Just Under the Three

Just Under the Three


an improbability they cry
a refusal to see beyond
to catch the trick of the eye

she had 4 faces you see
Day and Night,
Love and Death

elusive she was
she thought to hide besides
the folds of our dimensions

but a trained eye can believe
that hidden behind the three
her true face can be seen

that trained eye was me
i saw into a parallel dimension
and i did see

beauty that astounded me
such a lovely one hidden
just under the three

but peering into a fourth
it peeled my brain
shades now haunt my gaze

even though i point to them
declare all i have seen
they shun that which I believe.

Tuesday’s Bliss

Tuesday’s Bliss

i come to the park on tuesdays
the pond here sings
ripples echo her song

i bring my strings to strum
to play along with her melody
joy resonates in the harmony
of sounds separated by time

on days it rains, I do not stay
at home in the dull and worn
i bathe in the drops and watch
as the song changes

her voice always carried
the mood of the ether
from joy and love
to its end in the abyss

I strum my strings by the pond
willfully ignoring, pretending bliss
