The Kill

Swift arrow took the beast
Yet when it flew from its string
Time slowed to almost nothing
A heavy sound as it found purchase
Brought time back to normal
Sorrow mixed with victory
As the hunter surveyed his kill
Beauty taken surrounded by beauty
A necessary evil to sustain life
Dragging the carcass to his cave
He turned back only to find
The body he drug was his own

 

The Black Number

The black went on forever
Time and space forgotten
An eternity that began
Where my hands and fingers
Touched the fabric
Hugging her curves

 

Live and let live

Caught in a battle
Between sun and moon
When no fight is needed
Simply agree
To let the ocean live
And bring forth life
To the world

 

Jaded

Dogs will bite
Flowers wilt and die
Winter always comes
Bringing ice and death

 

The Road to El Dorado

Stumbling in the wilderness
The trees weaving a labyrinth
Each stone, each fallen log
Same as the last
Where is the road to civilization?
And is it paved or covered in mud?

 

Forest Fire

Was I ever living?
Asked the tree of himself
Thinking back over the years
Watching the wildlife pass by
Only now aware, engulfed in flame
Hoping to give birth
To a legacy
