Sharing poetry

 

Black crow's rasping voice sings without melody,

breaking silence like shattered shells, 

once held against an innocent ear, 

that a child might hear the sea.

Searching into blues dark deep,

Paper flowers of poetry unfold;

Each coloured petal opening.

to tell a tale untold. 

 

Broken blackness, glistening eyes,

worlds of words like butterflies;

flowering, fruiting, seeding, sowing, growing -

sharing, poetry flies.

Dreamer

 

Ripples cascade through night's deep pool

Stars skim the satin surface of darkness

Like dreams beneath a sleeping eye.

 

Silver born wings through empty space 

gently touch moon's sleeping face

Fluttering lids, like butterflies wake.
