Lava pours to staunch a ruptured womb, green mists warn from the pit of one to walk from it, slick and groomed.

It is hard to believe we have to put up with this shat.

Premium Member Necronom IV 1976 H R Giger
the ghost of science, born of blasphemy ~
a fossilized fallacy,
seized from the metallic heart of Mars,
seeks light amidst night-terrors
like an alien sculpted
from artificial accolades,
an embryo stuck in the interstellar state
of becoming,
stitched within radioactive ribs
beneath moonless...

Mind of a Woman
The summer winds caress my skin.
Teardrops like squeezed  lemon drops spill.
A joy ride down my cheeks.
Joy emancipated from sadness speaks
Splash, it splatters on the ground.
A crown like structure  in slow motion seen.

Life cannot...

Unmet Dreams

I remember me feeling so excited
I couldn't resist smiling
I couldn't resist thinking of my future

Honest with you and
Honest with myself

Between The Covers - Tribute to Rain Literary Magazine
Pull back the covers and experience,
Just how fresh and crisp it is inside,
Discover a poet who once lived among us,
And built community,
Out of encouragement, fun and wondering

Like you, he pondered the mysteries of foreign flagged...

Symbols In Flight: 1941
I'd have loved to see the bluebirds fly
above the white chalk-cliffs of Dover--
and as they were blithely soaring over,
immersed in thought I'd lie
in calm repose upon that beach,
admiring their swooping forms,
evanescent, in fleeting storms,
like ballet...

Deep in his heart had urgent need to go just one last time,
To place where he grew up; would childhood memories rebound?
Went with fear and misgivings; was he wise or asinine?
Step after step, he strolled...

“Shades of Blue, Daily Devotions” 

shades of blue
safe harbour 
waves lap across
our hearts 
we leave the safety 
of comfort 
out into the 
unexplored,
Life, how far 
can we go,
minds lift 
anchors 

shades of blue

Understanding Words
I recall words, revisit them,
are surprised how many
have different meanings to me
now than before.

Memory keeps racing into the future,
while stacking up more interpretations -
more import from words.

Symbols and pictographs,
evolved into a written language -
words created...

The Dustbin of History: A Requiem for Western Media
Once, they claimed to hold the torch,
To light the world with truth and reason.
But the West’s media empire—
Was born not in truth,
But in treason.

From BBC’s royal scripts,
To CNN’s manicured myths,
From Fox’s fury-laced fables,
To NBC’s polished...
