Hiding the Light

...(“Still Life”, 2021, original encaustic)

Hiding the Light

A lot has been happening in my life recently
And that’s a good thing considering
How staid and stodgy I’ve become
In old age....

My Incubus

...Pounding at the resonant head 
of my chest—he of hunger 
latches his fangs just beneath my jaw—
not to sever silence, but to pummel poison.
Tissue parts with wet reluctance,
he with need more th...

I Can No Longer Fight You

...
{“You can’t fight for what’s left in you, 
You cannot fight against the waging war that disrupts within you. 
You can’t be against it, it was fulfilled with nature, the nature of you with every i...

An Amiable Apparition

...In the old city of St. John's,
in the older neighborhoods,
there are haunted houses...
residences with revenants... 
apartments with apparitions...
even schools with spectres;
and there is one ...

Though I Be But a Janitor

...Though I am but a Janitor
Roger White
A dim yellow light filters the tiny room with shadow and pale glow.
In a bucket - trickle, splash, whirl, woosh, trickle.
The door groans and quietly latches...

Lost Track of a Ginger Snap

...Get in your room now,” as daddy fashioned a gun.

Mom grabbed me and her facial expression was undone,
something must be wrong,
I ask she looked at me and welts started to run,
down we hunkered ...

Noodlin'

...With the hot summer sun beating down,
leaving blisters on our necks and back.
Walking through those swift murky currents,
just you‘n me, and a gunny sack.

Dipping our heads below the surface,

A Shadowed Darkened Course

...A Shadowed, Darkened Course
by M. Griswold

I evoke a tale of a shadowed, darkened course.
Where death rides atop his ghostly gray horse.
He's astraddle his saddle with searching evil ...

Threads of Deception: Love's Fragile Dance

...In a tale entwined with Chib,
A love perceived as true, but plagued by deceit,
Her affection feigned, insincere it seems,
For all she desires is wealth, not dreams.

Her kin, entrapped by vices ...

Ye, Destiny, throw no random dice

...Metals at rest as tend to rust, 
Love that latches on looks like lust, 
As diamonds get made from grey dust, 
Ye, Destiny, get deemed unjust. 
Yet, whatso lies idle would rust, 
Love lost of fre...

Where I Am Free

...WHERE I AM FREE


My freedom lies beyond 
the cloud of unknowingness
beyond mists of time where
I disappear into olive groves
which furl and unfurl in slow dawns

Here there are no gates

Nature's Way

...take a look at nature
watch how everything
learns from another

from soil so it survives
a newborn goat latches to it's mother
a family of beavers surround...

The Goodbye Kiss

...Why do those lips
moisten my own - years on?
That labial goodbye, with its embrocate

Sunsets mountains plains
Over ended visions
Clouded atmosphere
Unlock heaven's gate and lightning  latches
Rolling lands of browns and greens

Unbroken

...he sits in his wheelchair
                       waiting
