and through the eternal ending.

He'd scattered his seed 'cross numerous worlds.
They flourished.
They perished.
Flora, fauna, innumerable forms,
aeons of evolutionary warfare.

without the mercy of design.
Quadrillions of cadavers
paving a road...

I wake to a monochrome world and I yawn
The reds, greens and yellows awaiting the dawn
Out on the water, my luminous float
Rides unseen ripples in fear of no boat

This morning my roof is my fishing...

I was a child, yes, even little old me, 
curious and happy, my smile wild with glee. 
But at the tender age of seven, 
I learnt that family go to heaven.

I found them both washed up and lifeless.
First priority was to bury the bodies
before...

DEMOCRAPS AND REPUBLICANTS
Admittedly I am one creatively crazy cat
And people everywhere better take note

leaping over mountains and towns
ascending long rays of light upon still water
sparking lights of infinite glory mesmerized
my thoughts keeping me in perfect harmony.

The old man sighed
Sitting on a rock next to a pond
Crookedly balancing Yin and Yang between his eyelashes
Conversing with the Lady of the pond
Jade eyes and un-wrinkled time
In Her beautiful face
Held in his hands
An old...

Beelzebub arrived between the christmas lights strung inside my dorm,
Buzzing on my walls and brain to display what he must warn.

Voices scream inside my head when no one is around,
Dragging me deeper into my mind...

Patience

Sitting all day with a fishing rod in hand
By the pond,

Passing every day in the hope that
The new sun of tomorrow
Will bring a ray...

He once was happy, smiling all day.
As they cam down the path, some even came to...

GONE FISHING

A few years ago, I went fishing,
With Larry & Don off the Jones Beach Pier,
We had no clue if the fish were biting,
But at least the day was sunny and clear.

We first stopped at...

How long will corrupted adult waters 
encompass and swallow the innocence of a child?


How long will they teach of  santa clause and the tooth fairy?
How long will they lie?
How long will they say every...

One of the fairest maidens from the Columbia to the

From dusk to dawn
Shoutout to Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong

Don't overlook every song
Migh just be here for awhile, or not that long
Regarding me being gone

MY HEART IN YOUR HOMELAND


Cupid must have been busy he forgot my heart,
And so instead of a man I've fallen in love,
it is in the mountain ranges my eyes dart.
Sweet, the giddy puffy white clouds...

How could the weather forecast not tantalize me
To play truant on the eve of Miss Gaybird’s test?
The river would be an invitation the next day
To go and try my luck at catching a tasty trout.

A slim smooth man
Every step being his command
His fashion statement being high in demand
But his distinction being pinstripe
Pinstripe always dressed fresh like a spring ripe
Assortments had to be just right being black and white or...

the moss-covered rocks shed the surf:

and on the glimmering and soggy sand... 
the writhing shellfishes won't survive without the...
