Steady Shadows
A tautogram
Serenading starlings swiftly soar,
Sapphire skies share silent stories,
Sinking suns signal solemn soirees,
Swaying shadows scatter, softly smothered.
Sculpted statues stand, stoic soldiers,
Silent sentinels, steadfastly shielding,
Sacred sanctuaries, secrets, sorrows,
Solemnly safeguarding silent souls.
Sensuous scents, sweet symphonies,
Swaying soothingly, swirling senses,
Savoring stolen, somber seconds,
Soulful songs soothing shattered spirits.
Seeking solace, sequestered solitudes,
Silent spaces, shared sympathies,
Serenity sought, surrendering strife,
Sacred simplicity, sublime surrender.

I Blame You, Moon
Empress of twilight and beyond, you’ve outstayed your welcome. Come alone, I asked you, yet you brought the night– libertine, fluid, and turbulent, swirling eddies through my voids, which were not for its blackness to fill. My silences were not your invitations.
