1.The Incomplete Hour

It's half past

an hour,

And a dove

awakes.

It's half past

an hour,

An arrow is

chosen.

It's half past

an hour,

everything is

still.

It's half past

an hour,

some mercy

is spilled.

It's half past

an hour,

instincts are

shadowed.

It's half past

an hour,

duties are

fulfilled.

It's half past

an hour,

and the dawn

breaks.

It's half past

an hour,

a trace of the

moon remains.

2.Roses

Open field, and 

I lay there

looking at the sky

Inhaling the scent of

Love, of a single

Butterfly.

There is a beat,

which followed a preexisted

Beat, and a beat after that.

Every beat spills a shade,

A shade of certain darkness.

There is a beat,
which succeeded the previous
Beat, and there will be a beat,
After that.

The field echoes the beats,
Darkness consumes,
The single butterfly. 

      ***

I still lay there,

Looking at the sky,

Beats and darkness fully around.

I search for that scent,

That scent of the love lorn butterfly.

I get none, but a question

"Do you have a rose ?"

       ***

"Do you have a rose ?"
The scent of that question,
Now prevails.
