''Dear God, Can I Have a Moment''
Dear God, I know you are real busy up above,
But could I have a moment to talk to you;
Things are not so good here, we could use some love,
You sent your son for us, then to heaven he flew.
You tried God, but is seems...

Jesus Messiah As Climate BodhisattvaTo my sisters,
and narrow-way brothers,
in Jesus Christ
as Supreme UnitingWealthyStates
sustainable legal/moral Savior
I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,
the Religious Right
and Republican Party Center
were about the same place;
not distinguishable,
inscrutable, perhaps.
In strong conserving defense of retail-commodified AntiChristmas,
wrapped in Fundamentally-Wrong Christian
and Way-Not-True Roman Catholic Orthodox
Never-Even-Think-About-Change-Or-Evolution as...

Prose Poetry
Winter DreamTrees bending overhead, shadows fully employed
Fish resting 'neath the surface, their camouflage enjoyed
Abundant insects frolicking, diving and skimming the stream
Predators hungrily watching, nature's bountiful cuisine
Anglers stealthily wading, with implements designed
Perilous imposters, dancing on a line
Imitation insects, alluring and derailing
The angler flicks his wrist, often times...

Ocean Dolphins-"Lo! the dolphin dotes laughs
My passion is the maritime coast
'Ocean!' said I, 'thing of seawater.'
Oceans dolphins
In a kingdom full of coastlines
Eagerly I looked for the seaway
I crave the marine, more mare
That up bound jellyfish - that unbound jellyfish
I felt compelled to sniff the territorial...

Dramatic Monologue
DisruptionLunch with a friend
Conversation flows
A ring of the phone
Our talking froze
She chooses to answer
I look annoyed
Our time together
Has now been destroyed
I stare at my plate
While being ignored
Five minutes pass
I'm getting bored
Was the call business?
No, just idle chatter
Derailing the mood
For an irrelevant matter
Keeping my calm
An...

I Hope You Know I'Ll Always Love YouI am what you call a hopeless
romantic,
But im also a lost lovers cause, my
heart belongs to another
Yet in my head a love triangle starts
to form, the girl I love doesn’t love
me
She holds the heart to another and
mine caged to the...

Guilty ConscienceHead pounding
Heart breaking
you feel that shake
the earth is quakeing
"I will stand alone"
What the hell was I thinking
Ending every chance for friendship
See all this hate I've been making
I seek forgiveness
A new quest I'm taking
But to open up and fall
The result will be devastating
I'm stuck not knowing...

The Supernova of EmptinessPathetic, the word I just can't seem to outrun
it beats me to alley-way exits, creating dead to ends, enclosed places
Defeated, it might as well be the twin
The effects, they refuse to cease yet love to seize me
I've made so many plans, so many plans to...

Sweet DreamsSweet rest falls from that haven of old
And rainbows tie the dream-cloth shut
And who can know what joys they hold
In sweet derailing sleepy thoughts
And rainbows tie the dream-cloth shut
And who dare take to untie those knots
In sweet derailing sleepy thoughts
Of slender ties and diamond gold
And...

SheThoughts of her rob my slumber.
She burglarizes my rest.
She pervades my life,
into my dreams.
She is the locomotive
derailing my train of thought.
I have no reign over myself.
My infatuation grows daily.
In this I lose control
as I watch my heart wander....

Narrative Born From Subconscious Chaos: ManifestationThere is a moment in the night, in the shower, in the quiet, that exist in its own temporal bubble
and you are within it, stuck like flies to tape, as if at any moment you will launch away in sporadic patterns of flight.
Instead,...

Paulette -2She pirouettes at the hall of fame,
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight
As silky red wings are in glaring flame,
She pirouettes in the hall of fame
Red Swan of Night is Paulette’s name.
While audience applause from left to right,
She pirouettes at the hall of fame
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight.

Captivated By His WordsCaptivated By His Words
By: E. C. Almonte (Apples&Eve)
A strong couple once molded cannot be separated.
The world we live in is beautiful.
It’s we who create these deceitful ways.
The four layers of bright light beamed down depicted the gates of heaven,
As I hung my...
