Paragon of hope
Burning sorrow
of the morrow
Is the secret
of Tomorrow.

Like morning haze
clinging to sycamores
So is my love
Captive in the cave
of swimmers dancing
in the flicker of fires
Casting shadows
of things
that could be…

“I’ll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing you.” – Michael Ondaatje
In the evening
with my eyelashes
I kill all the events of the day
I choke perceptions and
reveries green
That could be real
Pending dream.
In the evening
with my fingers
I spin yarns
For your sweet bedlams…

I am honored and humbled to be part of the Medium publications!
I aim at dreams
knife them
as trophies on my wall.
I can always
take one down,
quench the thirst
of a turbulent wound
with
tainted endearment
from the poisoned well
We dug and drained
under the wing of
One night.
I’m in love
with a stabbed dream.
Under my skin
Rumors of thyself
move clouds upon the moon…
Art by Gertrude Abercrombie.

Multiple facets
of benevolence, friendship and kindness
have been engraved

Your minds drew letters
Upon my soul

To humble and subdue
All the shimmers of the world.
This is my modest “payment” for the beauty and joy you have given me through knowing you and your beautiful art and my “currency” in thanking you for reading, appreciating and sharing my words.

I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.
–Friederich Nietzsche
I am a cloud, and a siege of tornadoes: but he who is not afraid of my swirl, will find banks of rainbows beneath my grey.
I am a gale, and the yearn to push boats ahaven: but he who is not afraid of my blow, will fly with the skylarks.
I am a sea, and a green of waves: but he who is not afraid of my abyss, will swim away with the mermaids.
I am the night, and the thrill of dark dreams: but he who is not afraid of my nightmares, will fall sleep with the daffodils.

Morning Mist
By Iulia Halatz
The mist that
covers my heart
is thick
numbing mornings
and evenings
with the sagacity
of a cubist artifact.
It comes in layers
clinging with fetid fingers
on to the gargoyles
of the old mansion
our love has become.
No surprise from
any shadow
No brush
with velveteen
vulnerable
acts of tenderness.
Dragons and starlings
seem nearer
in the dancey mists
Love is uncovered
in a smile
at first light…
Is that enough?

Iulia Halatz
She says: “Be the one who cares, make words so disruptive that they create new worlds, hopes and dreams. Even if we are unhappy dinosaurs and find shelter in an Iron Tale or ruminate about feeling too much, whilst declaring colorless apparel, we should take power and strength from our stories.”
Her published poems can be found in The Sudden Denouement Anthology Volume I.
Give your heart
but to whom
Shall desire.
Allow your joy
to be received
with greatest care
and tunes of innocence.
Strengthen the bond of yourselves
but to surpass
the nameless peril
of Deception.
Name the mirror
in which you catch
the single moment
of deep, ungrateful
Love.

Perfection in verse by RamJet Poetry:
“In summary, there was purpose
prefecture, pandemonium, permanence
fingers frayed the stitching
ignominious example in grocery-cart aisles
uncommon disorders frequently populating
the deserted isles
unexpectedly, the vase fell from the table
untouched it shattered
flowers and pottery scattered across the floor
as galaxies flowed into void…”
Lettered feelings to the artist as a young man by the amazing Erich Michaels
…”I wrote a letter to that young wanderer
Using my address from that time
Across the top: Erich Michaels (adolescent)
In it I said:
Yes…she will break your heart, but…
Enjoy the ride
Also, don’t block out her name
She deserves better than that
That tattoo will be a regret
Not just because it’s needle and thread
Bottle of India ink, prison-chic
But because it doesn’t represent you…”
