"Clockwork Reverie"
Tick tock — the echo mocks,
Time slips through paradox,
A ghost in velvet gloves, unseen,
Dancing deep where thoughts convene.
Murky depths and rhyming schemes,
Fractured poets chase their dreams,
Feathers inked with crimson lore,
Minutes bleeding evermore.

an orchard’s lament
Morning mist drapes each blossom
like a bride reluctant to wake.
