Wings spread

designs of life

unfolding

between the filaments

as the tapestry

is woven

out of sparkling threads

against the background

of the void

Bliss created

from stardust

memories

seeds coalesce

from strands

of time

and shed

their husks

creating space

to weave

the threads

in the tapestry

of existence

Strands of stardust

woven spacetime

arranged to collect

better days

true emotions

radiant ideas

clasping truth

in the clutches

of abstraction

to be spilled

when bleeding

is necessary

–Robyn Elaine Serven

Hopes and dreams

of a better future

might be captured

in designs which

simultaneously

register

the disappointment

of a second-rate

present

and the struggle

to escape

the entanglements

of a past

constructed

out of ignorance

–Robyn Elaine Serven

The walls

around you

between us

will fall

if you stop

believing in them

–Robyn Elaine Serven

What we don’t understand

is why you can

no longer hear

Every cell taut

the totality vibrates

with tension

stress slowly drains away

too slowly

grudgingly ceding

potential

in favor of

kinetic

I tingle

becoming

again

one with my

soul

–Robyn Elaine Serven

One day

some day

in the future

probably more distant

than would be ideal

maybe the lesson

will be learned

and we can move on

to other things

–Robyn Elaine Serven

Is there really

a choice there?

–Robyn Elaine Serven

–February 13, 2009

When can we arrive

in that place?

–Robyn Elaine Serven

Can such a breach

ever be healed?

Poe’s pendulum swings

measuring the beat beat beat

of my heart

as time ebbs away

compressing my future

and the hope

of hearing Freedom’s ring

signally the day

when being gay will be okay
