When the smoky quartz sun 
slumbers into a cold winter, 
    we see the aftermath of a garnet twilight, 
   it is then, we find rose stars 
that refuse to abandon us in shivering solitude, 
  and beneath snake-skinned...

Poets have an invisible friend,
a source of steady comfort, of reliable joy;
this is a companion whose trustworthiness 
is transcended by images and sentiments;
always there to inspire the busy pen...
guided by an imaginable mind at play...  
Be liberal and irrepressible in your thinking as malicious...

Analyzing satires celeste images defined?!

Archtypes born side by side; carmine halos....

Transcending tangibles collective bell jar host

Internal objectives journey through the superlatives

Austere tides; juxtapositions museful nirvana eyes!?

Gazing upon celebral traces marking barefoot sands....

Latitudes showers from variables littoral clouds anew

Raining verticals truths aligned beyound, imaginations shores

Lissome dynamics...

Lament for the Makaris ("Lament for the Makers/Poets")
by William Dunbar [c. 1460-1530]
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
 
i who enjoyed good health and gladness
am overwhelmed now by life’s terrible sickness
and enfeebled with infirmity ...
how the fear of Death dismays me!
 
our presence here is mere...

Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated with the noose of indifference

Cataracts of devotion flows from the...

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being tasered courtesy cattle prod,
or struck by lightning hurled 
by the...

I once thought of winter as the grave,
Of all the seasons, it wouldn’t behave.
Always bitter, never would it save,
Grimacing and weeping, though quite brave.

Musings of hearths and blazing fires,
Held my thoughts, my heart’s desires.
Warming my bones from Winter’s satires,
Birds chirping from frosty nests despite kindly...

For you there was new epoch
beyond the synagogue
when in religious solemnity
you converted to Christianity.

You wanted to support
King and the Church 
but you were also open
for political change.

Your trophy was not only
in your political philosophy 
equal with propaganda
and your satires

on profligate oligarchy,
sectarianism, collusion,
of the Ministers
and their...

Bloody ravines
Crimson greens
Tumultuous skies
Vacuous eyes
Raucous jubilation
Sonorous ululation
Acrid slanders
Audacious satires
Languid apologies
Acrimonious envies

Man can shrug or guffaw
Makes Gods drop their jaws.

Doth behind your eyes
Are hidden secrets there be 
What's that I hear 
In your daily sigh 
Something I dare 
Not to compare.

Diligently I write 
Lives, romances 
Their strives, those satires 
Moment of my awakening 
Having been one awards
Of the putrid deeds
Of mankind, oh you
Oxymoronic thing,...
