and a soul dead from mourning. ...

Lyric Epic Poem

Of silver, bright and ever pure,
The greatest song the spirit knows,
A legacy that will endure.
A kingdom grand, of sunlit gold,
Where riches flow like endless streams,
A story waiting...

Pillaged Poet
I heard echoes of scurrilous snarls,
from my conscience as it spoke
contemptible remarks aimed at me.
What shame those words delivered.
"Fatuous one, why does your hand quiver,
mimicking the trembling lips of a child in fear?
You dare...

Home Clown Poet
Shuddering awake in a plane
32000 feet above home, family,
Commitment
Right
Clown inside me thinks he's cute
The poet sticks to the shadows
"Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you cry alone"
Tired of being alone
Tired of numb...

Holocaust
In midst of night,
When I was deep in slumber,
The memory rattled,
Eyes sunk with fear,
Saw the houses crumble,
The trees tremble,
The thunder storm made me nimble,
The ocean in fumble,
Tried to reach me and hug me in grumble.
I...

Some pretty brown birds nesting on a tree
Prank frequently at my other room balcony

Of messing it up, bringing a variety of leaves and twigs
They also build thin nests behind...

Too much focus on others skin complexions
Never once has this path been effective
Do such fools need...

The Demon Hunt
What a pathetic spectacle she makes –
The wordless poet, sunk in her stupor of defeated uninspired misery
She sits alone in the darkness,
Encompassed in her imprisoning spotlight of gloom
Surrounded by a million lights of happy souls

Burning Sensation of the Soul In Fury
Woe unto you!
a miserable acquaintance,
it seems you want to taste
the unpleasant half of me
and toil in the inferno of my anger.
Get up and leave!

to inflict misery and disaster.
As you go,
