The Trials of Meretrix Canto I
When your befuddled mind
Forsakes upon the ragged edge
Of swirling darkness;
Where eternal night awaits
To sate upon purest innocence
Besides an open grave!
When the gravity of your perils
Be foully whispered within
Dismayed
And abject earshot;
Where salvation for despairing souls
Be so hopelessly betrayed!

Then I wouldst draw ye, Meretrix,
As I should draw...

Premium Member A Lost Kind Returns
Krummes Holz gibt auch gerades Feuer    
Crooked logs make straight fires [Work with what you have.]
 
Downcast eyes scan; the larger fear’s in deeds.
Germany thrives on the allied dollar 
having culled the herd; they bank euro collared.
I, remnant of the tribe of...

Truth Telling
Love, joy and peace
three virtues, over-simplified, 
three fairly well-understood character traits
desired by friends, rejected by very few
who live in community with others.

Patience, goodness, kindness
Patience, I readily admit is my own Achilles’ heel.
Goodness and kindness seem to overlap.
And yet I have come to understand that they...

Sock Monkey
Sock monkey,
Cozy on my shelf;
Who knows you better,
Than the memories of myself?

Tears drenched my pillow,
I held you as I cried;
Through father's drunken fury,
Together we would hide

Little sock monkey,
I'd pray that I were dead;
Helpless was dear mother,
As we laid there in my bed

Alcohol's indignity,
A father's mortal...

Stereotypes
A-	You measured me by my appearance and preconceived perceptions wondering if I fit the mold of black stereotypes;
B-	Your gaze holds a gesture of tired impatience and wonder of if I self-hate because my color of skin don’t fit the American way of life or the...

Release Or Quarantine
Demography,
Geography,
Gender.
Age.

Curb,
Obtain,
Courtship.
Parenthood.

The shape of life is staired,
Either irregularly paired,
or regularly squared.
We find shame in familiar places,
Stamp fame over unventured traces.

Bond to fulfill culture.
Pendulum swings affirming the law of nature.
Sowing coincides with reap.

As man toils to control sanity,mortality leaps.
For restricting malevolent norms unleashes explosive neferity.
Asleep or awake...

Premium Member Autumn Dream
What coincides with falling leaves?
Shorter days and longer sleeves.

So strange, the trees should now disrobe.
As snow descends upon the globe.

To bring the land to the edge of death.
Fall soon succumbs to winters breath.

Eternally chased by the bitter sting.
Autumn's one dream is to meet with the...

"Secrets"

Rest listens
while Solace succumbs
to the secrets Serenity whispers

in the the haunting frisson
time measures escape in
another level of existence

moving in the flow
like cool streams licking
warm skin laid bare submerged

then risen

this feeling coincides
with an emotion
in the mind

the heart opens
blooming
against all odds pouring

something deeper

in its ancient rhyme
the breeze...

Conversations With My Inner
Teach me how to cry
So that when it hurts I may be able to untangle what pain lies between the angles of my arteries
I want to excrete what is obsolete
To pave way for the exit of that which makes me incomplete
I want, 
To never hold...

Premium Member Let Me Tell U of My Thinking Realm
Let it be known to me and to you that the longlove, now lost, I gave to you was all forged, frought in a forevertime frame as a socio-dick-tated male rank referendum , and not a "for free" from within my inner soulstice serenity; neither...

Recollections From the Golden Cree Iii
Brackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up 
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical 
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn - 
Wherein contained: 
Foreboding dialects delivered in a 
Forgotten Gaelic tongue,
Magical incantations sung in unison -
Agelessly...

Premium Member Night Bird
Moonlight filters through the tree limbs
Leaving silhouettes of night phenomena
Just above the curb of the road there hymns
The guffawing of a nocturnal feathered fauna

Wearing a mask of colorful plumage
With eyes so round and bright they glimmer
Showing the readiness of true courage
The shadow bird is definitely...

The Hydra
Navigating the immense void of night
The right ascension to a winter’s sky;
Coincides with the height from which I stood 
Stars, interlinking crescendo’s so freely,
Imitate the centuries, as I presumed as much.

At least with one tuned in, to so many stars
The magnitude existence found, far large;
Appearing...

Today
A writer of ethics,

soldier to the spy's,

draft water of demise because he coincides,

never rectifies,

always cry's,

he's getting into it 'like disaster' but avoiding alma matter-

euuuuuu...
auuu..
auu.


Lift off of life,
...THE girls voice,

stoic frolicking,
and the fear to be annoyed-

a transverse chill emotes the climb,

we don't ever have to decide...

Logic's Song
I once saw an old man with hair 
          the color of snow and in his hand,
          He held two circulates of gold.
