Your presence is a sight mortal men are privileged to behold
Your beauty is phenomenon envied by the king’s mistresses

I s t r e t c h my arms,
caressing collapsed dreams,
l o s t 
within the 
debris of darkness,
rising from the 
volcanic vortex,
drifting with scorching fragments
resembling a love turned to ashes,
from scarred skin and...

This poem was written alongside the painting Pentimento by Sally Storch.

I absorbed the image, beyond the capture -
        it soaked into my throat 
   saturated, became...

I met a man who was a builder, harder life than some.
His lifetimes measure built of him the man he has become.

A carpenter who works with hands, grown tough through each nail driven.
For each connection...

"I would rather be on a leaky ship that is mine, than aboard a more seaworthy vessel going where I don't wish it to go"—Poet's alter ego

One eye seen in the way,
Starring into the direction to stay.
The plant has a seed,
About the size of a bead.
Far to follow;; but so slow in the light,
For one who sees dreams; so far out...

oooo ah, This man called Peter?
It is I, did he not hear the Master?
He doesn't need to prove any point
but he was with Him on the mount

At Tabor a while ago, him a fisher

The reflection of what you see
To me, it deflects the purities that my spectral lenses catch
Matching with every insecurity of
Impurities overflowing as water through a gutter
Cluttering me from seeing my self-worth
Birthed from times of weakness...

At the coffee shop, a chap walked in,
Ordered a latte, wore a sly grin.
With a carrot, he stirred, no spoon in sight,
Perplexed, I stared, as my thoughts took flight.

The buzzing barista continued her work,
Same as...

so easy to talk to
rarely do i hear from her

I didn’t heed her words,
 I thought they were unnecessary,
The atmosphere was friendly, 
and there was no hint of anything strange,
 I was surrounded by light.

Suddenly, it struck like a deluge,
Monsters stared through the window,

It can get a bit chaotic…
deciding which Glenn Hughes album
to listen to next

he has so many different flavors to choose from
funk, blues, heavy to name a few

I try to ease...

CHAOS

Chaos is the absence of all order
As is now with me, totally adrift
Supposedly I was the constructor
But who was really the architect
I assume blaming me was correct

Not peace nor love seen in the skies. 

Looking on stirred, with jaws agape, 
As blood does...
