Premium Member Stygian Doubts-The Catacombs of Saint Francis, Lima, Peru
The rottenness of it all is no less foul for having been bleached white. This is the conclusion I come to. I walk with a scarf covering my mouth through the dimly lit catacombs of the faithful. The arched ceiling holds a dangling string of...

The sprout of momentary illusion, 
the voyage of a derelict dream in place of a lie,
the lure of April, the deceit of May concertized in December, 
in wintry snow, mocked, 
miscarriages of a well worn organ,
the grin  of February,  
suspended in September,
the burden...

Insatiable
I implored myself with money and okay,
thought that feasting at the time was no crime,
and as the chyme soothingly rolled in my head's threads,
then in pretense covered that craving with a palm,
that craving very agile and corporeal.

upon my lulling, the asking defied;
i gave it money...

Conscious
I’ll sing you dream songs
that last as long as the hills
but know this my love
it’s fullness IS
the striving of our wills

Against the darkness
that has crept stealthily
into the hearts of man
I cannot describe
this latent longing
to rest mine eyes
upon the faces of my joy
to stay there reticent
upon...

Vanity World
VANITY  WORLD

Looking into my very me, I saw crying and dying children  in me.
What is union without children in our nest.
Looking into my future; I saw my future swimming into ocean of sorrows.
Those who lead us; led my future into rottenness,
The braves, ...

Life Near Death
Fear I have going to the quack, knowing my life is in their hands
The moment I was told to register for a simple snip
In and out in a flash, easy as pie  
To waking up and realizing something is defective
Hearing antibiotics, damaged my blood...

The Day the World Fell Apart
It was unseasonably
warm for Winter
sun shone bright
cool breeze blowing
but not even cold
and I was
just walking
along, not knowing
the world, as we knew it
was about to come apart
Then that piercing scream
ripped through my heart
heart pounding and
pumping, feet
pounding, running
suddenly cold all over
despite warm sunshine
tingling numbness tracing up
my spine,...

Baby Steps
Back drops of life
Tending down rottenness
Picking doors expensive
Voice activated
No intruders
Quiet enfolds 
Inner materials
Grand exits and entrance
Stage manner audience
Mountains back loft
Ski slope catchall
Frontal success 
Filling slates jest
Protruding those jealous...

Here's Looking At You Kid
Babylon the great has fallen has fallen....
Woe, unto them that call evil good, and good evil
That place darkness for light, and light, for darkness
Which put bitter as for sweet and sweet for bitter woe
Unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
Their...

In this remarkable world without reasons
Every word and every thought seem so priceless
Something that can bring belief into you
On the other hand, it can also rip you heart apart

We learn how to verbalize the ideas in our minds
That what we think is often reversed with...

Despite Their Pocketful of Promises
If you come to my occasion
Maybe birthday or dedication
You'll be to me like a red rag to a bull
Asking for rice knowing the price of a bagful

Our common and daily food
Is becoming an august food
Either our leaders aren't aware
Or they just don't care

This continuous bulging...

Desire Death Doth the Weak
Desire death do those with weakness, 
    For present circumstances. 
To climb the face of life is meekness: 
    Behold all of God’s chances. 

With calloused hands in deep gray nooks, it’s meek to climb. 
   ...

From water to soil, we continued. 
All that I've at any spot known has been rottenness. 
I can hear myself awakening close to the water spewed.
Each component of this second was essential to my awareness. 

I needed to create this experience a piece of my...
