Feelings,
Like clawing cadavers, stiffen and cool within me.
Their ice consumes and inflates,
A subtle pretense of strength and health
Shards slice and burn surrounding tissue
Ocular windows glaze over,
frozen in a state of abject decay.
In a war-torn shell
Exists a special hell
Where one flayed spirit resides.
Her shattered soul stands,
She shall not be damned!
She is wisdom, teacher – guide.
A casual glance was all it took,
Her heart beat raced as if she ran
A thousand miles upon the land
Her palm – it quivered, trembled, shook!
His lazy gaze had pierced her soul
And wrenched and burrowed, taking hold
A single gasp escaped her lips
He is the one, her life’s eclipse,
Forever twined in waters cold.

DFC 2014 - 13. She Walked The Stars

Each twitch and twinkle – I knew every bit -
I loved her ‘fore I met with her embrace

She transformed my world with effortless grace
And tended to more wounds than I’ll admit,
She taught me how to love through time and space
A passion borne of comet’s fire l

DFC 2014: 2. She Of Pure Insurmountable Grace
She came to me from an unlikely place
A woman of pure insurmountable grace
Compassionate, supportive, loving and kind
With a rapier’s wit and an elephant’s mind
She burrowed her way past the shields and the walls
And made herself home in the shrapnel mauled halls
Tenacity, honour, stubbornness – strength
She would do anything; she’ll go to all lengths
To protect, to envelope, to save and to shield
She is love, she is light – a diamond concealed
She came to me from an unlikely place
A woman of pure insurmountable grace.
Compassionate, supportive, loving and kind
