Life Cycle

First you hold them like a secret
you can only suspect is true.
Then soft knockings from within
Tap out messages for you.
Slowly the body allows escape,
You hold them in your arms,
dazed and milky, full of love,
pledged to defend from harm.
Then you hold them to your heart
and put them to the breast.
But they learn to walk away
like any other guest.

Silver

She is a paradox
sometimes flowing like a new river after winter
pent up after being smothered in ice.
She retreats into a cave like a bear in hibernation.
Sometimes she is ever present in form
but absent in thought
like scorching concrete at the peak of summer.
She fumes when I cannot find words to convey my ideas.
She reaches her well utilized arm out
and pats me on the back with encouragement
when I fulfill her thoughts.
It is a constant tug of war for power with her
to give up or push through the barrier
revealing her chrome core.
The apex is never obtainable;
A constant odyssey

“Electra”

Missiles steam into the stratosphere missing their mark
Bullets meant to wound don’t graze.
Garrotes lay unstrung.
Darkness envelopes space like heavy old wool. Tracers un-launched illuminate nothing.
The earth is not scorched.
Old wounds do not split open and weep.
Words lay one on top of the other unmoving.
A huddle of sentences circles itself whispering codes that the sidelines misunderstand.
Images melt like sands in the tide.
Metaphors transmute to vapor crumbling beneath the weight of an eye’s gentle touch.
Paper and ink disintegrate. Papyrus grows where great words nearly convened.
And the furies cry out that their prey has escaped.
Surely Apollo mocks them in their attempts, while Electra laments that the best part of her life is past.

I had some trouble with this one at first, until I read some fo the early folks who posted. It made sense after that. It’s 11:43pm in San Diego. I need to work on these earlier!
