Gothic NightsMy chamber teems with tensions, taut, that logic can’t withstand,
fragmenting mental masonry with memories unplanned,
as bitter tears from hazel eyes reduce the stone to sand.

Coronavirus Kerfuffle - Bellicose Smile
Bellicose Smile
Ghost wandered living lonely,
on the screaming silence street,
rubbish rattles wind blown west,
where last week walked our feet,
A dog barks in the distant haze,
spring leaps wildly on,
upon our green the grass grows,
mowers for now are...

and darkness hides the day...
When rain seems to make me oh, not gay

horrific images pumped straight to the cortex
Ophthalmologically dosed every hour
Raw footage unedited,

Macabre absorption byway of...

Retro-IntrospectiveMy life has travelled roads less taken,
a tumbleweed, east, west, north and south,
all around the world.

each just as fair, opened to discover
by youthful emancipation from entangled roots.

Persephone's FingerPersephone’s Finger

Pointy finger tested the air,
Wriggled in a sensuous Fatima dance
Etch-a-Sketching the crepuscular sky above,
Shaming the heavens for what lies below,
Marking its inky darkness
While the...

The Fork In the RoadIn my travels among the roads of life,
I stumbled upon pathos, sadness and strife,
Sometimes I headed down the byway without a thought,
Not caring of the consequences and misdeeds which brought
Broken promises, hurtful words and lack...

The planes exploded in air,
To gratify firebrand preachers
Destruction and death everywhere.

Train torn up beneath ground,
Fanatics end innocent life,
Spin godless chaos...

SojournerShould I stay amongst the Balsam trees,
animated by the morning breeze?
For I recall that I must leave.
