The Mask of Labradorite
Thrice the night—the day!—both fell to sleepless slumber,
But now in Spring, though yet again: The third was three in number.
I sense a wince remind itself,
Of what it means to be,
Instead to beg for booked...

Over the Edge
Jack and Sam
were two inseparable souls
Best friends tend to be like that,
especially if both were born on the same day
They were two good looking kids,
who liked to play rough and tumble
Didn't mind scraping their knees...

Legend of Bog Hollow
They’d crossed the great divide, to the other side of the ‘Oh My God River’.
Our Trolls were struck by the ‘Bridge Too Far’, it set their hearts, to quiver.

The Chinese Horoscope, Preserved
“Dragons don’t live up to the talk.
I’ll find a way to fix the wagon”,
Opined the jealous Jabberwock,
“Of the scaly, lummox dragon.”
This foul fiend then, most inhumanely,
Pausing to munch a trembling snack
As his...

Flying Solo
She struggles to provide the essentials
Everyday
Every waking moment is like a cast iron weight around her neck
But this was her flower
And if her only option had been wringing a damp rag
This little flower would surely...

My Driving History
For some reason
I really like to drive,
and ever since I was sixteen,
when I get behind the wheel
feel free and alive...
Only once had an accident
when I was seventeen,
pulling out too fast of the driveway,
into my parents...

There Is a Gravity To You
there is a gravity to you
whenever crossing the room
it is an existence that bends light
into an aura capturing my every breath
a plasma that penetrates every atom within
with memories of long ago
when you first walked...

My eyes are not what they once were, but
I can see you clearly whooshing from
your mother's womb, sluiced between thighs
the grunts, shouts and cries reverberating
eyes closed, arms slightly waving hello
or gesticulating indignation awakened
as life...

Glazed like raku pottery
In charcoal rainbows warbled all dark
On pidgeon necks
Like hell’s angels, dumbed,
Blowing smoke through your mind
In a haze of dreams
The city is made of a giant fractal wart

Meandering
One spring day meandering in a meadow,
I saw a butterfly whose beauty matched that
of May's azure sky.
With blue silken wings like that of a fairy,
she flitted here and there -
aimlessly as butterflies seem wont to...

Locket
Old stinging eyes,
From ancient tears,
Watching magnificent gold,
Swing back and forth,
Like a pendulum,
With a rusted locket,
Held fast to it.
It's been thirty years,
Since the locket was purchased,
And worn fashionably upon her neck,
The girl who was lost,
In a...

Whispering Prayers In the Dark
Sweet baby, I bought you a soft blanket -
vanilla with tender dots, a llama attached,
to welcome you into this chilly world.
And darling girl, I whispered prayers for you,
on nights you spent in the dark...

The Old Jalopy
The old jalopy feels unloved and unwanted.
Many years now she has languished
in this long-abandoned junkyard.
Unhinged, she is an utter wreck.
She had been kept for her "parts" but now, not even for that!
Very rarely, a...

Summer’s Echo
There was a time not long ago
When flies could fly and crows did crow
When flowers bloomed and trees turned green
Where baby animals careened
A time where eggs did hatch
On top a prickly brown patch

My car.
I had just filled it with gas.
I had just bought a snack for the road.
Candy in my hands.
Too much sugar, but it’s better than dying in a crash.

The Stranger
Above the decay that feeds this ground
A Destroying Angel strode and gazed around
His carrion birds careened in flight
Above the broken, spectral sight
Of the lost, abandoned city.
An ancient prophet counseled from his mountain,
"Drink not, my son,...

Reckless
We had fun when we were young,
When seemed life had just begun.
We danced nights at the beach,
So filled with dreams to reach!
Reckless once, against the wind,
Hair untamed, wild, unpinned;
We were rebels. We were free,
We...

A diamond in the sky
Brilliant and beaming
A beacon of hope

My days were worn like a badge of courage
My thoughts reached out

From Puppy Crush To Real Love
And down our secret country lane
Two souls as one playfulness gleamed,
We laughed beneath the crisp of rain
A puppy affair we careened--
To relish the hours in a shade
In the gush of...
