Into A Dark Raging Storm, Tempest And Hail


Into a dark raging storm, tempest and hail
alas, sadly all was to be to no avail.
Twelve pounders broke loose crashing about
some over the wind praying in a shout.

"Samsara in the 5th"



The phenomenal world
is illusory, it calls for 
nothing of substance
romance is laid out
legs and hearts spread
open like a catalogue 
touched through the 
remittance of words
clicking like 
manolo blahniks
across a warm keyboard
cool slender...

Eighteen hundred and three begins U.S. destinies.
Merriwether Lewis and his comrade, William Clark, agrees –
They will go forth, avoid Frenchmen, fighting growling grizzlies.
To find a water trade route that flows west to the Pacific seas.

Tomorrow comes, and lo and behold
WMD, Weaponry -  Middle East stranglehold
Chemical Scuds, conventional too
What will Saddam's madness do.

Visions of - Gulf No 1
Burning wells under our lovely sun
OPEC panic, its not their day
Millions of...

You love to double dare,
double down
Raise the stakes and double the bet
You love to double dip,
double back
Lower the cage and shark bite thru the double mesh net
The risk of getting caught
is part of doing the...

she knew all the moves
Queen's Gambit
Sicilian Defense
Bura's Desperado Sacrifice
with her arms wrapping me
we barreled the freeway
racing headlong into the wind
balanced on two wheels below
as free as mustangs in the mountains
abandoned in the moment with the...

Jayshawna was thrilled that Thursday had finally arrived.
Daddy was picking her up today; and she had not seen him for eight years!
She had known this all week, but she dared tell no one else, for...

My Inner Conflictions
	


	I have been upheld in this room for many years and a lot of tears and frustration has ran

Word Lyric for Music #4

”Hearing the Wind in Garden City”

Got off the train at silent midnight,
Standing in the glow of a swerving streetlight,,
Then I heard something fly through the center of my soul,
It was the...

A funny thing happened on the way to the Red Barn
I opened the door and out Kia flew out, 
Jumping over a stair or two
Clearing the porch, there was dew on the grass
Kia sliding along...

In the After Hour, afterlife, away from
borough and a woman. I bellied barstools 
for balance, contemplating the ensuing draft;
Rumpkin, to be exact. The taste of nutmeg
calling forward a wayward heart, swimming
like Lochte, trying hard, to...

he looked at the gun double barreled and lean

but it was an old water pistol from his childhood


the rope around his neck had become a bunjee

and he bounced between floor boards and ceiling


the stove was...

Gray matter subjected to accumulate
incessant overall slack heavily larded
earlier in marriage, viz Zison clan
evicted Harris family,
whose hardship unemployment did exacerbate,
neither me nor birth mother worked

both this sir, and mum mate
afflicted with psychological disability
where physiological torture...

The day it died
No-the day I died
It was beautiful
Sunlight gleaming
Across windshields
Casting shade on blacktop
Birds singing in trees
Leaves trembling in the breeze
Urban landscape
Somehow exotic
Both familiar
And somehow alien
I recall the foul stench of construction
The gentle laughter of...

Just about a mile outside pyrite town
there's black powder mountain, forever looking down.
It has a grizzly disposition and a couple veins of mean
lightning licks the summit at every opportunity.

Some went up to tame it and...

Gone
        lit-up-light-of-
nothing peculiar
we-you-and this
sewing tight the nebulous.

Salted tongues of silence,
pillow-sex for the nearly departed.
Adjust body-images,

He rode in from Texas, calmly chewing a piece of straw.
Folks rumored him a Ranger, some sorta man of Law.

An expressionless face, eyes close 'n stern.
Long barreled pistol, well kept 'n tied down firm.

Each night, when I’d come home from work, 

She’d jump out of her bed, 

Run down the hall, then down the stairs, 

Hug me and kiss my head. “Daddy,” she’d say, “I’m glad your home.

A life uninhabited by the suicide soul
life ground him down and took its toll

grandeur created from dreams obscured 
Being an Entrepreneur creating millionaire lifestyle

I noticed her two weeks ago. 
She flew into my physics lab 
like hell itself was after her 
and tripped as she sat down. 

She's always late for classes, 
stammering her apologies,
