Sometimes trickle sometimes flood, time rolls in excess of perdition, determinant roar let know the bounty still bounds come rain or flame. Blood’s key– ruby interlay of souls huddling warm against beating hearts, pains, gaining leverage in hope, gold lighted dawn, somewhere another’s eyes. Lover, I name thee– human spirit– your touch as [...]

Lovers dangle barefoot brevity against the water’s kiss, the ripples like wishes in bottles, SOS and MIA where snow dawns in itinerant icebergs lain bare and broken on the shore. His hands in her hair, the wind knows not the blooming of petals-in-flight –it is a patient spring. It’s a special One Shot, my friends [...]
