White Light

Angels’ humble prints
leave us mindful of our lives
and its harder plains

 

Tempt Me

Inspiration from Anne Deneau at The Darkest Art.  Superb dock for ‘art of the dark and morbid variety’.

A visit by wicked angels
with ashen arms spread
in righteous but indigent pose
left me gorged, deflated.
I told them, ‘Speak to me only if repentant,
do not tower over castles long forgotten
or drive hoards to fantasy in dire times.
Do not tempt, shame or brainwash
with false gods and saviours.
Go, messengers – singer of slow songs
and harbingers of death
and let me sleep.

Aroma of peace
Hopes captive in shimmering
despite howling winds

Ornate season’s wish
Hopes crystallise in baubles
Keep small angels safe

Deathbed

Beatific angels
mask a maiden’s dying wish
Hell hears her heartbeat
