How  so many stars tremble quite sublime
For this clutch of demise gushes its pour.

Near the dimmin...

Hopelessness is a Loyal Mistress

...Hopelessness is a loyal mistress. 
Tender agonies whispered in ones ear,
twisted thoughts to forget by sunlight;
only the uneasy shadows cast doubt.
Warming embrace of past mistakes,
lovingly co...

Nature's Magic

...a riot of flakes
conjured by nature's magic...
cars slip-sliding on black ice

winter’s confetti
starts entombing autumn's dead... 
colors are shrouded in white...

Tomorrow Unpromised

Our power the fire
all enemies dread
Till stealing its physics  
unmaking our bed

The world on the edge
of a loomin...

Nature Has the Upper Hand

...Volcanoes can engulf the land
in avalanching lava blaze
entombing picturesque Pompeiis,

I Will Languish

such dead cold cautionary tales
long disregarded and condemned.

And then there is this secret palace
eclipsing all true loves desolation

October Eve

...Pressed loudly underfoot
dead leaves fracturing
scattering beneath me.

Warm fragmentary vapor
slated breath steaming
evaporating before me.

Incurious quiet somber

The Sweetest Poison

...You kissed me on the neck, 
And felt my body shiver.
You fed me honey coated words
Thinking that you were all so clever. 
I fell for the words that you uttered from the heart,
Not wanting to thi...

Privilege and Iniquity

...I drink privilege, I breath iniquity.
Everything around me wreaks of docile obsequisy.
I was a born a prince, of a minor province.
And ever since, I have often heard words minced,
