At peace perhaps too much
a fine Spring rain
we seek news from the desert or capitol
of those who have dedicated their lives to losing their lives for us
adventurers, ancient honor, land runners
this campaign a must to advance one's career
a war president needs war

All you need to...

Unsang song

To the body that buried crying souls turbulence is emotional
Womb for a wormhole life is optional,
One night  stand for  stars die quicker than supernovae and wrapped in
Mummifying sheets .thighs for dear dairy to hold record of men who came for visit.
The same...

will it pass this way again?

 nobody knows because the community 
library
 has to many paperbacks and the clouds 
to many sins.

 will twain swirl in the rain?
will steinbeck hit the deck?


  will it pass?

 will a folk singer from the north play the...

The government and its people stay on antagonistic sides
but what stimulates the rulers’ infidelity to patriotism
can easily be bought by any, over the counter.
They are desperately in need 
of sailors to guide through the storm
yet for some reasons, 
nurture a belief of so called anointed...

She said at the pharmacy counter
My husbands Viagra needs renewed
She asked the man if they sold it there 
He told her that they certainly do

She asked if he had ever used it himself
He told her he had and was a big fan
She asked,"Can you get...

Adrenaline Rush
 
This drug that surges through 
my veins and floods my brain each day.
Giving my brain just the jolt it needs 
in all the right ways!

This electric stimulation is organic.
Nothing bought on the street 
or over the counter would ever compare
to the sparking flares...

Cursing and cutting bleeding and boiling
Undressed and undone...like a microscopic maggot now scorched in  the sun
Strung out and strung up
Feasts of flesh...decomposing...devolved...deterioration
Anti-creation

Over the limit and over the line over the counter...my drug is to die
Gold unto giants and silver to swine
Drunk on divine...water to...

Everyone has ample Apple Annie needs,
caramel candied covered heart cravings
But, at what cost 
does one pay the price to receive?
I’m holding on to my precious pennies,
keeping my copper Cupid thoughts 
in my Cardigan cardiac pocket
Always wishing lovers well,
I cherish the fond memories
of innocent days gone...

The summer is over but things are getting hotter
The summer is over and people are getting viler
The sky is overcast and the birds are flying around
It feels like a stranger has just entered the town.

Grey sky is hanging above and the trees are standing still
Not...

Horoscopes defy what the mind already knows
Sagittarius categorized, Catholically inclined
Religion forces Signed eyes to reconsider deliverance
Archer status on the dance floor
Lips poised clothing crunk'd
High heels dipped in ghetto couture 
Street loved, Sirens seem to posess me with Hip-Hop streaming
Cold blue steel pressed against my thigh
He...

Please don’t blame the automatic weapon
that synagogue killed me, tragically,
the other day
The hands which held it
are Second Amendment clean — 
Gunpowder washed in crimson water
of dogma purity

I was just the latest recipient
of an over-the-counter, scarlet backorder
Which came with a limited scope range
death warranty: Multiple kill...

So much has happened
feelings unexplained
shot, dead
Clear the ROOM!
Speak the silence
in my heart.
The silence brought by death
the death of two loved ones
the loved ones I scarcely knew
but no tears were shed.
So were they really loved ones?
How can one distinctly define love?
Love for family...
Love for friends...
Love for......

Cassandra was my neighbor
young and smart indeed;
and disappointed in love as beautiful Claire,
she took a dozens of pills to kill her only need.


Leaving for work, I saw Cassandra sit
on the stoop shivering so overwhelmed by fright;
I was surprised to see her in that 
miserable condition...

It all started off innocent enough
To take a slight edge off the pain
Some days seem worse than others
So you take a few more I'm afraid

Before too long the battle is gone
You don't dare go back to the doctor
So you take to the streets to meet...

Digging my own grave synonymous with a sense of accomplishment

Quite an undertaking
to break ground
figuratively, and symbolically linkedin
while able bodied and mindedness
readies cemetery plot within Elysian Fields
although honestly, and truthfully
as an organ donor,
yours truly opts for cremation
once I, the corporeal constituent essence
that constitutes breadth,
height, length, et...
