The KGB shall set you free
Drowning you in the river Volga
The cold water keeping your lips tight
Whilst the silent ones spread their...

amplifies the sultry ambiance
with star spangled bursts

A slave in her entity
tremulous in her splendour 
Captivating and illuminating
this shadowy tryst
yet her heart beats not in...

Her eyes are blind to all his lies,
excuses and false alibis
The woman cuddles, silently
beside her lover, brazenly
until dawn welcomes the sunrise.

She cannot see behind his guise,
the charade she'll come to despise.
Defending him, defiantly.
Her eyes are blind ~

One day it will be no surprise,
when the veil...

If tormented truth is 
   the taste of her fire,
injecting her blood 
   with poisoned rain 
   in golden chalices, 
what is the color of 
eclipsed spheres
where there’s a 
desolated darkness 
that dwells through 
devious spirits 
to rise higher?...

I searched for the answer 
to a question I dared to ask
wondering why people hide 
behind so many masks.
The query was this:  
"What's happened to integrity
when honesty is replaced 
with deceit and insincerity?"

I had several insightful answers 
but was left in grim despair
when i...

In realms where thought and tempests meet
where shifting sands outpace the feet
a creature stirs with cunning guise
Circumlocution cloaked in darkened skies
its words like desert viper’s sting
they strike the heart then coil and cling.

Through jungles thick with tangled green
where vines obscure what might be seen
it stalks...

You sockdologizing old man-trap long decayed
where claws curl tight in dust and brittle bone
your lies are hyenas dancing in the flame
their jaws a rattle tearing flesh to stone
their laughter cracks the silence and the name
of truth that bleeds until the world has grown

In the distance I saw you there
Forgive my silly childlike stare
But lately I’ve become so aware
Of your whispers of light

You shine brighter than the rest

All night flight I’d gladly invest
For your whispers of light
 
I’m not surprised when I arrive
To...
