Love and Loss
Lovely lark song leaking through
the lime green leaves
of low lithe trees
letting love and lies linger in the blue.
Standing somberly in the streets
sobbing sorrowfully
stakeout for she
someone who slipped through the sheets.
Solitary soul of summer’s scratch
scars from winter
and skins the slur
of subtle screams ears catch.
Nevermore the near notion
not a night nor
day next before
narrating neurotic devotion.
Dare me darkness, delightful
demons that brag
dogs that drag
deathly, demented, soul.
Loss and love let little lie
taint their lessons
living light cleanse
let be lurking laugh and die.
Vow a very vindictively truth
vivacious narrow
vicious below
victory varies with death.
