MissingI'm lost
Without your hand
To hold
The walk
To school of life
Less bold
You vanished
In a Puff.
So quickly
My heart
So sad
My tummy sickly
No stop
No hug
The speeding car
Whisked you
Away
No au revoir
The color
In my life
Now blue
My hand
So cold.
I'm missing you

the souless killer dies
he didn’t blink
when the light caught his face—
just stared like a dog too long in the rain.
no prayers,
no cries,
no family on the concrete bench.
he killed for sport,
like swatting flies—
and still the world made room for him.
the guards were tired,
the chaplain bored.
death smelled like disinfectant and steel.
he coughed once.
then again.
then silence.
nobody wept—
not even the devil.

Gate of Undefined Infinity
“Fear of death is fear of surrender to Infinity.”
~ Adi Da Samraj
In my fevered state, I sought the godforsaken
sounds of the gossamer strings of the harp.
It was hours of grave thoughts before I would awaken
to the ghostly groaning of my mind’s steep scarp.
Grief-stricken, I lie staring through closed eyes
listening to the beat of my heart...

Eternograf 2Perhaps my truth
does not lie in shapes or outlines,
but in the empty spaces between them,
in the unbearable distance
between myself and my reflection,
between all that I am now
and what I might understand
if I had the courage
to gaze into the abyss
without blinking.
When I gaze into the abyss,
I discover only my own reflection,
not as I am,
but as I...

There’s nothing at all that I’m needing
and little that I’m wanting,
no tasks I find too daunting~~
but the world is bleeding.
The hungry near and far need feeding;
the homeless...

Without Regrets What Have I LeftThe end of days is a term
Dark enough
To make men squirm
And real enough
In a way
To make one consider
His final day…
Without regrets…who’s to say
And doing so I must look back
On what I wrought
And what I wrecked
What I built
And what I broke
What I gave
And what I took
Then the book that tallies sums
Finds me wanting
And then some
For...

The GenocideI lay in the dust turned to mud by the blood of innocents,
my name i heard whispered on the sighing breeze of night
flahes of somrthing bright illuminated a ruined city.
broken buildings like jagged teeth seemed to laugh,
screams like banshees filled the sky dropping death
down upon the heads of those already dead.
What hate must be brewing...

Gate to our Eternity
She returns here every May sixteenth,
the day she was to marry.
I saw her GHOSTLY visage there
at the GATES of the cemetery.
I went, as I've done everyday,
to lay flowers upon her GRAVE.
I, the GRIEF-STRICKEN groom
just striving to be brave.
Just as the sun set and darkness fell
I heard a ghastly GROANING.
I ran to...

The Wicket Keeper**The Wicket-Keeper**
Today, I learned that a lover I once cherished has passed away. Just yesterday, he was alive, and I never imagined I would feel this way about him. It’s strange how I rarely think about the rain unless it floods my drains, my driveway, or my beloved rose garden, or dampens my happy mood....

Just Buried
Farewell! Farewell!
It’s time for my closing verse.
How long the years
that bless and unkindly curse,
till in a black wagon
our sorry ars-e draggin’
we get to flat ride in a hearse
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Father, we buried you today
in a wicker casket
wherein bones of Mother lay.
Laid to...
