Now scores of years 
after botched minor theft penchant 
courtesy security guard
analogous to inquisitorial trenchant

Mist, Mist..
Why not whisper, why not speak?
When upon thy shrouded depths,

I’ll praise Him
Through the darkness, 
Through the fears and tears,
Through the worries and anxieties,
Through the worst that I might experience

Through the silences,
Through the bitterest defeat,
Through the despair and discouragements,
Through the heartbreaks that bring...

The deep thoughts that...

carving a curve in the ink of the night,
upon the snow-burdened branches of pine,

As the Egyptian fleet sinks beneath...

Its the year 2012
Predictions came true
Earth as we know
Has bitten more, than we can chew

Solar flares 
Descended today
We knew they were coming
In deadly rays

From detection to earth
Was fifteen minutes
Sunburst finish

The oceans have risen

An accounting of those regrets and remorses that I have, 
My fooleries and follies and fallacies, fair...

Like a star, in the middle of a far vast meadow,
A low light twinkled from his shack’s window
To tell about his sullen solemn presence,

great for knocking creativity down

as I pore over words and sounds

to make my poetry jump off the page

to come alive in others minds

in the most imaginative way.

Contests! we don't need...

How does one consolidate such great feeling, 
Such knowledge, such powerful, almost frightful thought?
Those passionate notions
That I am sudden to see
Unconscious revelations
Making themselves known  
How has it then made itself known to me, to...
