The Mother of Hundred Billion
I am the mother of hundred billion,
Now dumb and ears shut,
Orphaned by my own children,
For whom I bequeathed myself,

Now I stand chained and hand cuffed,
Like a slave...

Night Terrors
It’s you I call to in my dreams,
To pull me out from the fear I’ve seen.
The ones that hold me in captured fright,
When slow motion kicks in,
And my screams are no more than wheezing murmurs,
When...

Dom Perignon '61
"conjoined with the whole
we play our life role
exuding a scent
granting love consent"
We burble and bubble likes ripples in a swift current.
It's our role in life, but not everything can we control.
We scowl and frown, howl...

And dreams slowly dissolve , counting not the cost.
Behold there stands a spirit, undeterred, unshaken,
Let your spirit soar as your passion is awakened.

A crystal drop on the child face
who left the shack where mum would hide.
Alone in the streets of guns and race,
nowhere to go amidst the smog of pride.
The dust of a land with thorns...

Brainstorm-Finding Abigail
Finding Abigail
“Abigail! ~Abigail!...where are you, my love?
I can’t see you, nor smell you, let alone touch you…”
A nebulous cloud encroaches the corridors of mind,
Where a fallacious hope seeks its refuge in silence.
“Abigail! Is that you?...

As I sit underneath my fabled willow
Alone and wrought within an empty earth
The sky is blackened before all I see
The heavens open, its tears reach for me
Cooing, crooning upon my wretched birth
Washing clean the illusions...

Love Is Eternal

cleans the inscription so it can be read.

weather report
a tempest gathers on my horizon
with limited purview and cloudy vision
encroaches quickly on my unsettled mind
my true soul and nature is threatened
by downpour rapids and torrential rain
blighted foreboding develops as
the parsimonious option
a rainbow in...

“Forget the rain; get ready for a ride!”
On a magic carpet I soar o’er sea
Worldly troubles melt away as I glide
To another world where flora is lush

Ode
I Hear Autumn's Call
Walking across a footbridge, strewn with crimson leaves,
I watch as they twirl and pirouette in Autumn's chill wind
leading them in a rhythmic dance that it skillfully weaves
as they plummet, leaving branches naked and chagrinned.

The Bitter End of the Road
The Bitter End of the Road
Travelers coalesce as if from as dense fog
about the grounds of the retreat.
The lodge shimmers silver-gray
amongst the changing autumn woods.

How To Ride a Bike
I read that book
When I was way to young
To understand
Its intricacies
The utter
Humanness
Of the plot

Like your mouth is
Just before
Being sick
The helplessness
As the two
Plea for help
From each...

Poetic Pestilence / Or, I Hate Bugs!!!

no longer mine,
in a house that is no more,
before me, a glass of wine,
and a book I've seen before

than...
