A Bohemian Maze of True Evil
Once so loyal and always true the gargoyles watch everything now
During their stony slumbers with their careful one-eyed open view,
As evil red-eyed demons rain down upon us in their dark-sprit forms, 
Whilst our unsuspecting mortal Earth is flush in an aura of confusion
And a cloudy...

a memorial in time
bring it down
bring it down
a testament to bravery
bring it down
bring it down
a witness to chivalry
bring it down 
bring it down
a monumental beauty
bring it down 
bring it down
a statue turned gargoyle
bring it down
bring it down

I'll bring it down
this monument of words
this epic work...

Premium Member The Red Light On the Tree
Christmas tree lights make a kaleidoscope of colors on this wall of mine
In the quiet room I sit and watch, oblivious to the passage of time

Alone, I sit and gaze at that one small blinking red light
My mind wandering back to that one still star-studded...

Premium Member A Memorial
Disorderly,
His confusion organized,
Grotesquely haphazard.
She never stopped complaining,
Harping him to distraction.
 
Even now, he had to search
For a miserable hammer.
Cellar dark,
Hands outstretched,
Light switch elusive,
He hit his head,
Against a beam.
Till he found 
That for which he needed.
 
He hung her portrait
Smack in the middle 
Of a bare...

Paul Valery Translation of the Graveyard By the Sea
This is my modern English translation of Paul Valéry's poem “Le cimetière marin” (“The graveyard by the sea”). Valéry was buried in the seaside cemetery evoked in his best-known poem. From the vantage of the cemetery, the tombs seemed to “support” a sea-ceiling dotted with...

Am I, My Brother's Keeper
Whoe, beyond the great blue sky, lies a distance galaxy that grotesquely form the
canvas of a Omnipotent mind.
"Am I, my brother's Keeper, one has asked? must I deal with hatred as my task?' 
Racism's - there, don't dare be dismayed. One should have compassion on...

Day one; I leave the coast following the great black river.  Its meandering slow water sneaking slowly and silently past the ancient pines and hardwood trees gathered near its banks like a band of cronies, bent closely in conference, discussing how best to rob...

Premium Member Not So Friendly Discussions
Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid conversations.

Dandified Darius decided daring dialogue
Dangerously divisive, declined discourse,
Deliberately discrediting dainty...

Alpha-582 Loves Zl-236
EPISODE I
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COLONIZATION OF OUR GALAXY

ALPHA-582  LOVES  ZL-236

Countless eons ago
Beings made self replicating androids
And they did it for no other reason
Than to fill some strange void
Then dispatched without mercy
Creating according to their construct
Metal gods thinking in digital
With big plans for their living...

Nice Family Car On the Highway
It's early morning and a message just came in...
Reached out for my phone without a pause to think...

Turns out to be a video clip of a white family saloon car..
Somewhere, some place on some undetermined highway..

This white car was moving rather sedately among a few...

Son of the Morning Star, Or Custer At the Little Bighorn
Historically accurate, narrative poem

25 June, 1876 - Valley of the Little Bighorn

Nothing stirs this June night, not a summer’s breeze or a breath of life.  All is eerily quiet, and on yonder hillside, shroud of darkness and death descended, lay ten score men and...

Material Or Induced-Happiness
" Expectations, aspirations, consolations, relations,

Distractions, interruptions, ratification, gratifications, 

Every minute, Every moment, Every second; don't spare a femto second,

Every month, Every year, Every fear, Come on! Hop on ! dear,

Just live every inch as state of joyful exuberance,

I don't care if you have cheromania or...

Phosphenes
I close my eyes and the world dissolves into little stars.
Windows and shadows taper off into unknown distances of space in sickly, bruised, yellow-greens and poisonous magenta. 
With whisps like ghosts that arrive in clouds and vibrate in the center of this not vision. 
When...
