Childhood Dreams Part 1When I was a child
Everything was magical
Full of mystery and the unknown
I read hundreds of books
The library my haven
My home
Hours upon hours
Night and day
I read and got lost in text
They supplied me with adventures
Secret journeys
Fun...

Open Oceans
"Open Oceans"
Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys
praying
preying
hungry hearts
count the days
wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers
to be answered
children become
strangers
reading
strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,
swallowed hole
in the...

“Forever”
When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,
she closed her eyes
and listened for the notes
her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the
labyrinthine trail
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,
she...

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

Salvage
"Salvage"
Salvage the fixating salvation
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside
treasure climbs swimming
the ladder from the deep of all things
reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping

The Tower RebuiltI shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

Artificial Iris

Orwell was lurking in the background, somewhere;
the dream was eerily familiar,
the words and their meanings, read in Syntax,
once read between pages of hardcopy in school
were aptly ignored -

Trial of Red and White FireCenturies ago
In ancient Hermopolis
A debate roared loud
Between a proud Christian priest
And a strange shepherd
Who was a Manichaean
Wearing ragged clothes
And who was looking for sheep
“Flames will consume you”
The priest roared at the shepherd
Because their debate
Was going...

A sight to behold, place of all sins ridden,
Where the great rivers give life and churn,
A thousand diamonds and the trees sing
Along with the wind, ruled by the great King.
