To Cast a Stone

Missing image

Burden of bright,

thoughts tossed as stones

upon foliage lake of vernal ribbons,

visionary ripples in serenity,

karmic song sung in soul

to ponder the lairs

between dawn and dusk.

 

Copious feline flinches

from vicarious envy,

beguile,

sky billowy warts

mime a numinous authorship

with matriarchal overtones.

 

Surety's nymph

plays hopscotch

across a scalded porch

using a croquet mallet

as sword

for battling dragons

from one's abyss of screams

 

Solitude's breath

brings heaven as a scent

of barbecued reverie.

 

Passion's pic nic basket

kept in mannequin's window closet,

flipping pages of confessional calendar,

scribbling through indiscretion's doodles,

paradise lost to ghosts,

accepting emerald smothers cemeteries

and the fields of sandman castles.

Author notes

Image is titled "sky smiles" by an artist unkown to me.

    soft elegantly described images with a somewhat haunting rhythm about it as though the love is lingering in the air despite one or both parties that possessed it have passed through life's closing curtain.
