Ripe banana, ripe plums, are perishing in Uncle Sam’s broiling sun
I cannot stand the scorching heat that is swelling up from the...

Over yonder pastoral realms, with heaving mounds of green
Birds of variegated colors shine, where.streamlets gleam with opal sheen.
In circles round, fleetfooted Zephyr sweeps the laurelled ground
With footfalls that loom, a sweet scented voluptuous sound
Which gently strike...

I had a Dream with Dragon in it, yes, just this morning, yes, today!
And the Dreams that linger, that I recall, are usually bad, I’m wont to say… 
Haven't seen 'Day of The Trifids' in...

Who will weep for my noble prince? Who will cry
With belly swollen with sorrow, and tears long
As the Black River? Who will hear the clouds sigh
And turn black over red clay, and being strong
Not feel...

Gone I past the planetary galaxies
 Lounging on the back of comfy comet
 Whistling:  here I go and i will be there, through fearful void
 The  blackish abyss and eternal nothingness
 Slipped to...

Silence...


...Just wait...


Wait a couple seconds...no, really.

Just WAIT...


In the distance, 
a tremble of the air itself.
A subtle quiver of it's molecular structure.
A charge, causing your hair to come alive.

*CRACK* A singularity so vivid, so dazzling,
it blinds...

Two old men. That’s all; not much to look at.
Their frail, broken shadows shrunk against the sunny morning
Brightness slowly searching its way through gnarled branches
Overhead, and crisscrossing the red and black pieces
Upon their welcoming checkerboard.

The storm comes at midnight
It will be quite a sight if I’m right
Preceding it barely a sight will make many angry and scared
The sight could be anything
…
Ha! Yes, even to those prepared
… You seem confused,...

Celebration of Las Animas

The shadows know
When I shout into the void
Of obsession’s chaos that swallows even darkness,
Fractured light in jaundiced eyes,
Where withering blasts of winter hibernate in masquerades,
Promises lay in crumpled thoughts of raging anxieties
To...

Dave Percell

Dave Percell was many men,
Many of them were meaningless.
Five faces we will talk of here,
Some of kindness, some of fear.

The first I will attest to
Rises with the morning dew:
With ruffled hair and smiling fun,

Ionah: first

Angry winds tore at the sails of the distressed little ship
Waves crashed and harried intent on destruction
Below he hid shaking with fear and loathing
Begging to be cast into the storming broiling...

Enchanted by skylarks I surrender my time.
Day's sun unabated riveted me to broiling heat,
I stew in my skin. Every toxic thought
Pollutes my surface as is intended,
But corrodes and cankers their patron's heart.
The statue has a...

That breaking and exploding on us...

On my way into town today
I watched the clouds and dreamed away
Of how my ancestors in their day
Traveled slowly on their way.

Trudging on foot or ambling along
In wagons that were horse drawn
Or perhaps if they...

but in an angry release choking me to my deceased
the madness of being hovering over me
I see the ghostly form...

In the dimming light of her bedroom,
a child sits facing the wall in her bad chair.
She has to go potty, but she doesn’t dare.
So she stares at the wall in the gathering gloom.

I stood in awe 
and watched him work
unyielding metal, forged in fire, now bending, 
moulding to his will somehow, unending, 
the blows raining down, 
the hammer's kiss 
drowning birdsong and the forges fiery hiss.

The church's steeple was a beacon for that rural countryside.
He'd gone to Sunday School there, there he'd wed his bride.
The young hero returned to church, alas, to be borne to his rest;
Young, all too very...

Love Is War

I wonder who will walk with me thru the "Storm"
To keep my hands "Warm"
With a Crown of "Thorns"
Shirt Worn "Torn"
Body "Scorned"
Walking on "Horns
Flames of fire on...
