His lungs failed him.
He taught me that the lungs
harbor grief.
His lungs are gone.
My grief has only just arrived.
He used his lungs...

Mine Mean Mien, Hence Deserved Cross To Bare
Upon reflection of fatherhood,
onset of hands-on schooling
fraught with narcissism
a role I lept in unaware
with slim success
unknowingly portending how fatuous
frolics spelled ultimate doom
with theoretical strings attached,
when snagged,...

The Hunger
For days now he had hungered.
His search took him along many an avenue,
where his pleas were so harshly ignored.
But his need was such he had to continue,

A Rich Rhyme
Louis Watson loved well made, toy ships, and had a fine collection,
Since father was a sailor himself. Like aged wind's novel directions.
Louis loved sailing toy ships on Crystal Pond, like gaiety filled youth.
He'd pretend they...

Fallen through the twisted tangled web of lies, we hope to emerge and breath,
though our breath flees us quickly and we suffocate soundlessly in the dark,
and our lives are forever tossed through the green unpredictable...

Twilight Child
I feel so strange these days
Hollow
Disembowelled
As if the core of me had been ripped out by invisible hands
And scattered to the wind like desert dust
I am like a ghost
I drift – wraith-like – through the...

Once
Once,
About ten minutes ago in the year
2006 or
2549, depending upon which avatar or
Messiah is consulted, I
Tumbled out of my bed to the
Untranslatable

Cackle of
Frantic voices
Descending.

Queen in our eyes!
Goddess in our hearts

Built careers ; Educated a nation

She learned to live and love
Unperturbed by failure unruffled by haste...

Before Achieving True Love
A smile, a wave and goodbyes were exchanged
She said she would try to remember the good times
After the misery they had endured
He replied he would seek the silence of the night
It had been an...

Riot of Word
Guys, all you are good at is scolding a cop,
Yes, some of your statements have meaning, indeed,
But words with no reasons won't get you on top,
You're giving your fellows a casual feed
Of rhyming curse words...

The Sigh
Graceful sun brightening the day
Whispering shadows where it may
Growing green pastures for the hay
Coloring the heart with light they say
Soft amber moon vibrates through the night
Turning the shadowy earth hazy with delight
Beckoning to the animal’s...

Gloomy For a Moment
FOR A MOMENT
Your cry isn’t loud enough for the world to hear
So wipe your tears.
Even your so called ‘friends and companions’ are turning deaf ears
Wipe your tears and look up to the hills, from...

Dunkelheit
calling all mistreated jugglers
and wretches of condemned madhouses
bewitched by fingers of freak fame
the spindly fingers of trickster twins
that open the floodgates to occult caverns
unleashing the brusque wraiths
the brittle symmetry of her glacial eyes
cast down from...

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I saw her just yesterday, the paragon
Of all that a woman could be. Tall and tan,
Proud and proper, short hair, not butch,
A beautiful woman dressed to the nines,
Dripping confidence like an empress. ...

Vapid Finger Gazing
Imagine for one moment, one misty mystic moment,
how best to use those golden float seconds,
moments, hours, we as mortal creatures
abnormally fritter into some quaint spurious

Life of Iron Smith
Smith was hide and water,
hide shone,
water flowed,
heat was intense,
as the furnace roared,
and neared smith's hand,
his gloves had blackened,
by the leaping flames,
his eyes were widened,
by the red of the flames,
his perspiration was in streams and all...
