Prolegomena Soliloquy - Pt 1
Tell me, my friend,
does infinity not unsettle your reason,
or is it a comfort—to believe it meaningless?
Look beyond the rust of your disbelief—
this isn’t the frostbitten dogma you...

But they wanted to build a big highway, exactly in this...

The Whore and the Sea Part 1
The moon was neither full, nor was it not
She shone down radiant lighting the misty ole night
The waves lapped the shore
As a gentle breeze streaked my face
Alone by the sea, clouds, the moon and me

The Killing Field”
Ariana nodded, tremolo fingers,
and they ran across the killing field,
watching the steel-toed kite ascend—
a fleeting instant of triumph in the vacuum.
Josh scoffed as it dipped,
both caught in the pull of the abyss,
falling but...

My time on the shore
Along the edge of the shore there are no footprints
nor are there bits of driftwood from lost voyages
just the dunes behind and the horizon bedding down
It’s been this way now since...

Rule of Threes Three
Will you make the cut?
Or settle for a shortcut?
Coaches' scuttlebutt
Execute the steal
Professing rather than real
The truth to conceal
Blessing progeny
Highlights God's sovereignty
Not autonomy
Man's wisdom swaggers
'Til adversity staggers
Making Sandbaggers
Men try to judge Him
When self-righteousness rules them
Worthless...

Yes, I read my Dragon, the story of good old… ‘Robin Hood’.
You know, the first super hero, who was really… super good.

Rain
rain hitting the asphalt, the cracking concrete, water weaving
its way down the overpass. Residents cover up with plastic,
a conflagration of yellow light on garbage bags
hitting tree tops, branches, leaves old and new. Boughs
sagging with the...

Odyssey From Africa 9c10a
CHAPTER 9c
Swift a sand shark spiraled nearer
Baring teeth it eyed them coldly
Han spun full about and kicked it
In the center of its body
But at this the sand shark merely
Shrugged and moved off several...

Two Dog Night
Two dog night
A stillness had crept in under a cloak
of finely sculptured snowflakes, descending
quietly from an oppressively heavy sky.
It blanketed deserted streets
that longed for the busy life
they had been built...

In Marked Territory
I surf through the crooning crests
of warm, blue waters,
breathing poetry and prose,
carved in topaz and turquoise,
for I am the goddess
of the bittersweet estuary,
crowned with foamy salt and sea glass,
intoxicated by inked
sapphires and solitude.
This quill longs...

Girl On a Dolphin
Favorite Carolyn Devonshire Poem
History Rising from the Sea
Treasure from the sea
Golden doubloon
Sixteenth century artifact
By ancestors hewn
Earth's history lays buried
Beneath five oceans
As undersea tremors
Create violent commotions
Freeing from Spanish galleons
Precious metals, gemstones,
To greet early beachcombers
History on loan
Memories...

Courtship Encumbered
Nestled is the slender twisting trail canyon between timeless steep
aspiring mountains and meditative sopheric sea waters
The frail road deepens into lofty thickness further from the harsh
volcanic valley where passion’s throes are ever...

In a moment of magic I once gave her a juicy innocent peach
Not yet knowing that she harboured a sweet nascent dream
In which as a youngster she knew that she would marry the one
Who handed...

But I am Lucid and in control
