Sanctuary of Obscurity
Dare one impose upon the primitive soul,
Revolving around solitude—a savant hold warmer than the sun
Entranced by every ideal—loving many and no one
Would they hesitate to break the sensational sway…
As petals of tiger lilies fall upon its sunset eyes
Tremulous sighs and exhalations—dedicated to wisdom
Looking to the...

Senectitude - the Age Before Dotage Arrives
So you think you’ve reached the age of maturity
Even old enough to draw your old age security?
Not so fast! Listen to what I have to say.
Everyone hopes they will reach that day,
Certainly it’s expected, that when retirement
Thoughts begin to dominate, you’ll lament:
It’s far too early...

Eater of Worlds
A sickly kid comes unto the world
He will not die right away
But calling him healthy is living in dream world
It’s hard to decide let him go to school or for his soul to prey

But as years pass by new strength lives in a child
He grows...

Premium Member Soul Haiku
Mischievous flint spark 
razes lethargy’s prison 
igniting joy’s fuse.


Majestic maple 
sheds summer’s scarlet dreams 
naked but for hope


Frolicsome breeze 
unencumbered by custom 
transports wisdom’s seeds


Still morning lagoon 
shimmers cosmic buoyancy 
atop deep pure peace....

Vehicle- the Death Angel
student they are
on the wings of knowledge,
on mirthful wings of angel,
on light of inside and outside

smiling touches them purely
fresh mind, fresh eye view to the future
they are frolicsome for acquiring knowledge
together footsteps on the airway  road
crossing they are every step of offshoot thinking
 smiling,...

Premium Member Arches Reflect: Pillars of Human Passage
We stand still as stone, hold our shape over time 
Watchers of the mosque, we watch as masks walk
Each passing stride a new universe of re-re-redesign
Every step under us, on the same curve of cold rock

Carved from the whole, statues with earth-turning toes 
Clay feet...

Premium Member Black Sludge
Deep in ocean near the coast, 
slicks black-oil-slime’s terminal ghost.  
Man’s ultimate deadly mistake,
razes abundant life in its wake.

Grim offing visions fiercely hold,
dismal lust for this liquid gold.
Thick black muck that stifles breath,
drags live water’s eventual death.

Black sludge a cloak of despair,
choking its vein...

Crimson Tide
Corona inflamed
red sun, wan in a smoked haze
Invisible algal bloom
marine, now airborne
searing land as it takes off
on fevered wings around Earth
Noxious fumes surround…

This culmination of deeds
ill-human-seeded...
Death razes a cleansing cull -
Ecology is avenged

Premium Member I Am Fear
I am what drives anxiety's climb;
stocking darkness shrouded in shadow.
Around, since the primordial slime;
the more you feed me, the more I grow,
morphing into terror over time.

I'm what makes you shiver in the dark:
no persona is darker than mine.
The dead stare in the eyes of a...

The Daze of the Gaze In a Haze
The daze of the gaze in a haze amazes the craze
In a series of streams and reams that raze
The wall between my fall and the wall
That screams no more to any tyranny should I crawl or entrall.

The daze of the gaze in a haze phases...

Premium Member The Cardinal and the Rose
The church bell chimes in charming tone,
but watering the blooming rose plants
the cardinal is late for the evening Mass.
As he runs in haste in the squally wind,
his red Zucchetto takes a flight.

A cardinal then flies in the crimson sky,
in mid-air the Zucchetto wraps it around,
and...

I Recall
I can smell the aroma of food cooking on the grill
Briefly awakening my memory of the childhood fun
Alive with flavor as I touch the grass, barefoot
The leaves travel in tepid summer breezes 
Busy bumblebees droning by 
And now as I engulf in the razes of...

Premium Member Falling With Leaves of Autumn
The leaden cloud-covered sun
relentlessly starves the summer harvest-
strangling its life-giving light to wield the death
of all filaments and assemblance of living green.
Leaves plot their fate turning into a fiery protest
of orange, yellow, cinnabar, and tawny brown
in a masterful profusion of their demise.

The wind razes its...

Lachesism
Maybe I seek meaning in the press of sympathetic eyes
Maybe within me resides a cancerous longing to shatter into a million tiny pieces
Maybe I will finally matter once tragedy razes the last vestiges of normalcy
Maybe I am a broken creature in a broken world, desperate...
