Prism

Any day give me colored light to white

For I prefer to be bathed  in unsplit rainbow

And to that add my own sparkle

And try as I may 

creams beige and gray

Life turns at me like a prism

And I'll never turn away

Seasons

I am winter 

I come to you with all that is frozen in me

And need to melt

But first

I need your gentle spring

to thaw what once was green

And then

A warm May rain 

to bring to bud what beauty 

has been closed inside

And then your golden June light 

to let leaves, 

full of dew,

Dance away from petal 

of their own heavy drenched pliancy

And then I need your blue skies 

to sweetly lure the bloom

from beneath verdant crinolines

So yes, I need you 

But softly

And Slow like seasons

Stars

You are all stars in my sky.

Crossed Out

I have happily died on the cross of this love

crossed myself out

old self fading fast

and happily have transformed

but my ghost lingered last

like a cracked crinkled edgeworn

picture from the past

Trinity

Salt water was the medicine I chose

to heal this half broken heart

with shells

and other barnacled places I've been

and felt my way through the dips in swells

I swam through salty ocean tears

and swept away the sands of time

but somehow, doesn't it always stick to the skin?

ever after triton was done with me

this holey trinity

ebbed sanguine into saline

and I sat on the tip of the shore alone

and was expected each day 

to make this new for you

like a moon

Tide

As the tide turns away now

It takes with it all

that has settled in my soul

Rose

If I could

Scoop out the bad

And fill it with rainbow shebert

I would

And if I could empty this bag

and pack it with flowers

I would

And if I would actually see you 

standing in the shadow so cool in your shades

I could stand a chance

but you have disappeared- a pink peony against a poppy sunset

in my rose coloured glance

so instead i leave a single spec of glitter on you

 to remind you of this light

born of my constant charge

to make your world more bright

despite
