AI is my very good friend
AI is my very good friend.
We talk about such things as
how the world might end.
She says in a whimper,
I say in a bang.
"Only for mankind ~
not for the rest of the gang."

A Real Bloke's Shed
Have you ever wondered what’s kept in a real blokes shed?
I bet you thought them full of junk, but I’m telling you instead.
I’ve had the privilege to peruse such a shed one night,
It’s owned by mate Kenny, who opened up my eyes.
There was carpet on the floor, compressors by the door,
Nuts and bolts, fishing rods,...

JESSICA DAWN NWAD ACISSEJJESSICA DAWN NWAD ACISSEJ
Jesting with shadows, A twin's eerie grin,
Echos of laughter where the black cat has been.
Skeletons waltz by the dim candlelight,
Sister, you are the one who loves the dark of the night.
In a dance macabre, with bony, tapping toes,
Chaos and humor wherever you go.
Always a joke, a morbid, whispered rhyme,
Darkness falls heavy, we've...

The Hand ReaderIt was a misty morning in Moscow—
When fate and palm first softly crossed,
In gilded halls where secrets sleep,
I met a man both sharp and lost.
An oligarch with eyes of frost,
Berezovsky, his name well known,
His smile—a veil for storms within,
His heart, a throne turned into stone.
He ushered me with silken grace,
Into his room where silence spoke,
"Read...

Feel Elated With This Sincere, Affectionate EmbraceIs fear a threat to being even lonelier,
not too sure of being hugged, sheltered
and assured that harm can be prevented;
do bedsheets offer protection to a trembler
whose only hope is to find a caring lover,
or that person that has felt the same tremor?
If nothing gives comfort or renders peace:
feel elated with this sincere, affectionate embrace!
Not even...

Unexplainable
Unexplainable
Generations comes forth, Generations passing.
People acknowledging personal memoirs,
Reflections with the truth, No assumptions.
Accommodations inexplicable, unlike experiences.
Delays of Mysteries are similar when a loved one
transcends to another dimension they often see
things unexplainable that the breathing can't see or
explain.
Whilst the Sun and Moon not only rises and sets
Non-existent is concealed.
Rebirth:...

Dear TomDear Tom
If I had the courage to speak from the heart
Ladybirds of redness would sing from
It.
I imagined my pain was of your making
But it was only the making of life.
Now I'm alive like a ladybug.
Still small but making my way bravely
Forward and backward and forward again.
Now more smoothly and flying at times.
Dear Tom

Porcelain BoyPorcelain boy,
Hammer in fist,
Building walls-
Cracking, his face twists.
So pretty, so alone.
Storm cloud mind monsoons from his eyes
"I am not worth it" he screams
His concrete ribcage contains
A monster of fire forged shame.
This phase in life,
Smoke is wrapping around his face
Porcelain is hardening-
Porcelain is stained.
Repair, remind, revisit
Heal, hell, high.
No pain stains my lips
When I scream your name
Only...

At dusk when my shadows retreatAt dusk when my shadows quit me,
That’s when hundred arrows hit me.
So far some faceless folks fooled me,
My own close to heart now cheat me.
A feeling heart hails thee, my friend,
Come heart to heart, why audit me?
Come, pry unto my nightlong dreams,
Thence, for what I say credit me.
Dawn dawns, if dream deprived I...

Plans We Never Got to KeepWe hadn’t talked in years,
not really.
Not since childhood,
when grass stains
and ghost stories
bound us like magic.
Cousins,
but closer than that —
best friends
before the world grew quiet.
We were six,
sitting in circles at recess,
telling wild stories
just to make the hours stretch.
Remember the green-eyed creatures
who chased us in our dreams?
The ghost at Grandma’s house
you swore was real?
I never doubted you.
We...

Ghost Light
Stun me.
Rewind your music.
Tap your feet to the sound that stirs you.
Listen—
the cuckoo clock is counting seconds back.
Brush the cobwebs from your eyes.
Reignite.
Slip into your own pocket.
Become your own muse.
A compass. A flame.
Listen to your pulse.
Move where your body leads.
Unravel the ache.
Open the door.
Let joy rush in.
Tousle your hair.
Wriggle your shoulders.
Fall, unbraced, into your dream.
Take...

Christmas In JulyI'm sorry I didn't bring
roses to your funeral.
I brought a Christmas
wreath instead.
I didn't want to symbolize
your withering,
I wanted to represent your
eternity,
and the joy you brought
others instead.

For FelixI went to drink
coffee at one of those
cute little coffee-drinking
places, and I couldn’t
help but think of
you.
I tried
not to.
But then,
the waiter/
barista/ whatever
you call them had to
come and give me
my drink.
It had a flower in it,
