TO THE BARD OF THEATRICAL YEARNINGTo Mr. Michael, Bard of Theatrical Yearning,
Your words, like ivy, wind and wind — ornate, impassioned, almost divine.?But I write now with a quieter pen, one that bleeds not drama but truth again.
You call me complacent — a muse asleep??Dear sir, I have only grown quiet to keep?From drowning in tides too high, too fast,?Where...

ALPHABET OF AWKWARD AMORAwkwardly he made a pass
Bumped his head against the glass
Cheesy lines flew far and wide
Didn’t notice spinach fried
Ego big, but brain quite small
Fumbled trying to make a call
Gave her flowers — they had bugs
Hugged too long and popped her lugs
In his teeth was something green
Joked too much — the vibe turned mean
Kissed her hand, then...

inherit the wind
We are inheriting Art and Arc
Of trying to understand.
How once, we were fingers,
Born of the same common hand.
Miniatures born into this land
Of thought.
Tactile each, and that ought,
To have been enough.
But,
In the sound of each brushed whisper
Overheard in the billowing clouds,
We fought the thought
Of the popular injunction.
Loud as a newborn’s...

When Words Fly Back
With care, I craft the words on the page,
but I see that they loathe being in this cage.
Too often, they break out of formation
and run everywhere — such disorganization!
I wonder if I should set the words free,
considering they’ve already done so much for me.
The next day, carrying a heavy heart,
I tell...

The PactIt began with a bargain on a winter night,
When the cupboards were bare
And hope sat idle in the corners.
He came with frost on his collar,
A gentleman adorned in a burgundy suit
Polished alligator shoes, crimson silk tie,
And a smile too white, too wide.
He introduced himself only as “the Tooth Fairy.”
There he stood ancient and ravenous
And far...

Presence BeyondYou are as beautiful as life seems to be
You are as dark as night make it be
You are as bright as the sun want to be
But you are as peaceful as death means to me
(You are as beautiful as others claim to be
You are as frail as your eyes make it be
You are as bright...

The StageThe Stage,
The blueprint of consciousness,
A Labyrinth left within this,
Molecular living witness.
Atoms are energy in this existence,
Building a world in the present tense.
Every moment a new experience,
A chance to dance in the performance.
Growing entities sensing change,
Reality starts to Rearrange.
As we make the energy exchange.
The blueprint is looking strange,
It's designed to seem deranged,
It's...

this late night beguiles my skin, reeling

Poetry
Some may say
it is a curse
who's to know
but could be worse
altho' no aesthete
I'm not averse
to levity when
taking up the pen
to scribe a poem then
making it rhyme
it's wit I seek
one line at a time
with tongue in cheek
(roses are red Mondays are blue
honey is sweet violets are too)
and once in a while
as humour is the fave
to break...

ROUGH DRAFTVerse 1:
I was once a whisper, light on your tongue,
A gentle hum, a soft song to be sung.
But like the fray of ink, fading with time,
I fell from grace as you lost your mind.
Your fingers once tender, tracing my lines,
Now calloused and tired, no longer entwined.
A thought you had, now lost in the folds,
A burden...
