Clear Lines
allusive winds splatter metal amok
chasing leaves mark time across
cement jungles of error burn ravishing
imprints across eyes of the innocent

Premium Member Thought's Aroused
Most days, my thoughts
Are consumed by phantom pugilism
With things that once were
But long in absentia.

I re-trace the missteps,
That became teaching tools,
In the grandeur of life;

Premium Member Morning Composition
From my eyes
you kiss sleep
and the beats
of two hearts
mark time 
as night turns day.
Sunrise plays

and runes

as the beats
of our hearts

They remind me of the clouds that drift inland from the gulf

With Indolence conspiring to mark time,
With best intentions, and thoughts unpenned,

Hucksterized Homogenized Hoopla
Existence travels lineally
In whirlwinds of emotion
Colored logarithmically
And perceived equivocally

Expression mere epitaph

Knowledge serendipity strung

Love speaks
Feel heart peak
As joy tweaks

Know stern spell
Touch feels well


Live feel

Feel wit swirl


Faith knows
Hope sculpts show

Twilight found me
standing at my window.
Waiting for something new.
The same question in my head.

Am I never to be allowed to  breath
