Jukebox playing requiems as long songs,
Cigarette smoke suffocating air in between inhalations,A man knows he needs air to fill his lungs.Yet here i am bending knee so you don't leave my lungs ,however I'm gasping for air as if I'm drowning in words such

100 Whiskey Shots.
(Part 2 of 10)

You warned me not to visit bars at night,
Now what must I.do after our bad fight?
The street lights are a flicker of your smile
Not as bright ,yet so subtle to moments to come.
There is a pattern of sincerity in your calm,
Yet now we are headed in different dirences by a

BAR CHRONICLES

Blues and Memories fleeting.
(part 1 of 10)

I wrote suicide  note on sweating whiskey glass,
Pain pleading on moments pass.
Pet names on cords of base guitar 
Piano naming memories for each black and white bars,
I started seeing those memories enveloped in scars. 
Fleeting but leaving behind Traces of you dancing to a dying flame of a

Chronicles of the Thiefdom

They rise in suits, not in truth,
Whispering honey into the ears of youth.
They promise bread, and break it twice —
Then sell the crumbs at triple price.

These are the kings without a crown,
Their thrones built on a broken town.
They speak of peace with sharpened knives,
While trading bombs for children’s lives.

Parliaments of puppets sway,
Dancing lies in grand

Afam Bill: The Idan Chronicles

Now gather ‘round and hear this tale,
Of a brother cool, calm, and never stale.
It started on a peaceful morn,
When Idan himself was quietly born.

Jehovah smiled and said, “I will
Give kindness form— son of Bill.
He won’t be loud, he won’t wear gold,
But trust me, watch this man unfold.”

He gave him peace, a decent brain,
A knack for

Chronicles of the wayfaring sea

The sea stretches across a vast expanse
Blue and white, do the waves prance 
As a boat struggles to stay afloat
When the waves draw themselves to their height entire
The folks crouch down and say oh sire!
Spare us of your wrath
For  sinners and saints are we
And by every decree
Shall we  adhere to our values
With a

Premium MemberChronicles of a Boomer Poet

    The years meandered ‘long ‘til I hit twenty
       dreams of fame, girls and money

    Married too young, I was a jerk
       tethered now, to the daze of work

    Lost in their haze, decades

In the glow of bright screens, secrets unfold
Hunter's laptop weaves tales both bold
A dance of power, truth bought and sold

"Paying homage to ancestral kyanites, 
      which once vibrated with indigo streams
  in sparks of salient storms ~
   I soar across melancholic mangroves, 
           fathoming, if I am the forlorn pollen

The Chronicles of a Tortured Mind 1 of 10

"Who Am I"



Voices in my head the unheard of
 They mimic, they pester, they lie
  All to just torture my mind

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

I question I can no longer answer
 They've erased Me, Myself and I
   Changed into the hopeless, heartless, unkind

Who Am

Forestry Service and Bureau of Land Management 
 I don't know, maybe this year, you do your damn job?!

Maybe this year, you anticipate the obvious trend of massive fires? 

Do you think fire lines are out of the question? Equipment pre loaded in quadrants, with watch-towers and water for extreme dry conditions?

Follow the windA**holes !-!Maybe

CHRONICLES OF ALENE COLLINS

CHRONICLES OF ALENE COLLINS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alene Collins, a tender soul in tumultuous terrain,
Touched by turmoil, torn by tenderness & pain.
She grew in her teenage testimonies, trials & tears,  
She's her grandparents' guiding light across the years.4

Separated at birth, scared and unseen,
Sorrow silently settled in her serene.
Without a father's face, she learned to thrive,  
A mother's
