In the tremble of the evening and the rustle of the unfinished letter,
My aged hand, shrouded in the mist of memories, writes the last farewell,
Under the blue cloak of celestial silence, waiting for the silent...

Look past
the faded little girl    braids and bows 
in a       polaroid picture
buttery yellow skirt 
curtsying     a smile
frog prince 
imprisoned   ...

The Coin

I am a survivor at all costs
I refuse to lay down my life
Living the Good Fight of Faith
Until my steps cease to be

Someone said to me recently
Looking me straight in the eyes
Said, I mourned...

How many tears can one person cry?
How do you learn to stop and allow them to dry?
The holding of breath in such dispair,
Looking, searching, for your loved ones, but they are not there!

How does your...

What can my lips say when thought falls silent?
Strings of disconnected thoughts run over my forehead,
Night gathers within me, it's later than I believe,
And each idea, a frailty, they are all strange and unexpected.
I confess,...

"The Green Bruise of Daylight" 

A person can die for love
one sees red
the other sees blue
purple bruises

one sees red 
alarm lights siren
purple bruises 
detach into the grey

alarm lights siren
there is no more singing
detaches into the...

When you call upon fate to be your dance around the fires of stars,
Do not do so with half a soul, or better not do it at all.
Risk the entire universe or leave the dice...

Tumble the marble blue and green,
quarter and three read hue manatee,
tea wistfully crusted in the wind blow.

Apple cherry and pineapple, all good,
delicious and decadent in flavor sips,
careful dear there’s, something, lips…

Mirror here you seem to...

Suspended Transcendental Meditative State...

Temporarily relieves, loosens,
and detaches worldly weight,
albeit bearing heavily straight
away upon well balanced,
awk credited miniature oblate
spheroid, sans cranial

dome to help alleviate
this principled capital one citizen banker,
whose penurious plight
seeks to make lightweight
oppressive burden clawing

Royals of Emotions   

As a confusing annoyance grew inside my head;
A silent torment stormed and throttled as I lay at night a mist my bed.

The old unforgivable and the new unforgettable;
Not noticing what's in front...

My love burns like hot coals.

My eyes burn like hot coals
melting into the back of my head.

My brain is just liquefying in love
I love you. I don't know why I said
I didn't. I was alone...

Strolling through the dark woods
night approaching as the sun sets
the shadows were now lengthening
casting weird shapes on the floor

Birds pass on their way to roost
all are now settling for the night
squabbles from the rooks over...

Times seems rampant
Your body language an easy to read pamphlet 
Heart beats faster quicker the blood transits 
Robbery of the heart the approval of this bandit 
Revealing feelings that no longer compresses 
Making you think,...

Hearing my soul and heart would not be funny at all.
Even though each day I work, play and laugh they say.
All of my heartaches have come within a simple call.
Reality preys upon us all in...

Whoever exults himself will be humbled
 but whoever humbles himself will be exalted

To ponder why,
In deep dismay
To Daydreaming in the stream of consciousness
Mixed in mind and heart desires
That detaches from current task and test,
Don’t quit your daydream

Trance aid fantasy
Intervision encapsulates me

Hallucination musing
Don’t quit your daydream
Imagining inattention gathers
Inattentiveness...

As I pass through time
in my physical vessel
I connect the rhymes,
balancing them on my mind's trestle.

My consciousness detaches
from emotion and commotion
and intricately latches
onto an outstanding, expanding notion.

At twenty-three and so onward,
with every new midnight,
and every...

The Missing Limb
I was driving a long when I saw half an arm, from
elbow and down to hand, on the verge of the road. 
I stopped picked it up with my right hand and it

Doctrine detaches your mind, 
Away from rational thinking,
Makes you obstinate and rude,
Unable to be understood.

It proceeds your choices,
Causes insecurity and disgust,
About your normal feelings,
As it brings very low ceilings.

It does not free you to ponder,
On...

Detaches,
a part of me. To find some space.
Time cracks a dark matter with unknown speed,
colliding to release the invisible. Chilled
particles land on distant psyche. I will
give you blue rains.

It hurts when I think between choice
and...

Hold my lonely heart once more
In soft, adoring hands.
Remind me that your love is true
Until I understand.

Again I wandered from your touch
To what I thought was best.
But now I find my heart deceived,
As shame does...

Happiness is my dream
misery is my dreadful reality
People laugh, I cry
my sins are all I have

God looks away
Satin lends a hand 
My saviour is no more
Every day gets darker
Love got up flew away

Hurt keeps me...
