TRUE BEING
For a moment,
Frozen in the window of my soul.
Immersed in a disquieting vision.
Knowing I will never see you again.
NOMAD
The moon quivers in the morning ecstasy
Red roses dance with reflective dewdrops
Heaven’s knowledge and eternity held
In the rapture or a wanderer’s anguish.
AXIS
The passion shall escape
While the past,
Flickering hungry
Is bleached invisible.
You gaze at
The unfeigned light
Walking out determined
From your world.
Knowing how it feels
To be broken
And have a black hole
On your timeline.
CREPUSCULE
Living between all boundaries
the light is always within grasp
winding through the face of another.
Entangled in the capsule of darkness
waiting to move forward in love
and paint a new beginning.

So happy you enjoyed them, Kritika! Yes, there’s reality but also never ending hope in that last piece. Plus, it forced me to educate myself about the title! I love when writers “school” me. 🙂
