The Dissolving Heart
“The Dissolving Heart”
How many keys
played for seeds
bleeding a life
read, received
cast out
in the left field
planted in the heart
of karma to become
new life reflecting
inwards out to another
holding the echoing
music kept safe
still heard
and felt
for what it is
keys
and notes
found...

Men Bleed a River Before They CryA knife stab on a man
Hurts as much on a kid
He has to remain mum
A brave face to cede
A woman on his side, on the other a son
Two souls to shield, emotions never freed
He has strength to lift a tonne
And more to make his tears...

Shadows of the ValleyO' moment
of mist-glazed melancholia ~
I'm shrinking in paper-cut smokes
of shrivelling sunsets,
amidst the seizures of silence, there I surf ~
in swollen skulls of selfless swan-orchids,
that once splattered pigments of poisoned pearls
upon navy-neon shrine of the sun,
who traded my scars with an...

Her Love Is PatientSurfing a mind obstructed with Cupid's arrow
was like bleeding a river that flowed upwards,
towards an angry volcano having nightmares.
A volatile internal rumble craving relief,
only in eruption.
Such was his fury with the thought
of her very existence.
Just as braving the flow of molten rock
was like telling the...

The Plague of AnxietyOn Sunday, the sweet soft tone of the choir was muted
The church pews were brimming with dust
Ushers were unable to give directions
For even the congregation was stuck up in isolation
Preachers had to minister to the echo of their own voices
No trace of humanity has witnessed...

Sitting By the Pool Until the Devil Drops ByFor an instant we are sunned and golden, lounging by the pool,
An arch suspended like a bridge, or cathedral, above our satisfaction,
And while eyes behind sunglasses narrow to slumber
Our dreams play a degraded video:
First, the devastation that rains upon us all—a stealthy palsy, a...

The Violin PlayerTHE VIOLIN PLAYER
Poised chin, resting warmly in the tailored cup,
Seals the union.
The smooth bow tenderly caresses each tuned string;
Fingers gentle as milk
Roam the slender mahogany neck: sweetly
Stealing silence.
The ebony hued harmonic...

Sacred LoreleiThe night has befallen me
Rescue me, unchain me

Bleeding a passion of royalty
Forever I'll follow your Argentine cloak
with the most deadly pacts
beautiful Witch

Tell me did the ravens Hear my cry
My misery's plea
Sacred Lorelei
Was this all just upon a dream
Lucidity becoming reality
of my Sacred...

Beautiful MonsterYou bring out my inner feel, although I am not sure who you are. Might it be a collaborative collage of power to heal this man of a thousand hearts, all broken? Romance has forever sunk its sappy soul motive teeth into my veins. Bleeding...

MaximsThere are some who say that marriage is old-school and out of style…
Yet single-parent families still devastate the child.
Some claim that the old writers are problematic, their works should burn…
But human nature doesn’t change and the old lessons we must learn.
Others would disown history if...

Our BabyScary dreams, darkened skys,
down from the sky, angels cry,
tummy clutched in shaking arms,
dont it dare be there, or gone,
once to be a mother at fifteen,
lost in blood and stress and drugs,
from a prisoner of rape, to one day able to be free,
darkened dreams, falling skys,
up...

Please Tell Me LifeLife is but a poem,
With a lot of oxymoron subjects.
I looked into those tranquil eyes
That face reminded me of a beautiful poem.
She used to walk on a fine line, in my mind
Between faith and frustration.
In tiny steps, little by little.
In my memory, I greeted...

The BellCan you hear the bell ringing in your ears?
You're on the floor looking at your girl kissing another guy, so what you gonna do now?
You stand up and put your dukes up!
No person can ever win if they always give up!
You tell yourself you're not...
