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 →

Trifles Past Lips

Posted on November 14, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

We Are

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

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 →

My Magnificent Morning Malaise

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

Earth Bound Elements in Repose

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