Long Curative Poems

Was this a bold  endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
 In one sense I was caught between two poles apart  concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish 
difficult decision.
A decision that may...

The Protraction of the Epiphany

Complacency in a stilted light of regret
Vagrancy in a jilted sight of neglect 
Emergency in a wilted light of insects
The urgency of a curative substance to inject

Wellsprings of artificial truth and...

WHITE ROSES

Red horizon, sunset beach
Cranes fly over the moon
Artificial reality removes
time, condenses motion;
Sounds collide ghostly echoes 
Adhere to the walls;

Institutional humanity
Created and fortified
By judgments, opinions
And medical melancholy

un scripted performances, 
rages in a cage,
humanity undervalued,
brains unplugged,...

I chose  
I could’ve been
A homebound hermit,
Hypnotized by the hum
And hue,
Of a high-tech 
HD computer screen.
A slave 
To the
Rhythmic rap
Of 
Clicking keys;
Depriving me 
Of much 
Needed rest.
I’d Search 
For Love 
And friendship 
In a...

A piece for those trying to smile 
While walking 
The longest of miles

I have loved my life
Called it a thousand names
As I fought through pain

All its gifts are mine
They all reside...

No road elects to prune
a wavy path past mindless
parts of this life, 
resembling our ghosts,
my love

I need no hearing,
no strings and
no sounds,
I need only hear your voice...

No love selects a raindrop's
teary glide, 
that leaves a...

If sky is a sea of 
fallen flowers
and dusty diamonds 
glazed in red,
I’ll unfurl the 
saffron sun within,
stretching sandalwood 
arms of serenity,
upon gardens of 
glistening grief,
with healing herbs 
and soothing spices,
from greener grass 
of life...

Upon luscious landscapes where lovers play…

Huntington's chorea one horrible ill

There's no curative treatment or pill

Science does research all fails

Some to no avail

Man can't cure

Still

I'm sure

Of sunrise, boat's sails

A new day offers details

Of a treatment, not a living will

Huntington's chorea one...
