A sliver of bright light
seeps into the darkness
Echo of voices reverberate inside my head
I'm in limbo,
I can't move
Am I alive, am I dead?
I don't feel any pain,
I don't feel much of anything
But there's a sense...

My friend has gone shopping for chicken stock.
I miss her so much.
The drapes are drawn
I have to see, cannot be closed in
I miss my outer side so much.

Outside, last winter’s trees are clutching a few...

To Hellie's credit, she had rightly judged...
for, all told- the young man was quite shady
so from her guard-post she would not be budged
for she was most loyal to her lady

And when he cooed and whined...

[the spirit of this was written after hearing KISS', "I was made for loving you"]

I keep hearing that aliens
Have thought-interfacing technology
And if I put forth the intention
This beacon will bring them to me

Sweltering anger spills raw emotion 
dispatching choppers in the air,
intense heat disseminates murmuring voices,
discharging menacing messages packed with fear.

Suddenly the academic mob appears, 
and storms up the bullet rigged stairs,
while the deceptive tree watches with...

"Crazy in the Time of Covid"



“You’re crazy” he said
“Is that code?” nonchalantly, she replied
“Not when you have your hands tied”, he cried

Cabin Fever had well and truly set in…

When conformists' adherence to
 irksome, empty, shallow, hollow
 obsolete rules

 overrides unadulterated substance...
 imported intuitive works
 of essence, potence...spirit

When lettered law
 obscures, obliterates
 disintegrates
 vital verve

When egotistical opinion
 ascends higher, reigns over...
 tramples on authentic...

** A trauma on Xmas eve, 24/12/2010, late night.**

     BLOOD CHRISTMAS

Christmas bliss! Christmas bliss!!
Bliss turned sour, sour turned blood.

Follow me,it's this way Alice
Through the woods to the white Queens Palace
On the way we'll stop for tea
to visit old friends you'll be glad to see
Then you'll rest up so as to feal cocky
before you...

Existence evaporating in loves empty extinguishing,
Resistance resonating amidst forthcoming futile exile;
Distance desecrating dreams dormant diminishing,
Subsistence sacrificial amongst hominids hostile.

Disappearing divinity divergent of idols...

Bernard has been begging
Bernard has been begging Lord God ‘Please’
For life of buffeting unease
Bernard’s lung’s finest sound an odd where,
He’d been trying all his life to ease:
Lots of menthol that should make him sneeze 
And...

In searching of peace
soul of writings sought hermitic milieu

O loneliness of mind shrine
know that you’re curse!

O loveless love of wedding heart
know that you’re curse!

On the nib of starry pen
all words of loneliness and cruel love...

Sprawled over grasslands yellow and desolate
Peppered across the breadth of ancient mesa
Who hides her creeks as they pass obscurely along
Subtle like cracks in an egg

With the first hint of dawn she is yawning, stretching her...

Titillating drops of pleasure fall,
Showering down, halting tension's thrall.
Soothing warmth massages, eases pain,
Dispatching stressful remnants down the drain.

Caressed by warm pulsating stream,
I surrender myself to lazy dreams.
Imagining I'm in a far off place,
Wrapped in serenity's...

Our spring arrived!  Its welcomed rebirth, so

resplendent- yet, confined from it, are we;

together, home alone- nowhere to go,

ruled by a monster-virus we can't see,

dispatching fears of its life-changing blow-

God- bring us back to normal...

These are among my favorite things
Drinking coffee in the morning
While watching the news
And writing in my journals
Recalling my dreams.

Talking to my wife
When she wakes up
Filling the room
With the light
Of her love.

Dispatching my nightmares
Replacing them
With love...

Don’t you agree with my ability
to loosen up on our times in no night ?
A river thing was flowing
through foliaged silence.

In deranged hour of the
neck tie, you throw up obscenity 
on road. What ? Chicken...
