Redemption
Redemption 
She slowly uncoiled her gray streaked hair that fell to her waist. She removed her 
spectacles to see more clearly the windswept icy snow clinging to the branches. A 
pause, settling something deep within; then her gaze shifted to me.
I reached out, but found...

Premium Member The Outsider
Everything seems
So strange to me
This isn’t where I belong
I’m a stranger
On borrowed land
An outsider
In a silence that’s awkward
Heavy and bizarre
Unholy and surreal
An outcast 
With empty birdfeeders
Swaying in the breeze
And flies circling
As if upon a cadaver
Time warped elapsing 
In an ungodly fashion
I’m a foreigner
Unable to get...

Free Verse Fever
the arc of this air rising like smoke
amidst the nival flora of hills
trails against gun-powder skies
with barrels drawn my mind pivots
in the anguish of yesteryear's pain

i cower like this sun beneath clouds
unwilling to lift the veil of eyes
and see the crimson splatter awaken
in the momentary...

Premium Member Fascination
A luminescent shimmer of stars,
bright as they were dancing
all aligned in perfect formation
With whispers in the air, romancing.

I thought I caught the subtle shift,
Time elapsing into space
As the moonlight drew its radiance
It was a delectable little taste.

How could I ever dare to dream,
When the universe...

Mcdonald Hamburger and a Cup of Coffee
I wonder what he was thinking, the man 
mounted on a stool, with his elbows resting on the bar, 
eating a Big Mac and sipping coffee from a McCafe coffee cup. 

The outside view he was watching through the glass wall 
is the flickering lights...

Old Uncle's Pocket Watch
OLD UNCLE’S POCKET WATCH

It sticks in the memory now:
First the elapsing day,
Then weeks, months, years,
All shown in a second  then.
It stared not into the future or past.
Its ticks measuring,
Collapsing the moment
Into a non-stop chain
Of silver links,
Its bright case
Stored  timeless  pictures....

Our Journey
In a house of butter, sleep, solaced by an arcane gold
Lined with velvet carpets coy in lavish modesty.
Dulcet tones elapsing past the sundry finished chambers
Forever home though you know not, in all its bogus truth.

Sine qua non until by storm one’s armor will be melted
A...

At Times
At times I tell the most in mind
Thoughts escaping elapsing day to night
At times I close my eyes as blind
Absorbing sound vibrations passing by passing by

At times I spend inflicted intelligently gifted
Whirlwind words spin consciousness lifted collapse
At times I begin minds mend acknowledging indifference
Earthquake emotions...

Tribute Five
You are also a passerby 

Even such is time that flies away with hopes of
Being mortal. Even to say you are a millionaire
The minute to call goodbye is indeed inevitably 
Crafted and awaits for man is known to get weary 

Having huge amounts in bank...

Hauntings
All the neon lights at sight 
Wont fill the void in your bed 
Im the void 
All your marxisms stand corrected 
The anarchists rejected 
Will your sullen doctrines console you at nignt? 
Weather the storms  , joan 
Cannot withstand solitude? 
But The buendías can...

Just a Light Crossover
The elapsing of the year gets almost everyone busy, 
listing things to do and not to;  
What to leave out or cross over with
Recreating the disfigured concepts of one's entity,
Refilling the unfilled rows and columns of a mystery,

It is  like a bridge paradoxically...

Raid Versus Woe
Raid versus woe

Black flag(s) show up
on social media platforms
when potential homicidal maniac(s)
communicate(s) intent to strike
with ambush and ready
read - able, eager, and willing
to embark upon murderous rampage.

Prospective killer armed to the teeth
usually a young bucking male
between ages of eighteen and twenty five
wielding, targeting subjects then...

Panic Overdose
A racing heart out of my chest
Looking like I’m possessed

Hearing numbed down and blocking
Moving vision section after section
A pictured world laughing and mocking

Times elapsing 
When wills this end
Will this stay for life or just pretend

No one can calm me
The fear, so scared
The closest to death...

Going Dark
Forgive me that I haven’t died,
My illness is just temporary, 
The entire world has raged 
For me, but my sickness
Will eventually pass.

I shall hike underground,
Where my heart is now a tomb.
Where waves of fire
Burn my cheek 
And turn the day in continual night.

Dark days, I...
