    As the Moon appeared to swallow the night.
And with another miserable day... just hours away,
    They all slept to...

    Had no experience to the rigors at sea.
And their disillusionment grew... on seeing the crew
    Entirely encrusted with earwigs and fleas.

The front door closed behind me.

Along the city's mourning streets,
eyes glanced up,
and quickly looked away.

'Ought implies can'. 

In the Ethics seminar,
I could not help feeling like a fly on the wall.

Words drowned in heavy water,

"Missed" 

if you wanted me
to write about
rainbows and unicorns,
I would have to say
romance was never
on the menu of 
the grinning soul,
in the days
when war came.

lines drawn in sand, see,
grains easily blow away,
to reveal what of...

In the darkest hour of a day,
My lids seal tight my vision.
At once my myelin propagates

I received a novel item in the mailbox today.
It wasn't the usual bill or another political survey.

A hand-written missive so rare that I'll...

All answers want to be given unto you
As swiftly as you can illustrate them
Point to their essence, serenade them
Aboard this passing ship, my view casts not a glare, nor reflection, nor stare,
Roaming freely as the...

Black band t shirts
And faded blue jeans
Combined to clothed creativity
In a child who silently screams
Isolated and introverted youth
Cynicism constantly growing
Dark moments and blue bruises
Covered by the logo showing

Mind numbing frailties
and paralyzing self-doubt
His world is ten...

When my aureate prismatic sunrays splurge from my gun,
You open up your silk golden yellow petals,

Vine of flowers growing expeditiously and vigorously,
Heart shapes of each a detail of true valentines galore.
Twists and turns ever climbing, heading for the sky.

Like an unassuming lion,
He paced around my camp,
And I, oblivious to his scent,
Peacefully, I slept.

This stately beast, with a bellowing roar,
Made his presence felt,
I gingerly marveled at his majestic mane,
Consumed by his intoxicating presence.

Like a...

Love means unconditionally to me 
It never means conditionality 
Never down your neighbor’s leg should you pee 
Never use its rain as excuse, you see 
......... 
 
Contentious relationships will decay
Don’t just love your neighbor,...

tonight as we sit here
on the banks of the creek
the opalescent light of moon
slips momentarily
beneath a cloud
and i am swept 
in the depths of you

night's breath is rising
then falling delicately
across my almost bare skin
i shiver...

Great, legendary Harry Houdini

Ruled the roost during his hey day. 

Enthralling the world with magic tricks

And death-defying stunts. He loomed large.

The greatest magician of all time, most say.
 
Escape-artist he certainly was!

Shackled in chains, or...

Thunder and lightning charged the dense sky
Watching shards of a rainbow swiftly fleeing
Flashing blacks and greys permeates the eye

Forsooth the heavens were vexed with rage
Hearken to the voices of the...

Her love is virtue,
 Closely knit their hearts mend each others broken pieces,
 Like improper fractions,

 With his alarm set for eternity,
