Best Mutates Poems

Dormant desires within derelict deserts’
Winds whispering of your selective stealth
Frozen fingers that chill the empty spaces
Longing for you a pacifier of thickened thorns
Discombobulation drives the day
Your mendacious love marooned on dusty dunes
Secluded silhouettes stranded
Mystifying mirages migrating
Only sacrificial shadows scream
Where your love mutates into a holographic...

insomnia night after night 
restlessness tense & disturbed
lying awake the mind modifies
mutates
preceding delusional dreams
consciousness remains alert 
creative and mindful words emerge
falling like puzzle pieces 
perfectly clear
brain on the ball
title transparent
insomnia creates 
another verse

and so it continues.. imagination 
inspired though sleepless despair
bedside lamps beam gentle glow...

~ Chzarisma is my Vaccine~

    

People are frightened of joyous, positive  souls. 
They cling to paper masks, sanitizers and paper towel rolls! 


They will not get near me for a chat. 
Too ignorant to know that Sir Death knows exactly where...

Tardigrade

Consider the lowly Tardigrade
To survive any environment, it is tailor made
Commonly known as the water bear
This handsome creature can live any where
From underground to the vacuum of space
It is no threat to the human race
Unless, it mutates and does grow
Then it looks like it could...

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...

When leaves do whisper
say goodbye to all at fall
once of life mutates
the cycle of death begins
to waltz within heartless breath.

A Beautiful Death

High on a hill hidden by shrubs
I am embraced by the branches of trees
I am worshiped by nature
I hide from the exhaustion of humanity’s harassment
I am safe from the horrendous appetite of others
Here comes a high-priced counselor hollering about an inheritance bequeath by...

Autumn Haiku

for your eyes only
as leaves fall upon teardrops
nature in meltdown

The Last Act

Leaf of life mutates
to waltz within winds of change
woodland stage awaits

Autumn's Way

nature's erosion
wreathe of gold yellow and red
death for to give life

A Rant – The Quiet Hypocrisy


it seeps in through gradual osmosis

and soon is ingrained in pliant minds

it mutates and thrives in tunnels of vision

and then is fused into the fiber of unreason

the quiet hypocrisy that drips of the tongues

spouting broken words of unfathomable callousness

the mutilated...

My shadow has departed
A dim luminescence has not the power to prevail
So casts my follower to the depths
To wallow in ineffable sorrow
Where heartache mutates to anguish, to scourge, to death
And lucidity has no foothold
And light, no admirer...

Existential fear abandoned for the sake of delusion

Nuclear freeze in her heart of alchemy’s shivers 

Veiled shadows dancing to the echo of silence

Intemperance sounding choral confusion of fate 

Rosemary scents a bunch of renegade petals 

On her journey of lone pipers on terminal bugles

Never one...
