I am very pleased to present a third collaboration with Robert Lindley,
an extraordinary poet who inspires and humbles me with his pen.

Feverish The Hex

The root of the melancholy
he has not always known,
and perhaps, with strangers
and with unknown strangeness,
he has embraced its love
and loved its hateful wounds.

He prides the strength resting his bones,
the iron-glove that wields power grasped
in his haste to taste its honeyed glow,
anticipation seeds ever...

"HEX"






whispers, a pit full of vipers swallow feathers and their tales, scarlet letter burned blistering at the crucible assizes

My First Hex Sonnetta


Sweet Angel Jessica

and

Sonnetta the Witch



She lived far away from the village below
Deep in the woods, high up in the sky
Where mountain mists flutter on by
She was an old skinny lady of a strange persona

There were rumors in the village center
That she was...

Precious little princess,
with eyes of royal blue,
and hair of golden hue,
which tends to be a mess,
but I could not care less,
'cause I'm in love with you.

You may not act the part,
of royalty defined,
but in my biased mind,
you are a work of art,
I cherish in my...

I see her in her pure white dress
She is attractive but far from virgin allure
She’s like a paper doll delicate and quick to burn
Quick to drown under the dark cloud’s waters
A witch child among all her sins
She hexes me until I feel disturbed and dismantled
Haunting...

DIMINISHING HEX-ON-VERSE


A hex on this verse
how could it be worse
tongue in cheek or terse
potion to reverse
a poetic curse

quivered arrows
wingless sparrows
Sphinx and Pharaohs
distant gallows

funnels bend
wordless blend
poems end

contend

Every time I get happy
the Nana-Hex 
comes through.
A dog's canines 
change into chainsaws,
toothpicks turn into knives,
coral reefs diverge into dirty sponges,
a sandcastle into a mausoleum,
a soldier-ant burrows deeper
into my borrowed grave,
reveille trumpets tap 
a tip-toed timpani of
disenchanted malevolence;
all for the Nana-Song.

I am eleven.
I am naked.
I...

I do love cheese!
Jeez, Louise,
what artistry I see.
A scrumptious luscious fresh confection
waits here just for me. 

It’s fine, so fine
and looks divine.
What an awesome feat -
to make dessert that looks almost
too beautiful to eat!

Oh, what a cake!
For heaven’s sake,
it’s like a rainbow pie. . ....

No exorcism can
cure me out from your echo
splinters in my mind....

I’m tired of influencers faking nervousness.
my generation wants to care less
these days.
it’s a counter-current hack.
we want to be less defined.
we can search and reflect for ourselves.
we’re sick of the emotion
that’s all over everyone’s faces,
the unsightly splotches of opinion.
the entire election machine,
the process of getting there,...

Wooden voodoo crux
One hex on me
Burn deep beyond known
Even down, even up

Occurrence number, frequency
Of moon voodoo hex
Four gone beyond one
You never knew

There is a hex upon the human soul,
Which turns our greatest gifts to coal.
It has smothered these lands with deceit,
And trying to cleanse it is no easy feat.

We're enwrapped in crooked policies,
Hearing our leaders false prophecies.
Taught to mindlessly listen and obey,
While the greed of men...

Like the beauty hidden beneath the brook
It’s the simple dimples that make me smile
Or is it the drop of a drip 
Off an old black bear’s back 
As he chases the flip flop 
Of a Brook Trout
Or is that the Big Brown
As he marks the...
