Tragic to Magic


Mother


Lamb prances through fields of clover
Kitty follows emboldened with delight
Amity cleaved by unspeakable horror
Coal dust sprinkled within a child's heart
Tragic

One, then two, have become forlornly lost
Blood paints red the bathroom with love
Ichor drips from womb to executive blade
Pen dances across a Lilly white contract 
Devastation

Broken in spirit, she spies foreign lands
Quilt patched anew with threadbare linen
Larvae blanketed within Godlike leaves
Sunlight trumpets the benevolent Monarch
Emancipation

Painstakingly, freedom is knit from truth
Disquiet prevails until a frog she doth kiss
Army man brandishes her golden sword
United by pneuma, steely dragons are slain
Unification

Winter frost cuddles the moonlit garden
Festooned upon the vine are blackened fruit
Blue bags peppered with lumps of coal
Upon the battlefield, her soul is rendered
Surrender

Truth fluently dispatches the heart of fear
Love prevails beyond the darkest night
This witness bows in sight of light divine
Mother guiding her son toward God
Magic








Son



Bleating babe, crimson mother drains
Kin amble forth, empty pockets proffered
Ink-stained covenant, state proxy severs
Love tore asunder, lost lamb fractured
Tragic

Blackened angel flees to adventitious lands
Infant reared by treasurer's golden coin
Abandonment, the rental child thrashed
Renunciation, a horse saddled to Hell's gate
 Devastation

Self-loathing strikes a befouled heart 
Mirror shards reflect thirsty demons 
Chainsaw flashes hungry teeth, a pause
Sunbeam challenges the murk
Emancipation

Epiphany of love, a journey commences
Raven innocent, breathes upon a cold stone
Compassion dressed for the grand ball
Love holds fear to the bosom
Unification

Agglutinated self by gritty willpower
Assembled mass polished, then dusted
Broken doll gifted motherly wisdom
Spirit emboldens a weary waif
Surrender

Fearful cries dispelled by grace
Together, they reach for tomorrow
Peaceableness, tranquillity, adoration
Son cuddles mother's grey hand
Magic

Dove's Journey









Dove's Journey


My Love, you were a happy child. 
Innocence suckling nature's bosom. 
Sweet squeals launch a carefree pixie. 
Perfection is embodied in a babe's spirit. 

Gleeful energy, drawing a hunter's eye. 
Fangs salivate upon the porcelain doll. 
Bolt launched from the beast's quiver. 
A wooden needle protrudes from the heart. 

Invisible fetter from sliver to stone. 
Enslaved Dove forced to perform. 
Animal slakes his ghastly hunger. 
The inevitable consumption of purity. 

Survival requires Dove to closet truth. 
Stalkers feast on the ravaged puppet. 
Crimson stains on the pearly dress. 
Courageous, she emerges tattered. 

Enter Raven, passionate plea extended. 
Dove discovers shelter from a storm. 
Love, gifting her a moment of respite. 
One season free of salacious teeth. 

Raven must depart for distant lands. 
Dove reels, as lustful huntsmen clamour. 
Turmoil ensues, a nipping of heels. 
She escapes, and freedom now beckons. 

Mate is found, nest firmly built. 
Safe with family, yet unease rings. 
Images of Raven wrestle her calm. 
Abandoned heart, an empty echo. 

Autumn leaves curry frosty soil. 
Nest soon she finds empty. 
Sunset reveals Raven's shadow. 
Dream or reality, she reaches. 

The vision of beauty, a long-lost melody. 
Tears rendered, love never forsaken. 
Sated spirit peacefully basking. 
                                 Dove embraces her Raven.                                             
     

 




Raven's Journey





Raven's Journey




My Love, you were a happy child.

The lone toddler of a hopeful couple.

Smiles, laughter, bathing in the abode.

Perfection is embodied in a babe's spirit.




Fragile, the nest teeters in a spring gale. 

His delinquent father was lost to shackles. 

Mother drops her crimson cleaver.

A wooden needle protrudes from his heart.




Rejected waif tossed to a filthy curb.

Civic stooge vends forsook nestling.

Desertion destroys the imp's frail psyche.

The inevitability of purity consumed.




Over one hundred nests did he dwell.

Persona spirals into abject depravity.

The mirror reflects an iniquitous beast.

Courageous, he emerges tattered.




Enter Dove, passionate plea extended.

Raven discovers shelter from a storm.

Love gifting him a moment of respite.

One season free of salacious teeth.




Broken, he deserts a weeping Dove.

Shattered, tumbling into the abyss.

Ebony crockery shards need sweeping. 

He escapes, freedom now beckons.




The maternal hand returns a loving touch.

Mountain journey must he travail.

Familial nest uneasily occupied.

Abandoned heart, an empty echo.




November blanket of ivory white.

Eternally searching for innamorata lost.

Cyber signature sparks ineffable hope.

Dream or reality, he reaches.




A vision of beauty, a long-lost melody. 

Joy untold, holding dear a lost muse. 

Exhalation, love within the nest.

Raven embraces his Dove.

Dove Imbibes Raven

                        





Dove Imbibes Raven 




Dove Imbibes Raven 




My Loves, you were happy children

Carefree treasures gifted to the world

Futures rife with untold potential 

Perfection embodied in a babe's spirit




Stolen from the Dove, innocence, joy 

Pneuma wrenched from her being

Staked to a tree, abused, molested

Wooden needle protrudes from heart




Raven weaned from a granite bosom 

Alone in the cold night, destitute

Broken child grasping the emptiness

The inevitability of purity consumed




Dove buries pain, a rancorous legacy

Raven immolates identity in disgust

Tentative steps in search of freedom

Courageous, they emerge tattered




Dove to Raven, passion extended

Raven and Dove shelter from a storm 

Love gifting them a moment of respite 

One season free of salacious teeth




Dove cowers, Raven acquiesces, they part

Lovers reel, barking dogs voraciously feed

Two worlds spin wildly out of control

They escape, freedom now beckons




Separate lives they forge from plastic 

Secure, yet profoundly unfulfilled

Visions of the other gnaw their peace

Abandoned hearts, empty echoes




Harvest moon cuddles a winter sky

Divinity paves a road to unification

Tenth-hour bell peals an invite

Dream or reality, they reach




Vision of beauty, a long-lost melody

Blissful fusion, Dove captures Raven

Raven bows, lays bare his heart

Dove and Raven finally embrace
