No. 5 (The Other Kind)

They vomit beauty.

Who am I in comparison?

Who am I in contrast?

They are the gate to an everlasting conversation;

One - I fear -

I am not equipped to enter.

Utterly radiant and thoroughly clouded

Shrouded in intimidating humility 

Wholly exposed in their camouflage.

So who am I? Who am I?

I am the recipient of passivity’s whispers

Fighting the urge to bury my head in the sand.

For fear of over-exposure 

Of additional disclosure

Of appearing dull in the midst of poorly-masked brilliance.

A Modern Rearing

Quiet quiet quiet quiet

Stop crying right this instant!

Quiet quiet quiet quiet

Come, smile for me now!

Quiet quiet quiet quiet 

Who said you could speak?

Quiet quiet quiet quiet

I love you...now go to sleep.

No. 3

In that silence was the speed of light

Of anticipation and all things holy.

In that silence were our carefully measured breaths

What next? What next? What next?

Not even the moss could hold still

The breeze simply wouldn’t allow it.

And I’m perfectly content with that.

No. 2

You gave me a necklace -

A beautiful string of pearls.

That’s all You have to offer.

Nothing but the very best

To spoil the ones You love.

And I, still a fool, 

Abused your precious gift.

In the water, in the desert,

In my bed at night.

How could I not see it coming?

Pearls everywhere -

Covering the floor.

I couldn’t take a step

For fear of falling 

On such beautiful chaos. 

But all you saw was my bare neck.

Overcome with guilt,

I couldn’t look into your eyes.

But, my God, if I had,

They would have matched the glimmering

In Your outstretched hands.
