what with his wizardesses

A gaping black-
Curtains of a heaven, drawn
Set adrift
Across the wilt of the zodiac! 

An’ so, she emerged

An’ madness dreamt into reality 
A bow, to tether-
Then glide down humanity
Every heart string, to vibrate an’ tear-
Tooth...

Mediocre son (me) crafts letter to his papa

Impossible mission to escape end of life woe
visit courtesy grim reaper 
inevitable for every mortal,

Folie à deux
("shared madness," or "madness for two").

I suffer in silence, though not alone
kvetching old curmudgeon (me)
(once upon a time, a promising
long haired pencil necked geek)
buzzfeeding off life's miniseries
of unedited miseries in tandem

with ideal counterpart...

I come before you, proclaiming you're Brother
Or Sister in Christ's death, that Eve was our Mother
Though you claim (in faith too) that my Truth’s your falsehood!
If all faith’s just faith, how can we in our...

Since the bloody Battle of Hastings
When 'Arold got killed by French Bill
We've seen an endless invasion of French

To wake each morning and begrudge
 the daylight  intruding  into that life..again.
To feel desolate that once more no prayers were answered,
despite frantic, blind pleadings for an unending sleep.
To know that again, the charade...

There’s SO MUCH Left to Learn!

There’s so much left to learn, dreams I hope I can share
that I haven’t touched yet, more new dawns still to bloom.
And I’m blessed by my muse when I pen...

The Dullest Days

The darkest days consume my heart
A thousand laden clouds within my chest
Burst forth within to flood my being
And life is now just one big jest.

The sun shall scorch my Summer joys
While piercing winds...

An ordinary story
Sometimes
So bitter

Yet bound 
And written together
Penned by you an me

Our great annuals
So heavy
So heavy

Of every wonderland
An' madness
We had dreamt into reality

It's our ordinary story
So dance with shadow   
Sway almighty!

When I was just a very young boy
About six or maybe seven years old
I tortured my teacher in the classroom
By never doing what I was told.

At the time to put me...

Set to music
It was faithless stuff
Reminding me
Of the creatures in virtual reality
Trying to discern how to navigate
Through their maze of
Confused white lights
And misdirection
Upheld by a puff of air
With only the vaguest...

stars,
above swirling dark,
in sky drained of color,
below,
sprawling Asia,
spread out in a carpet,
of billboards and humanity.
watching it all from the world's largest tower,
feeling like a king in a secondhand sky,
now walking among streets, stalls, and stooped...

Let me elaborate

On what love means to me

Giving her the freedom

In which to breathe

Give her space and time

To express herself

She is not your prisoner

So don't lock her in your cell
