Sonnet 243Spring sunshine, idly sparks our souls with freezing glow,
Still shy to shine, as winter's callous ghost refus'd to bow.
Yet bold like brass, thy brightness beams unto our frosty eyes,
Reluctant still, yet cannot help but gaze...

A Quiet, Rainy Day
The sky hangs heavy, draped in somber gray,
A muffled silence whispers through the trees,
The world is hushed, as if to softly pray,
A gentle stillness borne upon the breeze.
The rain descends, a soft and steady beat,
On...

If I happen to deconstruct the word
The English word for the French “un” is one

The Fall of Maleficentthe sky was torn, the heavens burned
as fate, at last, her vengeance turned
the mighty horns, the serpent’s tongue

Benign bliss burnSlipping into silence, invoking grace,
feeling within hum of bliss magnetism,
flowing in mode of release and embrace,

Eat fruits of toil and sweat only thy own,
Nor quote quotes often chewed to lose flavour,

Maleficent’s Cursedeep in the thorns where the shadows creep
where roses bleed and dreamers sleep
a horned queen waits with hollow eyes
weaving doom in silken lies
her whispers slither through the air
a viper’s kiss, a lover’s snare
her laughter cracks...

Guess WhoGuess Who?
Charles Johnson
Unwritten poems thirst and ache for love.
In the still, a heart takes flight--Guess who?
For one, a sweet besotted flame-- Guess who?

And carried you like feathers all around

And soft as flower petals scattered ‘round.
And saw you as someone who just might...

The Flickering Lamp's Fragile Grace
A fragile flame, in shadowed windswept space,
Humanity, a candle's trembling light,
We build our towers, then leave a barren trace,
And plunge from soaring heights to darkest night.
We weave grand dreams, of love and boundless art,
Then stain...

Listen to Your EyesThe windows of your soul can tell no lies ~
betray the honeyed guile that passed your lips,
and echo in the aspect of your eyes
where truth betrays a telling tear that drips.
When caught upon the tongue,...
