emerald castles torn from earth
thrash above us
violently
beasts and belles
together fly
like sparrows
in her rageful eye
though mother’s mouth
is strong as steal
it wilts and dies
like you and I
when things come down
we’ll rest with her
in satin sheets
so tenderly
“The Storm” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
floating through autumn,
he tastes something sweet
in orange and burgundy
leaves
as they fall
snow on the back
of the heat
as it travels
to spring
in the lands that are far
far away

beauty lazing
on a Sunday
soaking in the Summer’s flame.
golden peaches
drinking morning
from a fountain in the sky
Now,
All the embers
of the daylight
smolder in my empty bed
til the starlight
whispers softly
sleep away the world tonight

Climb a mountain
with the thorns
of singing roses
on your lips
kiss me slowly
true and quiet
so I’ll learn
the pain of love

The Truest Thing We’d Ever Known by Cardboard cities
Visit the Cardboard Cities shop
watching the ocean flirt with the shore
from the rough
green sea bluff
that the sunlight ignores
it chases, then follows, then flows through itself
as I do
when I’m blue
as a hollow farewell

Oh
Bright Blue Nakedness of morning
How you mock me
with your brittle grin.
Life is cold
And truth is dead
but still you hang above
with love and peace beyond our reach

Take all your stars
far
far away
but leave me a single, fresh fountain of white
to blow on my windows
and glow in the night
and I’ll howl
at my window til shadows take flight

Life is a fragmented experience
A flurry unfocused
Art creates magnetic moments, drawing us in
pulling us apart
Simultaneously shielding and revealing
Pushing us to relinquish and reclaim
Opposing ideas meet
Brawl
then into one another they bleed
creating a truth beautifully cohesive
