Magnum Opus
Man of words, strange creature of fiery intention,
Amplifying pictures with that restless imagination,
Great are the images spurting forth from your pen,
Nothing holds you down, working alone in the den; 
Unto the night you toil, pushed by an alien power,
Mastering some inner demons, taming your fear.

Oh...

May my greatest feat,
My magnum opus be:
That I loved whole heartedly
And extraordinarily!
May those who knew me,
Know I loved thee best....

In simple lines
Grand thought divine


Love speaks easy
Plain and wisely


Seek the good here
Live happy cheer


Work faith and hope
Love suits all scope


Be here now then
Let how know when


Glimpse ample light
Bring wise insight


Allow great work
To flood fond perks


This is your life
Transcend mere strife


Each moment counts
Blooms grand amounts


Just do...

My mind is empty
Like a long corridor
With a light flickering
On and off
The paint is peeling
And chunks fall from the ceiling
A pen rolls across the floor
Useless and without ink
So I pick it up
And stab myself
Letting blood fill the pen
So I can write a final verse
Over the...

Magnum Opus
Pieces of glass shattered on the wooden floor
I maim my pointed finger; it bleeds and runs into my broken door.  

Grief is timeless as it seems, 
How evergreen to sculpture happiness in my dreams?

I’m beautifully made but devastatingly asking,
“What keeps you awake and keep...

My Theoretical Magnum Universal Opus
Inadvertently i think i may have
stumbled across and now settled
upon my very own

Theoretical Magnum Universal Opus

Pondering the unknown universe
thus far and the eternal search
for the meaning of life

If God is as we are lead to
believe is the bringer of the light

Imagine a singular simple speck...

44 Magnum
(This is a fictional poem)

A man is pointing his 44 at my head.
If he pulls the trigger, I'm dead.
He appears to be a deranged lunatic.
He needs a psychiatrist because he's sick.

I'm really scared and my eyes are beginning to well.
I'm about to be killed by...

Move with clear mind the waves of time,
Ask for true heart that sparks pure act;
Glimpse love's sure kind as thought syncs chime,
Now live your art in fond impact;
Urge joy to heal all hurts and pains,
Make your life quest a journey fest.
Opt soul to feel life's...

My girlfriend is not a poet in  the way that most people mean. 
She is a collector of rare and valuable information. Today,

she told me about cats & the color of their coats. We adopted
a kitten recently, a baby thing with elastic legs and...

Magnum Opus
Cantankerous cancers found my blood letting from the slit, 
Is it avarice of me to desire the love begetting of Lazarus?
Enjoying life cadaverous like forgetting the want to live, 
Is it glamorous for me to die while God desires I live? 

Forgo the solid ground,...
