Though the moon cast its calming glow,
shadows lurked in the night's dark flow.
As the final...

Shadowland
Chained to the addiction of tempting Fate
What if I told you that my life was once like yours?
Torn between love and hate
A shadow silhouette lurking between life and death
Fuelled by an emptiness...

Confronting Inner Demons
Written: September 2nd, 2023
______________________________________________________________
In the depths of one's mind, foes reside.
Within oneself—a war cannot be denied.
Refers to individuals—their internal strife,
Struggles and spurs that shape their life.
In the realm of views and desires so deep,
Fear and...

Wading the Meramac River near Jesse James’ Cavern with my son…

Where the Heart Is
Everybody is born crying
At least give me the freedom to die laughing
Never in defiance no never in fear
But in pure unadultrated happiness
Let all the decisions, choices, mistakes
Fall in meaningless puddles of stagnant water
And let me...

Jewel That Took the Crown
A coral pink design on glistening ruby tapestry--
Reminiscent of ingenuity of sculptor's blueprints
In scarlet-orange tinges and teal-green imprints
Hanging spectacularly in the cosmic art gallery.

But darling I’ll never give up on that love.

Inside in my heart I will be carrying my love for you.

The River
Imagine being in a river,
Where the current is strong,
And you don’t know where it ends.
From the start, you’re thrown into it,
Only to be swept away.
As you slowly sink, you can see others,
Besting even the strongest...

The Gilded Leaves of Autumn Sigh
When fleeting storm said goodbye
The darkened sky detected a lie
Besting clouds her thoughts host
Drenching doubts that block riposte.
As the cobalt sky and ocean meet
On the sapphire arc revelers greet
The changing season's vibrant theme
In golden attire...

Her Name Was Regret
Her name was Regret, with a rocket step
She was chestnut flashing, released lightning
In a century past, an age of side saddles and corsets
She was feminism set free, blazing down racetracks
She matched the undefeated wind

Envision Life
I am reminded of the life I have
And not the life I should deserve

Have I a life yet built to be worth?

Pretending to forever be...

and there, evade my own contention's stall -
Within thy grace and arms, insider's maul
of secrecy - thy besting, thy...

Feeling the jolt but not yielding to the strain
Riding through and roughing it
Steady on the board and rising through it

Where There Is Love
Far away from her, far from comfort zone
He goes there, where life beckons him
Remaining true to purpose and meaning
Atop the mountains or deep in the valleys
Revering her love, as he journeys alone.
Maneuvering around life's dead-ends

Resolve
...for R.S. Thomas
Working the earth, wary of worsening

though there'll be scarce yield.

stony ground, God's approbation
his redemption, lonely supplicant to nature's
unforgiving wield....

Latter-Day Don Quixote
When and how

Warp, Inc
I work for Warp
It’s a warporation
That builds for war
And our warring nation
Financed by banks
With no inclination
To give their thanks
For the world’s cremation
Wily banksters
Have mastered inflation
Besting gangsters’
Fake money creation
They were dead set
To make a cash fountain
That’s...
