Premium Member There Is An Elephant In the Room
The big headlines cause sensation,
Media’s chosen information.
Manipulative, they entomb
the big elephant in the room.

Stress is put on the suggestive
keeping tongue and the mind active.
They sweep aside with furtive broom
the big elephant in the room.

Gain is high on the agenda
grabbing votes in referenda.
They hide, on purpose,...

Premium Member Changing Sky
My weeping eyes behold the changing sky
O'erspread with clouds of grey where once was blue
With gaze upturned, I heave a burdened sigh
At all the world now changed to leaden hue
Yet still they onward, ever onward fly
And more appear to change the sky anew
And now, as...

Premium Member au revoir, au phare -
again …

here I am -
a glum ghost
a somber shadow
I have come to dream

to pledge duty, your gleam
to venerate your foreday liturgy
ah, and mend the mist - the magical mist
another mercurial morn creature such as we

ever cautiously coy in its dark, shifting purpose
with foggy fingers it...

Premium Member Dark Halls
Once
these corridors 
echoed with life
a citadel for restoration
of body and mind
a bastion of promise
for the tormented
to the outside world
it had many names
Forest Lawn Sanitarium
was its Nome de plume

I--- simply called it--- home

In its day
it was of grand design
cathedral ceilings
hung with crystal chandeliers
finest draperies form fitted
to...

Listless Gaze
transfixed
I stumble down
shifting halls of
my angst my
distress
a cold stale breath
stagnates and permeates
its doom
onto my essence.

beguiled
I entomb myself
in the moment
asphyxiating
flailing
clawing
grasping for
desperately
disintegrating walls.

abdicated
I capitulate to
the lair
that cold cavity
pit of dread
that
pool of tears
where my devotion
thrashes plangently.

interred
in the filth
of want
of need
of putrefying wonder
entombed within
every pore
every inch
of my desolation.

moribund
I turn...

Premium Member For a Lost Muse
I sat today, thinking of you.
So, I thought selflessly.
It was a disgusting day too.
The dogs bayed helplessly

At the mountain of fog.
The tall clouds unburdened
Into filthy manholes.
It rained and poured a flood.

In a quiet mind, there it waits
Your poetry, our song.
I felt fine, yes, but who...

Delirium Divides
In the corner of my room,
you’ll find many a decentralizing delirium dust
Where my mind does consume, 
peripheral visions of a malevolent distrust
Deprivations that entomb, 
metabolic disturbances of cunning combust
Temporal lesions loom,
of psychotic disorders in a state of thriving thrust.

I see you but cannot touch, 
thru...

Premium Member Cycle of Life
Life germinates in the springtime,
to blossom in summer's warm embrace.
And then autumn weaves its death shroud,
before winter snows entomb it.

To blossom in summer's warm embrace,
long days accelerate life's growth.
And plants prosper under the sun,
till shorter days diminish light.

And then autumn weaves its death shroud,
painted orange,...

Premium Member The 24 Knives of September
Twilight, the phantoms of the past cavort
Willow trees bending to the winds of change
Eternity in the darkness of autumn nights
Never knowing whether I shall live or die
Tell me why my blood must feed the piercing thrusts
Yell and scream at me, I no longer fear my...

Memory of a Past Lover
She was my first true lover
our love was as an outlaw
not adhering to any set of rules
in the age of free love, we loved for free...

From German Town she came
coming to triumph over the sun
in the stage of my life that was the moon
for my...

Penny Dreadful
Pure girl, the fallen angel does possess
Envelops her, unwanted legacy
No way out, fighting fate is her life's test
Night’s blackest suitors are her destiny
Youth’s betrayed friend, to rescue she risks all

Dark paranormal quest, what will they find?
Redemption or damnation may befall
Endgangered soul is tortured by her...

In Another World
In another world
In another world ,would i be the same?
why cant i live in my illusional paradise
and invent my own world with a painted shelter?
with a grass so green and roses that glow
with a mother's heart so pure like a mountainfall
with innocent little toes that...

Destiny of the Dispossessed
As you flee behind you hear
Your hate filled screaming foes
Pillaging and burning
Their tutored hatred beyond reason
For no reason
Loudspeakers hastily erected amongst the rubble
Play a dirge of victory
As they hold a pyrrhic parade

As you flee to who knows where
North, south, east or west? 
Don't know. Don't...

Premium Member When I Died
When I died a queen in ancient Egypt it was the custom,
           To entomb the powerful with all their earthly wealth;
On the walls of my tomb were paintings depicting my journey,

Interlude
I walked by the light of the silver moon
Where winds blow and aspens quiver;
Where the streams sing an amusing tune
To the far away river.

This is a time for tears and song
A tender touch and love's sweet laughter;
Could the night hold us too long
If we love...
