I collect Spores, Molds, and Fungus.

moving the night closer

a return:
love rekindled.  In the silence
of me
I see
me, staring back
with a knowing smile.
it was only a matter
of time.
no matter where I stray,
the good stuff
is right here,
at home
inside,
with me.

lets burn this motha’ down.

feelin’ it

first glance
first hello
sometimes,
sometimes you just know.
know in your heart
know in your toes
that this ain’t one to ever let go.

there is no
before,
there is only
now.

a lifetime of nows
strung
together
on
the thin
thread
of
love.

would you like a thimble?
i got two.

Silence

~ nomisyar

after the herons
and sparrows and
geese
have gone.

after the laughter erupts;
and
the tears are shed;
and
the merriment made,

i turn,

and
there
you
are.

Fifty miles away,
or fifty seconds?
you are never further
than right
here,
beside
me.

on this night
of kings and shepherds;
in the deepest silence,
I find
you.

only,

you.

Heron

pounding
against cold morning air.
wings of wonder
carry him west,
alone.

as his brothers
skeined south,
across the winter sky,
he alone
sought a new way.

lost with purpose
and confused
with passion,
he beats furiously
at the past
until he weeps.

and then beats some more.

they call him wise
and ask for direction.
they call him wanderer
and beg for tales.
but they never call him
friend,
and offer love.

but,
on this day,
the future calls.
perhaps peace awaits-
for some short time.

fly my friend,
and thank you.

Traveler’s Lament

~ nomisyar ~ Leave a comment

wishing
&
hoping
to turn back
the wheels of time….

or
at least….
get a do over?

i don’t know how,

but, yes,
i certainly know why.

but why
must we both lose that
which lifts
us
up?

why?

i gave what i could,
but
i could give more.
Damn it,
let me
give you more.

i know an easier road
will take me away
from you.

i know an emptier path
will keep me from knowing
you.

i know
the path i seek
is the path
leading
directly
to you.

a path of loving kindness
a path of more, not less
a path of tenderness
a path of togetherness

i can travel the world ten times over
and never find
the wonders i uncovered
right here
with you.

you.

Clarity Conquered

~ nomisyar ~ Leave a comment

hot air
blurs
and shimmers,
confusing truth
with
fantasy,
and desire.

stripped
of flame
or the want
of a touch,
moments of clarity
last an eternity.

focus blindly
in this dark
with no moon to
light your way,

and your destiny
will come to you
-to laugh.

fool of a man,
you are the fire
you are the source of all desire.

fear not the confusion
fear not to fall
fear not
fear not
fear not at all

trust in that inferno
seething within your chest.
fear not to give
light to the dark.
give your gifts.
give your love.
save your pain
but gift your all.

the world
needs
you.

i
need
you.

cold clarity invites death.

live a little, and
come
burn with me
you little devil-
come burn and dance and dream to the sounds of fiery rapture.

whispers continued, a soleful solstice

~ nomisyar

winter
or
summer,
the story remains
the same.

unchanged
and haunted,
do not pity a
trusting fool.

hope,
forever
lost and
hidden
from love’s true form,
spirals
within the
horrific void
of
doubt,
and fear.

self-inflicted hurts
bury the soul
in shame.
self inflicted shame
buries the soul
in hurt.

so,
there is only faith.

lightly whispered in the wind.

faith that the path
through the darkness,
will come back
to me.

faith
in the eternal nature of the spark within.

faith,
that hope shall spring again.

faith,
that beauty knows my name.

faith,
in the wisdom of my way.
