Reflection Leaves Me Darkly
Lost in reflection I dream of drowning in different dimensions. I can stare at the dark shadows but never take my eyes from the page. Is this how I should be With so much beauty around? I drift without direction no impulsion and yet in reflection I can be lost and see the reflection of dark shadows while I drown in different dimensions. ...

Darkly Seen
A dark moon, one still seen, as darkened glimmers, in a shadowy sheen. Is it moonlight we see, or a familiar face, now lost, struggling through, a cloud cover of memory? Whatever the sky is in us, we see that sky reflected in the outer. The space within is the space without. Look again at that ghostly moon, perhaps you will meet yourself, looking for...

Through the Glass Darkly
Poets believe they were born out of time, each era too early, too late, out of rhyme Creations main doctrine for those so inclined connects what’s unspoken —to a far greater mind (Dreamsleep: December, 2021)...

For Now We See Through a Glass Darkly
The sun has risen bright and cold. December shines. The roads glisten with frost. A bright sky flares, makes all stare into sheets of light, Now opaque, now a glaring dazzle., the light steals our sight for want of any shaded defining. There is glory in the air but also a perilous power that blinds. Many cannot look but must watch their...

Premium Member Drifting Darkly
Falling through pompous poems, spiraling Slippery sinking, rhyming rolling In down directions, foreign for me Cascading in chalkboard screechy sounds Hanging by nails that can catch and clasp Clinging to hollow hopes once grasped Sliding sorrows, long lost dreams dashed Descending dusty thoughts that propel Nothing now left of me, you can tell...

The time glass The morning takes a longer time awakening the sun is hesitant hides in the east before showing its might.

The Night Glows Darkly
Raging, fierce winds of Mars marched across Earth’s skyscape, in the season of the decline of Man Fall of the God-chosen specie, autumn of impending extinction Twas an apocalyptic mushroom noon when the radioactive rains descended upon the cities of carnage War-torn topography uterine shelters were closing, as phallic missiles were radar target trace fire opening Bomb pockmarks marring the beautiful faces of the cosmopolitan ladies Uranium continental...

Darkly Smoldering Allies
Darkness and I have become allies, affinity by association's shadowed prayer spoken of the same kindred language, consanguinity in our devout appeal of blackening night's smoky exposure, like a coke whore I obligingly snort it doomed to partake in a dreadful flight upon an impeding raven's blighted sojourn ...
