A Farmer's Right Proud
Tilling the fields ‘neath a hot blazing sun
Removing the weeds when the rain's pouring down
Baling the hay in the heat and humidity
Breathe the dust of the chicken coop, abject...

Black Hole Love - Updatedgrab your pail, we'll clean the sea
fetch a comb to coiff the sub-Saharan sand
don't fall for burning cities
to be eternalized as a pinnacle of table salt
pinch me, porfa!
looking up or down—
that's some health insurance umbrella
perilous looking back
psychics looking forward
irresponsible
pronouncing words
over Tomorrow's world
should you be dissolved
by inquisitors' hands
furious...

ReaperThe Reaper I know,
You respect no one.
When you decide to take one home,
Age, color, accomplishments mean nothing to you
In your court.
You harvest every soul
At your most convenience.
In life's prime and low, you strike hard
Without any consideration.
You cause unexplained weeping
And a void that will never be filled. You take when you want,
Without...

A night at a graveyardA gossamer hung on the graveyard's gate.
A spider clung to steel, consuming its meal.
It had no need to know dinner was served late,
Nor sensed ghostly keels the summer winds conceal.
The owls flew on, unperturbed by midnight's scare,
That made dead men howl silently in each grave,
Fresh ghosts were blown toward the gate in despair,
The gate creaked...

lovingly she opened a tungsten gate to his Heart quantum lasers sharp, her ordained healing art
penetrated a GOSSAMER of silver spider-webs
drew slightly aback to allow patu marplesi to ebb
GHOSTLY armoured soldiers wandered within
from Constantinople fields to Berlin yields spin
filling spirant space with unearthly eerie...

Gate for the DeadBuilt in the middle of Nowhere,
A gate of turquoise, very rare,
A sculptor carved a figurehead,
The gate was built to guard the dead.
It's best to come on full-moon night,
for the dead don't care for sunlight.
GHOSTLY music is often heard,
And one unidentified word.
It's said, on a September date,
GROANING is heard near the big gate.
GRIEF-STRICKEN singing to the...

Gate of Undefined Infinity
“Fear of death is fear of surrender to Infinity.”
~ Adi Da Samraj
In my fevered state, I sought the godforsaken
sounds of the gossamer strings of the harp.
It was hours of grave thoughts before I would awaken
to the ghostly groaning of my mind’s steep scarp.
Grief-stricken, I lie staring through closed eyes
listening to the beat of my heart...

Grave DiggerCan't get you to understand.
I already know your kind.
You're really blind.
Maybe, a sign,
to you, will be given.
To make you change,
your way of living.
I'm through with always giving.
It's only your grave,
that you're digging....

Gate to our Eternity "Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity."
--Khalil Gibran
She returns here every May sixteenth,
the day she was to marry.
I saw her GHOSTLY visage there
at the GATES of the cemetery.
I went, as I've done everyday,
to lay flowers upon her GRAVE.
I, the GRIEF-STRICKEN groom
just striving to be brave.
Just as the...

Her long dress of GOSSAMER touched the ground.
She walked and reached almost at centre.

Beware The Gate Ahead
“Hey, look there Jim” the young girl said
“What is this old gate up ahead?
Now do you think we should go through.
I’m really game if you will too.”
We’ll have to clear these sticks away
and find the latch - what’s that you say?
You don’t think we should touch the gate?
What lies beyond might not be great?
Oh, come...

The Grave Silence Over GazaI write not with anger, but with the burden of sorrow
that cannot be cleansed by diplomacy nor buried beneath the noise of geopolitics.
For in Gaza, the earth drinks the blood of children,
and the sky records the cries of mothers,
while the world—our world—calculates the cost of silence.
Under the shadow of international law,
we proclaimed the right to...
