Sanctuary of ObscurityDare 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 ArrivesSo 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 WorldsA 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...

Soul HaikuMischievous 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 Angelstudent 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,...

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...

Black SludgeDeep 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 TideCorona 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...

I Am FearI 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 HazeThe 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...

The Cardinal and the RoseThe 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 RecallI 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...

Falling With Leaves of AutumnThe 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...

LachesismMaybe 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...
