Thieves

 

Thoughts
ever greedy
for more
and more

rake roots
scour for deepest desires
scan skies
seize mystery, majesty
fearless fancy
flight of frenzy

scuttle,  steal
the wanted
and the unwanted

hue of rose
whiff of sandalwood
sting, venom
ingest, digest
sundrop on frost
sacred in silence
hurt, healing
love, loss
peacock plumage
of oil spillage
on still waters

stun guards
sail through gates
light as air
thick as thieves
