** Possibilities In Blue**

Newborn blue blinks awake
Unaccustomed to the world
And still bright with hope
A pool for tears not fallen
And a #bank for passion's flames
A dancefloor for laughter
In the midst of a storm
But when they meet
The eyes of death
Will the living have
Washed them out
To grey?

**Kraken's Keepers**

Roiling anger
Breaks
The ocean blue
Destruction
Coiled ready
Voices
In the air
Murmur soft
The waves
Return, return
We wait
The siren song of
The deep
Lulls
The #kraken
To sleep
And it sinks
Back
To the dark below
The surface
Stills
And the world
Returns
To calm
Once more

**Snowscape**

Arctic wildflowers splash colour in a permanent blanket of clouds
Mist curling damp fingers around an aching heart
Punctuated by the vibrance of blue pygmy #lupine & purple saxifrage
Starburst sunsets spilling smiles onto the solemn winter frost
The warmth within the cold

**Midnight Fantasy**

Time creeps by
Too slowly
Seconds like hours
While I wait
For the moment
When darkness slips
Across the night
When I can
Forget for a minute
Weave shadows
Into the memory of you
Watch them play out
On sorrows still surface
Grief is a midnight reverie
And life goes on
Regardless

**In Justice**

It is no minor thing
That justice has never been
As blind as it vows to be
For anyone not granted
Manifest destiny
Last in line perhaps
When it comes to
Balancing the scales
But in no way less
Than crusaders who claim
Themselves first
By virtue of a title
That was never a birthright

I was born half mad and also mostly insane
Trapped in a midway to nowhere at the end of my rope
Counterfeit execution dangling innocent out of reach
Wrath tangled and lost to the sacrifice of sleep
The nightlife pulses rhythmic with insomnia's beat
And I'm dancing dreams in demonia
