Everything

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

Everything we see is it’s pristine essence casting the same light from the womb of darkness. Gripped by the dolor of a glaucous sky, love’s longing reminds us that nothing is ever truly lost to anything less than the visual … Continue reading →

A Fair Curve in a Slow Current

Posted on December 12, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

My death is a lengthening, eastern shadow creeping. As the sun sets on a westerly life fountain coins, falling, deepening. Throw away nothing of a poets reaping recollection, Glowing golden within the chaff, darkened wheat in separation. He plays to … 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 →

Sans Words

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

Sans a single word within the voluminous corpus of epic poetry, their unrevealed meaning would still flourish beyond the capacity of endless rows of bookshelves. Gaze silently, for One quiet candle can consume a thousand suns… And be blown out … 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 →

Fireflies

Posted on December 4, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

I try to catch my words like fireflies and store them in a jar. I cannot. Whenever I lift the lid to speak again, the jar talks to me… And off they fly. In the silence, inspired thoughts make pleas … Continue reading →

Abandoned by Youth to Silence

Posted on November 24, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

There are those with whom We are only meant to share Silence. He, a single bead of dew, Aged well, yet threadbare. Clung to the cat tongue edge of a Green blade of grass. She, a daughter among the olive … Continue reading →

We Are

Posted on October 24, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

We are the flame that consumes the wick, we are the wick that burns down the column of wax, we are the encasement of wax that melts from around the wick… all these we are, thus giving the “candle of … Continue reading →

Bed bound and solitudinous

Posted on October 24, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Bed bound and solitudenous Out beyond the edge of reason, beyond where my senses can claim I cannot sleep or wake… nor dream. A state of insouciant stillness. Bereft of unnecessary memories. I am not loved, I do not love in ways I can … Continue reading →
