a land of dying sonnet
in snail-pace schizoid Land of the Dying they sometimes bake schnapps biscuits then throw them to black cat eyeing angels appear asking “what about fiscus ?” they reply “we care not, passings near roof leaks, grass not so glitter green new shoots will bloom, Shangri-La we hear!” “all acts account to day of goodbyes, clean fix broken...

Premium Member Fulcrum of a Rose
arose a rose without spikes, unshaded softness scattering delicate dreams through the air tickling veiny leaves, mundane bees, an undesired fondness predating papa bears, and heinous hares tingling with such profane heat that brewed unkind plots behind backs of hills with eyes, breaches, peeping trees thickets in dungeons already packed with petals their dined- on pink vanilla bones, strawberry puff wickets bowled awry, to be devoured at the pitch by thorns in the...

Premium Member IN AN AWARENESS CASE OF WAR
IN AN AWARENESS CASE OF WAR Murder is a crime, Unless it’s in war; Then it’s all legal: The death penalty For the innocent:- Our reality, Is not of heaven:- Wars have no angels; Only its demons: Scavengers of peace:- Oh, let’s be of faith, Laboring in love; God is on our side, And has canvassed hope: Armageddon:- ...

The Thimble of an Elf
I wear a thimble to protect me from blows I can't see the enemy, But I got to fight anyway I suppose. My thimble's a bit battered Worn down by old wounds I might need to get a new one Till then this will do. My kingdom depends on me I guess so, Haven't heard from them in many moons. I fight, waving about a...

Fruit Jar Fireflies
I see words, and they see me It’s true they are sentient, quite But they will never see the light of my world through my loins They keep floating by, ever speaking never ceasing like tinnitus in my transcendent sight Like orphans from somewhere never Their little fingers grope as they look at me squarely Speaking barely, “bring me...

FINITUDE OF LIFE
We are made of moments. Everything passes: laughter, pain, the tear that dried without being noticed, the perfume of youth, the winters that seemed eternal, the night that dies at sunrise... so let us live for life is brief and passes......

a twilight sonnet
Twilight tiptoes through curtained clover leaves Cape starlings stanzaed thank mighty Lord spindly legs shake on spritely evensong breeze closing chirp reminding that day is just a chord What achievements marked chanting hours manifesting with helio hands and heedful head paper, pencil, thoughts danced about in bower patterned sensations twirled needle and thread A silent hymn I sit awaiting...

Curtain Close
I look on, reciting lines, reacting, responding, the lights are dim, the stage is cold. I dance across the scene, choreographed to my solitude, hurt, tired, done, but I never stop. Tears roll, screams echo, but I never stop. I almost collapse, I can't go on, but I never stop. I'm dead, my body rotting, but I never stop. I look to...
