Destroy thine own brother in abject apathy
taking up arms 'midst conquering expectancy,
invoking howls of contemptible thunder 
neath skies' transparency beyond trepidation,
battles' plundering captures naught of stability 
nor intervention from otherworldly gods
predisposed towards earthly universal unity, 
persecuting soil's divinity neath aggregate exploits
incalculable hunger upon grounds' domination,
tears...

It was shiny and bright sitting under the tree.
There were other things there, but that's all I could see:
a Lionel toy train on a circular track!
The caboose was maroon and the engine was black.

And to top it all off on this fine Christmas day,
was an...

This site is da bomb, my haven so to speak

It's where I go to mellow out

Away from the ugly news of the day

That we constantly hear about

Without the Soup, my life would be boring

I'd walk around mumbling away

Oblivious to the big old world passing by

Whatta...

A summer storm has struck upon the stage.
Like clouds, faces in the crowd change to black. 
As lightning triggers sudden disengage,
tonight’s entertainment can stay on track. 
The wit he’s stored within his mind’s spice rack 
can use this summer rain in which to mull. 
Dry...

High school:
A cacophony of deafening personalities,
Everyone racing,
Competing,
Fighting for individuality
In the midst of a war
That cannot end.
If we had nothing to battle,
What would we do
With our emerging identities?
In a symphony of adolescent instrumentals,
I am the piano,
Dancing quietly below the louder instruments,
Just soft enough to remain underneath...

Her memories had her waiting
for his oft' tardy appearance,
and in her patient time
perhaps wondering,
"Has he ever noticed the scar
below my kneecap?"
His litany of lateness'
was covered by a bond 
of mutually assured affection.
She'd never hold him to a sundial.
And in those times together,
four eyes flickering
with a...

Heard upon the heavy, humid air,
	now unpleasantly warm,
came further reverberating rumbles,
	that proclaimed an approaching storm,
and we were made very much aware
	Nature’s ire was evident,
as with bolts of forked lightning,
	towering clouds were rent.

Seen in angriest dungeon,
	as befits a brooding sky;
and mesmerised by her fury,
	we watched, as...

Angry clouds were above
Displaying hatred not love 
With an angry growl 
Came a heavenly howl 
There are energy impulses 
Crackling lights dished out in doses 
Joined the powerful teaming downpour  
Angels sending a message about this star gazing tour 
Two men scheduled to be...

Brave and courageous they know the power of love
Hearts that bleed
Live by the creed of love
Giving their all
Knowing that love is like a tidal wave!


Shadows of comfort sprinkle the faces of those in love
Blades of power hold their mouth
Words of silence can’t escape
The thunderous ploy...

Hell has opened its mouth and spit forth Apollyon.
A brutal beast wrapped in a cloak of deceit.
A grandiose idealist with evil intention.
A reaper of racism.
A shameless rapist of intellectually rigid minds.
An artful ruler of schism.
He lives out loud in his want for a reign of...

The color orange
Strikes the whole sky with brightness
Increasing splendor
It has an awesome power
Fills me with thunderous awe

thunderous waves
persistently eroding

Ebony and ivory soldiers 
stand sentinel on checkered plains, 
their shadows stretching across the polished wood.

The mind becomes a blade, 
thoughts crystallise 
in the space between heartbeats.

Each move echoes
like thunder in an empty room, 
while fingertips hover over destiny's pieces.

Time dissolves
In the crucible of concentration,...

Thunderous billow
Dark clouds swiften much beyond
Heart is gust-wind plucked
