  coins
a violet fish
    in the deep blue
 rain falls
breathes
 in  black
  & love with rainbows
 spiral down
  to  caress
blue velvet
where
  yellow butterflies
reside
& poppies grow
&a red carnation
 bursts
  then smiles
at the crescent
 moon
 a drop of dew
    upon the shadow
of a spiders web
brush
the firmament...

loneliness
does not sleep
   weariness
grows
shadows
    of
 fire
  flame splashes
