THUNDER TRYST

Thunder flash stars crash
in the darkness striking sparks of light
the leaves Quiver and
the trees trunks shiver
as the night flashes and crashes around them
There’s no need for light on that dark night,
a shadow within shadows the dark one goes to the river
Between the trees that tremble and blaze
as a spark catches quick lightning
the king’s path the lover’s shadowed tender walk
the river waters flow round him
fluid as spilt ink on ebony skin,
a kiss that lights a spark
till the night blazes
thunder flash stars crash falling


HE DIDN’T COME

dear one why so down?

heart's outrage, petulance, anger
and an empty train the special that ran
from mathura wheels singing speed
no heart stopper on board
no text of explanation
