The last of autumn’s leaves begins assault
Of winter gales. The sap within the trees
In hibernating xylems call a halt
To most activity to some degree.
The birds that once resided amongst them
Already left for warmer spots unknown.
A few remain behind but are condemned
To weather winters snow and...

They ask, "What's the sweetest thing that's happened to you"?
I would have to reply, "It started when I was two".
That is when I, Mother, sister and brother,
went to live with our Grandpa and Grandmother.

They both sacrificed, from that day forward,
working long, hard hours, always undeterred.
To...

and in a sleepless silent fog
memories burnt out in faded sun
ossified bones shape quaker guns
the past a needle of deeds undone
dusk another skirmish yet unwon

and fogbound in silent sleep
hypnagogic gagged and bound
susurrous floating low and 'round
inducing visions, throaty sound
form the stranger, kundalini found

and silent in...

A huge Congratulations 
to everyone who passed
matriculation this year 
but please don't congratulate 
to me because I have no one 
to happy hearing your sweet voices.

In the past years I was waiting 
to hear some congratulations
from my parents but they are gone
some nine  months...

An epiphanic moment

pale dew drops clung to silky petals as
light breeze held wispy branchlets in its sway
blooms lay snug steeped in enigmatic scents,
waves pirouetting ,dainty in ascent
soon settled into ripples teasing seas
while mountains stood agape; tall silhouettes
of   sand   immortalised in castle...

I've burnt so many bridges
with an empty box of matches.
Friendships fall to waysides,
and I watch it while it happens.
Distant conversations;
Eyes no longer fastened
on the times when all we knew
were echoes of our laughter.
The flames of time have blazened.
They've left me charred and blackened.
The bonds between...

So burdened by a crushing silence more weightier than words 
born from likened mirrored thoughts 
These reflections shown in slackened hunches 
They come to bear such cruelty 
Carried with this certainty , seen darkly down and dragging 
in the fell of fallen shoulders 
Which question...

Her logic binds with golden ties and strands of silken thought
her elocution sparkles, it's a skill she has been taught.
Her lies are better than the truth, a drug that dulls defenses,
And I give up my reason to explosions of the senses.

Why, oh why, has she...

The carriages sway and how they shudder                  
Rattling behind the one-eyed monster                ...

FROMTHIS2THAT


Biscuits and gravy
Salads and snot
Chicken fried salamanders
The clams and mussels 
The oysters	the army 		marines and the navy
No such relief will be brought
Delusions of Grandeur
The dankness in disparity 	the putridity
The slackened standards
Oh the wasted cognation 
The scabs 
The gangrene 
The horrible rot!

An expired emotion
A disgusting thought
The...

Galleries of life, ignorant and tough,
Sometimes as sandarac’s incense, usually morose.
I erase bluntness that grew a cravat around my heart,
Abominable inheritance riveted into the soul of farce,
But there is nothing more valued in life than experience,
And there is a bag-full of it in every one...

It was a new year's party
Footfalls of the cups and glasses
Dances of the eyes and tongue
The time swung with the music
She wore a light pink lipstick
A lithe body of twenty 
A handndsome cascade in the eyes
Time forgot to fly

Across the table
Sat a young man of...

The reaper reaps in random ways
no signpost warns of last lived days
but ancient ears can hear the sound
of thundered hooves upon the ground
 
on blackened steed with fiery breath
the sickle scythes of pending death
with slackened reins the reaper rides
as changing gait our fate decides
 
and...
