The apparition was cautious
Materializing in a slow, steady way
I had never believed in ghosts
Spirit was something I pretended to believe in
At church
But I didn’t.
My schemata would not allow me to let this creature into my mind
She gave me a sad look and dematerialized
I possibly missed my last chance to speak to my mother
But she taught me not to believe
And she did a great job
Inclined
The movement of madness,
The selfishness of desire,
Who is higher ? Who is fire ?
Broken ascents,
Non-existent dividends,
Where is laughter ? Where is water ?
Deformed misinformation,
Dematerialized ambition,
What is sin ? What is wind ?
Transcendental realignment,
An ages long assignment,
Which is worth ? Which is earth ?

From source Emanations reverent
Spaces born of oneness collectives
Infiltrate infinity prize prism clouds
Freeing premier born Divine Nexus knots.
Pulse towers of vacuum awakenings
Cross vast voids, returning to Light.
Forgotten planets pilot plot
Trans dimensional torrent tearing,
Luminescent love waves weave
Dematerialized spirals secreting sentient
Sentient staggered transmissions.
Reflections of Reality permeate
Into other expansions revealing
Silent stirs of universal echoes.
Destinies of beings, Galaxy's child,
Creates conscious codes of Existence.
Synchronicity glides effortlessly
among ancient star chronicled
corporeal prophecies.
Ominous omnipresence.
Focused, concentrating
on some random
but persistent thought
riveted in ruminations
fixed on point and purpose,
ponderings deep and dark
in retrospective scrutiny;
Aged, antiquated,
moments and years,
decades and suddenly a century
passe, slipped into senescence
names, history
lost in time.
Startling, staring, fading away,
hazing in dull images
out of time and out to space,
evanescence, dispersed,
vaporized, evaporated,
lost in the moment,
dematerialized from reality.
Time intervals, stretching, elongating
millennia unrecorded
scratching at eternity,
forever modes, ended
life spans, lifetimes, legacies
names, history, forgotten
in missing time.
As the bitter, piercing cold flees north, as the opaquely white snow makes an elaborate stratagem, a tortuous plan to revitalize next year, the viridescent grass begins to flourish and prosper, bringing an end to the biting winter. The juniper green leaves on trees begin to reinstall on the once dismal branches and the hibernating ophidians start to abandon their balmy, sheltered dens, and immerse themselves in the Sun's ultraviolet radiation and rejuvenating heat. The chirpy, sprightly birds perch themselves on the limbs of trees and ebulliently carol together and rejoice, for wintertime has vacated and the Sun has emerged from the billows of clouds. The cunning squirrels depart from their shelter, burdened with acorns. They scamper down the bark of trees and gleefully frolic and play in the grassy taigas of Siberia. The ravishing daisies begin to blossom, flaunting with their milky white petals and canary yellow pollen. As these plants and animals benefit from their transfiguring environment, gaiety and jollity radiates, for the somber subdued season has dematerialized and withdrawn from this ever-changing landscape.
The era of darkness is near,
I can smell the ground starting to rot.
The penetrating scent of Fetidity
Assaulting the nostrils of pure souls.
With the putrid scent goes along,
Your last uncontaminated Exhalation.
There goes the only hope you had
For by tomorrow all this will be dematerialized.
The sulphuric spoor consuming nonstop,
Leaving behind traces of what once was.
Vast Emptiness within the dark realms,
Something is missing, but nothing to be found.
Unseen corpses embalmed in raw eggs,
Reaching out through the increasing pressure.
Flesh and blood mixed with perturbed fear,
Despair, Misery and an unruly urge to imbibe.
Sulphurous Aroma caressing your Aura,
You’re holding back your spirit; but it’s gone.
You’re all alone and you know where you are;
The New Age of Darkness, has begun.
One Halloween night when I was five,
rain pelted city streets, we stayed inside.
Dad lit the Jack-o-lantern candle,
told us the tale of a famous vandal.
One “Headless Horseman” in Sleepy Hollow,
‘twas Ichabod Crane he chose to follow.
Crane ran breathlessly, was terrorized,
(At this point my father’s eyes looked wild).
Thundering behind him through the forest,
the hooves of a horse and a rider headless.
Carrying a sword to strike Ichabod.
(Dad grabbed a spatula, swung it like a rod).
Not just we children but our mother too,
gasped at the thought of Ichabod pursued.
High winds cut off our electrical power
as in our kitchen three children cowered.
Orange light from the pumpkin’s evil eyes
showed Dad seemed to have dematerialized.
The youngest, I felt something run through my hair,
I screamed aloud in horror and despair.
The lit pumpkin fell from table to floor,
darkness as I ran through the kitchen door.
Leaping into bed, pulling up the sheets,
Dad snuck into my room, whispered, “Trick or treat.”
So if you think I am a drama queen,
please realize that it’s all in my genes
