Tranquil


The wind is blowing
the trees are whispering
the town is still and quiet
tranquil and unmoving
her veins are unsolicited
her heart, stillborn
frequently she’s singing
thoughts go on obscured.
blight and misfortune avoid me
history and fate have been consumed
time and conspiracy exploited
world with out end amen

her room remains
empty
her coat, full of pockets
with nothing to fill them
beads of romance
strings of life-like pearls
a house, unoccupied
a bed, unused
a face, worn out by tears

the space is universal
no trespassers allowed
infinite beauty
peace and tranquility rehearsed
roses, morning glories
sanitized by seasonal bliss
moments of tenderness
infinite transcendence

oh skies above us
watching below at a beautiful haze
as the green changes to blue
upside down or right side up
the yearning
beaches wide eyed with stupid love
time multiplied
a lucid atmosphere
arise and awaken
When no one is there.
