The Calming of Her Storm

"The Calming of Her Storm"



My mother gave me solace
I fell into her deep hollows
to kiss the wisdom of her 
breath chanting quietly 
I still hear her 
nightingale birdsong caressing 
the soft fluttering 
of her tireless...

Soft as gentle summer rains,
Loud as natures angry clouds
That gather in ambushed lanes,
To confer with the wounded boys

It'Ll All End In Tears

caught in the crossfire, of well-hidden snipers
that aim through the lens, of venomous vipers
paralysed by poison, blinded by spies
unarmed victims, enemies in disguise
shadows that taunt us, ghosts we let haunt us
vanish in the light, of...

Blood Tainted Monday

Semi - collage dreams suddenly collapsed, 
While the chill of September's dawn crept into my veins, 
And the scent of the wind outside smelled with horror, 
Gunshots from ak-47 disturbed the airs' silence instead
Of the...

The Survivor's Curse

Wrath
Here I stand, upon
This hill, this hell of gunshots,
Pouring blood, whiskey,
Cadavers made into walls;
Unashamed generals lead
Color-adorned men
To untimely demises,
No food, no water,
But you must not leave The Cause,
For you have been called to fight
On the...

while glowering about something else
now already
once again
forgotten...

I seem to have lost my good-sensed humor
along my stumbling
isolating internal say

Toward this red STOP! sign
searching for a different way

To find a new Earth center
for healing...

Who The Police Protect, Part II

people argued in vain,
some said, “Monster,” some said, “It’s good
that ‘the rich’ know their pain!”
Tyler ignored all the hoopla,
knew nothing would be done,
all cops were bastards, after all,
he had already...

Soul Stance River - 13

The river smells like damp cotton this morning,
the weather has been so complimentary to our exertions
frost invades the nights nicely and soft sunshine comforts our faces in daytime,

How can a stranger standing at the corner,
leave me breathless, in a trance...   I ask you?…

one brief encounter could change a life?

You were the sunlight, after...

A Rhapsody In D Minor: Part 2

PART THE SECOND
Bathed in our brother’s blood.
Bearing the bread.
Bearing the bomb.
On we plow, without repentance
without shame nor penance.
Muddy boots filled with determined feet
it ignites
crossfire with the speed of darkness
tap, tap, tap, brrrattaatatattat, kaboom.
legs like molasses,...

The Teacher's Lament

In the classroom, a battlefield unseen,
I stand, a warrior with chalk for a sword.
My armour, compassion; my shield, devotion,
Fighting for minds yet to be explored.

But the enemy advances, cold and gray,
Assessment, a relentless, crushing tide.
