I COVET A CLOSURE

A priceless picture peeps.
Into me, a diagram digs deep.
Incisions by an invaluable image.
My emotions suffer a sentimental spillage.
The fascinating figure of a full moon.
Beauty is beyond beautiful balloons.
A stranded structure that speaks elegance.
Sophistication maintains a sincere stance.
A precious pattern with a posture.
I’m a poet that covets a closure.

ANOTHER MAN DOWN.

Ripples ransack a river.
It isn't cold causing her shiver.
A beretta has been tossed beneath.
The water has become a holster and a sheath. Whereabouts of a murder weapon unknown.
The cover is absolutely yet to be blown.
Police profoundly pacing about a province.
Concealing remains one of this river's sins.
The weapon willingly waits without a word.
Still the police parades with guns and swords.
So sad the suspect is still at large.
The police cannot form a criminal charge.
The river remains an accessory after the fact.
Doesn't make the culprit less guilty of his act.
