Peace In the Nowhere
"Peace in the Nowhere"
Ghosts remain in this place
they read their words
marked each day on walls
like prayers, it gives them

someplace relevant to go
Ghosts commune in this place
disowned long ago or walked
off the...

The Sleeper and the Supernaturalist
"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"
The Sleeper
shone as she walked
through the Woods
shining alive
like nothing
natural could
caught
in the moonlight
unaware
the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,
"beware, beware"
barefoot softly
the Supernaturalist
transfigures instead
from under shine
she bares...

Scattered Sheep
I see them running around the town searching for a new home; everyone is moving to where destiny is bound, broken hearts, with no one to mend the hole, wounded bodies left bleeding on the...

The Leap
I was half-mad with despair,
hopeless in love and life,
at the end of my rope--
so I chose to drown,
to cease all pain in
sweet oblivion. to be
no more, to be gone....
And when I flung my
young and strong...

Summer Perdition
after 'Berck-Plage' by Sylvia Plath
(1)
A sheet of glass, this expanse of water.
How its tranquillity mocks my unrest.
Bloated beachballs and balloons
travel the park and float from diminutive hands.
Bodiless voices call in the sun
and bounce off these...

In the labyrinth of thoughts, where the soul and mind intertwine like the vine
In the labyrinth of thoughts, where the soul and mind intertwine like the vine,
A dance of shadows and light, where memories whisper like the wind through leaves,
There lies an abyss, deep and wide, like an...

The Hungry Stones IV
I felt a sharp thrill in my heavy heart,
But hardly knew if that tip of a dart
Was caused by delight, fear or curious mind,
And felt an eerie, strong urge truth to find,...

Shimmering in the well-lit maze of...

The Headless Man
if Rowena's kuzzle was
the center of the Earth
he'd look for a shovel
she was an underpass hooker
exploited by a grim and grimy past
reckless as the day is long
a tourism so shameless
her own union set her...

Jaina Dharma
Jaina Dharma
Jaina Dharma, my divine path to Moksha or salvation
to achieve my soul’s ultimate liberation;
through self-effort, non-violence, non-absolutism, non-possessiveness,
renunciation, retrospection, introspection, serenity, and stillness.
I bow in veneration to those already liberated,
traveling on the prescribed paths...

The Powers We Never See
The powers that be, undefined, ruthless, opaque authority
Shapeless, bodiless, upstanding folk, coercing the majority
Overseeing applications, supplications, ensuring conformity
Specialists in quagmires, minefields, esoteric bureaucracy.
The powers that be, model citizens, high ranking royalty...

Bamboozler
Scorn is my aim,
It is my hope for salvation.
This was never real! Never!
it was nauseatingly surreal
“Relationship” you called it,
“Abomination!” I say,
Twisting and teasing my yearning.
Inspiring my passion, my affection,
all to be...

The River
Inside the water
where they float or sway in their rusting roots
are horse tackle,
buggies,
unhinged parts of eighteen wheelers,
a girl on a tricycle, her bones still cycling in the drifting meld
circle squirrel and possum pelts,
The...

Leather Jacket (Finished)
I was doing great
Holdin' on
It's been 32 days
Since my best friend passed on
His son, who now lives with me
Walked through the door
Carrying a leather jacket
Out came tears just like before
The kids huddled around me
As I...

as a child, i had them terribly --
night terrors.
they came to me about the same

The Vestige of Fifty-Five Words Per Minute
Solvent light diminishes metaphorical seconds,
wiping them with a blur–a stroke–a motion,
challenging the wings of emotion to pulse and live,
To etch and carve something in a flight of furor,
in a whirlwind haze of hapless thoughts in...

Reverse Polarity
Why does my consciousness get swiftly corroded?
Why my conscience finds itself in contradiction?
Why with strange thoughts, words, and actions mind get loaded?
Why betwixt likes and dislikes there's constant friction...?
Soul soft, as a gentle tender breeze...

A Fly Taught Me to Fly
It came like a whisper
on wings too dirty for angels,
a fly with no gospel—
just bloodlust and fire.
I don’t remember the bite—
only the stories they told me—
the brain-boil, the silence
of a body already leaving,
the baby...
