Premium Member Darkness Comes
The darkness comes again
and I am fading
to shades of gray with empty eyes
until I am nothing more than a shadow
cast upon my wall
my sanity being exiled
by this dark master
dictating my steps
balance fragile
I teeter on the edge
between myself and the nothing I am to become
haunted again...

Premium Member Orphic Consecration, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel's Dedicade D'Orphee By T Wignesan
Orphic consecration, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Dédicade d’Orphée by T. Wignesan

Here am I back from the other dubious bank
where Orpheus’s abandonned lyre laments
the wind down there fills my veins dizzy drunk
and my redoubled hangover numbs my senses.

After having used up my human resemblance
mauve moons of...

Evil Lives
The world speaks of tragedy and questions
   was it hate, terrorism or less tempered aggressions,
those are the words news makers use so competitively
   but history is sadly, inconsolably repetitive.
there it is again, another bomber exploding
  to entice the world into...

A Spirit Sunrise
Near those flowers blooming with grace
I rest in shade and find a slower pace
Spring air has faded with the rain
Summer heat redoubled with pain
Winter stillness so far away

Love will find a way I'm told
there on the bench though I still grow old
A morning mist hath...

Existentialism Emancipation Proclamation Manumission
Existentialism emancipation proclamation manumission...

Flourishes amidst freedom 
once invisible (alice in) chains shucked
when soul no longer kept linkedin 
to jane's addiction 
with corporeal duty, entity, fealty... 
while formerly shed body electric 
gendered as former googly eyed hotmail 
actually a prodigy, whose outlook 
arouses suspicions regarding him...

Midlife Crisis
As youth flows out with middle age,
I find it hard to turn the page.
Life deals the cards and calls our name.
We ante up, or leave the game.

Working, saving, spending, craving

If success is measured by the things we own
By glorious deeds so widely known,
Then I must...

Restless
RESTLESS


Oh my, the ghost still haunts the rest of my life
I cannot go back reminisce and picture
Where I’ve been into what extent I’ve delved
That after the euphoria I deemed  loose
This thing now sometimes controls me.

Though I still believed
My strength, my imagination explored
As if my...

Showdown At Heller Ranch
Don Heller owned an impressive spread,
Not that far from Lindholme town,
Below the tall peaks of Idaho,
Down the road from Ed McGowan.

Ed McGowan owned half the ville,
And had two-dozen hanger-son.
Ike Raeburn owned the other half,
But had thirty men with guns.

All knew that someday blood would come,
And...

Intoxicated Rondeau

Totally intoxicated in prime movers’ immortality
Never hidden in punchy illusion
Broken heart dips into sacred circus hilarious absurdity
Images of staggering lightheadedness - cleared vision fusion.

Stronghold built on the perfect harmony suffusion 
Of love’s author – dizzy with tipsy truth’s reality -
Distilled Spirit's healing balm -...

Meeting
Snow is falling, snow is falling
All around me in a whirl
And yet, though it’s blinding
My eye’s fixed on a pretty girl

But I doubt she’s even noticed me
And who could blame her
For, alas, to beauty…
What could the beast offer?

She’s standing there, on the corner
Across the street...

Premium Member Consciousness Correction
a subtle, almost imperceptible vibrational distraction
became an irritant causing consciousness contraction 
taking a step back, we allowed the flame to die out
contemplating on why we had so allowed it to grout
as such, the seeming nonevent, though a flicker in time
redoubled our resolve to entwine with...
