the pain binds and forms 
at the base of my greatest fear

Until it knocked on my door
So fierce...

Heart's Slumber
I'm a sinister shell, 
lost in bygone 
deepwaters of
gravity-less 
cerulean tears, 
that saturate 
molten sundrops, 
falling from 
zinc-plated skies, 
as heliophilic snow,
melts frosted 
memories in...

Premium Member Consider Then
News flash
Paris attacks;
Violence strikes

Innocent deaths
Terror unveils;
Death delivers

Human debris;
Bigotry unleashed

Good people die
Bloodbath escalates;
Terror unleashed

Signs of our times
Deceptive turbulence;
Mortal casualties

Moods swayed
Fear catapults;

Honest  lost
integrity futile
words misconstrued
greed rapid

Equality vanished
pensions minute
labor intensified
 jobs down sized

World absorbed
humans consumed
profits soar
mortgages abandoned

World immobilized
composure...

Tulip heads mingle with paper whites, floral party escalates.

An Guests bunnies and squirrel’s join the celebration.

Beneath the dogwoods, dandelion heads awake.
