Misguided Meditations

I am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.

Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff

to well-positioned see
and hear

touched by wounded toxicity.

and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.

The Conditions of Living

The Conditions of Living

Stark organisations of my observations
Respond to beauty with pure elation 
Instead of chronic devastation 
Process the abject consternation 
From contrived over-saturation 
And acute mass manipulation 
That should be in legal confiscation
Truth found...

From the Girl Who Stole Him and Your Heart At the Same Time

I’m sorry to you from the bottom of my heart,
I never wanted to be the reason why you were torn apart,
It wasn't my choice for him to depart,
Although I take the blame, sweetheart.

Firstly I’d like...

Just Like Her

I now know the feeling of regret
To want to change something so much
You would pay the devil with your soul
If only you could truly forget
The warmth of her beauty, the joy of her touch
And if...

Modern Consternations of Lament

I write poems quickly with not much patience
And need suggestions with recommendations
Regarding poems which were written by me
Designed for the average and not aristocracy.

Grows and Did Decompose

Each seed sewn we suppose always grows;
Dies and then eventually does decompose;
Make room,
To bloom;
Is something surely that everyone knows.

A Walk Among the Dead (Original Version)

In the blackest hour of
the blackest night,
That the world had ever seen,
In the darkest dark,
In the blackest night,
At the darkest hour in between,
I went forth among the tombs,
For a walk among the dead...

On that night...

But find soon that the rains...

Sharp Street Shrine, March 2014

It's cold and it's windy
But still that crowd meets
To stand with respect 
At the top of Sharp Street.
The Bearers stand at attention
As though shrunken by age
Since those seventy years
When they occupied a world stage.
Now they...

Grasping Distractions

Maybe it's just me.
So, I'm asking,
as focused, yet open
as I could ever hope to be,

Do negative correlations
between inhaling
and exhaling
Earth's sensory WorldView
resemble, for you,
too,
a reverse correlation,
dipolar co-arising
appositional contrast,
in-between grasping on
and distracting off?

I am not sure why

Old Pulp

It comes wrapped up in clear mylar,
like the ones comic people use,
insides faded, creased and yellow,
big red letters boast of the west,
small rips and tears from ancient hands,
and the collectors before me,
