Every leaf I brushed, his poem. From the crown I scanned the pastoral a poetic landscape in repose, A resplendent chorus of Glistening verdant wisdom. O’ vast vibrato of sibilance slipping the … Continue reading →

Smithereens

Posted on January 12, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Love’s mystery unraveling is a star burning out… Naught but a flame without its coal; a constellation sans axis to circle about. When its meaning exceeds the object of dreams, Let it go, let it go to be loved to … Continue reading →

Poems that will get me killed (2015, Issue 1)

Posted on December 29, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

I wrote to her sacrilege Toasted haram She, an idol among dregs I, a totem in her palm Love lifts on rose scent leaving petals to quiver all between us once, rent, only kindling to give her Hence, I turn to death which best knows life and set fire to my nest … Continue reading →

Pulsing Inkwell

Posted on December 29, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Love’s letters clatter in currents Winds curl to stillness, in a talus of potpourri, Season totem, a cluster of hope, waiting For one match pulled and struck, To scare the ghosts from the pyre. In a choke of smoke from … Continue reading →

Sibilant Skin

Posted on December 16, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

When still, the world turns around the axis of my heart. From the dark within, lemniscates of a lantern light tie ribbons in my eyes; will you know me then? And when I die, a steady sibilant wind of myrrh … Continue reading →

The Garden Road

Posted on December 11, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Nourished by love for the unseen within, when seen by a heart, shimmers, sans end. Swells the bud a flame before bloom, sans thorn, sans pain sans sojourner’s wound. The wilting, the dying, the falling to earth, the paradox wrapped in a gift … Continue reading →

Wild Vine

Posted on December 10, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

We are each alone and together everywhere. Not a molecule of you do I contain; refresh your beauty where you need for you travel like a wild vine in search of falling light, but your roots run deep into me, oh Beloved, I … Continue reading →

Not to be withheld

Posted on December 5, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

A love cannot be withheld that is not purely ours to give. So the hollowed reed filled by the purest breath makes the sweetest sound, Love is a musician, it cannot help but play And the beloved cannot help but listen. If thirsting, we should love … Continue reading →
