As aspiration seeks to take its toll,
your mass flotilla salvaged sons of war.

though Satan’s army rallies at your door.
Your youthful fit have vowed to serve the Crown.

sun rays settle skies
prism shelters diversity -
kids breaking hard bricks

wind spreads gentle seeds
prayer evokes mute silence -
too many lost souls

rain drops whet dry soil
scope scoops whirlpools of dry tears -
god should know better

earth circles tailspins

In my sanctuary’s hush, Poe’s tales I clasp,
Into his world, I plunge, a breath, a rasp.
Beneath the creaking floorboards, a heart's pulse
In my mind, it throbs and gasps;
Suddenly, I'm the culprit, in horror's vice, my...

A fragile flower, aching for the touch of morning dew.

Casting vibrant hues across the sky, a...

Everyday games we play
grow productive successes
and over consuming failures.

Every day and night
we try to reduce
RightWing dominant overproduction
LeftSoul underconsumption,
Gap growing devolution
of bilateral failing anti-invitation.

Every mutual distrusting day
quick fix addiction
fuels competitive co-dependency.

Every cooperative night
constrains rabid Lose to...

So let us get facts straight

Made in image of God
Our true essence is living...

Dear commissar 
My poetry is filled with agitation and grievances.
To have stood amid, betwixt disillusionment and
Displeasure before. This plea seek not immunity 
Nor to pile vanity vines rather seeks progression.

Dear commissar
My poetry is the echo...

DOUBT ME IF YOU WILL
_______________________

Sun will cease to shine.

Twlight she looses her blush.

Moon she losses her sheen.

Stars have lost their glitter.

My face has lost its smile.

Hope elopes with darkness.

I have no where to hide.

My vision...

Your wife sits beside your bed holding tightly your hand
Smiling although she's grieving, just trying to understand
You pulled out your feeding tube, chose your right to die
To go on without you after 60 years, she...

Darkest night and longest hours:
Hours to labor and
Hours to trip in the primitive ooze of repetition
Hours to catch up or trade for spare minutes,
Hours with eyes only half aware
Of life and its warnings,
Lifeless and blissless...

On the silver sea, under the clear moonlight, I venture forth,  
In search of songs lost in the depths of time,  
The moon, my silver guide, draws my path among the waves, ...

trying to keep feelings my heart can no longer hide
Emotional honesty is trapped within me,

Vanquishing all reservation
 twilight's prelude heralds
 shadowy anticipation
of a secret amorous thirst
He surrenders once more
to his darkest desires

with star spangled bursts

A slave in her entity
tremulous in her splendour...

WHAT THEY SAY IT IS.

The fashion and law which euphemize every flaw
Is the reason for different notions.
He who's bald, grave authority is extolled,
The insolent is brave and bold,
The snuffler & bulbous-snouted are only suffering from...

Baby steps
Reaching hands
Exploring anything new
Learning what is pleasant, what is pain
Nurturing a new baby doll
Being smothered in puppy kisses
Clinging to the chains of a soaring swing
Frolicking at a family picnic
A mother’s hands tucking me in...

Ins & Outs Magnetized by the Field

ejected from from the module
into the surrounding beaks I mean peaks

Measure men not in meters,
Yet in volume of ventricle, you’ll find,
Compassion therein, one’s true capacity,
Of magnitude meaning, undefined,

How little broad shoulders do matter,
To bolster an orphan through rem,
Nor biceps do shelter maternal sadness,
As she leaves...
