may not keep the wolf away from the door
or deliver salvation...

Cross all your Salem's in foreshadowed Shalom,
do the math and burn, 
brightly back at Cairo, Memphis, Jericho-less nonetheless turn,
and those of paths now undaunted, not undone to aftermath of storm.
In the land of the free,...

we get over everything
naturally
but the weak need the strong
need someone to lead the way
we need to find a strong mind
a smart mind to study 
an accurate mind to probe
and test our subject

Walking through the corridores at Atascaderos State Hospital

Here to speak to a certain confined patient....

Within the walls of the criminally insanes, incarcerated

Thinking to myself a moment ago as I checked in my arms

How thin are...

It's been an odd dream, hasn't it?

I can taste my breath behind this mask
The sweet bitterness of cold brew and hazelnuts
As I run out to replenish my dwindling stock
And the masses cast their breath about

As...

Here we are, at the edge of the universe.  
Let us praise that we are alive. 
  
Through the maze of this mausoleum, 
Pass the gaze of the singular coliseum; I’m amazed that...

Say hello
to your
controversial
global
TERRORIST

I am not
unreasonable,
but
I can
BE

There is one side,
it is my side
so just save time

If you are not working for me
you are all against me
and you will be
replaced

I dont care
what country you are from

1.
“Communion of saints, forgiveness of sins,”
Worship words recited, relationships
Reflected among restless, inconstant,
Imperfect people, somehow sharing a
Faith which makes them one. I appropriate
These sacred words to speak in hallowed
Terms to the bond which unites our two...

Could have wished, would have shown me earlier,
If it weren't only for the tranquil color,
Covering energy, wasted serene past finally dissipated,
Uncomfortable in others' comfort, glossy sight surroundings,
Reexamining this position wasn't all it was cut out...

   I like the accidental, 
incidental
way- the mist kisses and lifts from the timberline, 
like angelic lung 
that breathes it all in,
drifts to the next flowering, 
a honey bee in a land of...

If I could depart from reality,
and overlook the night's mask
upon the grieving girl, who
exudes the royalty of my perceived
utopia, then by words and emotions
entwined and compelled, love could
transform the mediocrity of my terabithia,
into the enchanting...

Up in the sky!
Not a bird.
Certainly no plane.

Mariah
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Mariah, enigmatic mysterious and unknowable
Brushed her dazzling obsidian hair in the brilliant sunlight.
Indistinctive, but nonetheless inscrutable primal urges
Foreshadowed what one might assume to be inevitable.

Omniscient and powerful was...

I often see astray dogs, roaming the streets for a sense of purpose.
I am quick to find simlarties. 
After all, why wouldn't there there any similarities.
If life is a game of poker, then my dealer...

Famished and flagging footsoldiers;
formerly fitters and farmers.
Facing fatigue, fitful fever,
faeces and foul, foetid fungi.
Fostering feelings, frustrated,
for this faraway, foreign field.

Forsaking fissures and furrows,
forced forwards with fleetness of foot.
Firearms flash and fragments fly far,
feigning the firmament...

[AFTER ALL THE INNOCENT RAPE VICTIMS.]

Ah! Cruel orchards!
Humiliates, tortures!
Until the angel comes
Beneath the abode of stars;
From the heavens mass
Revealing downwards!


Ah! Fortune on Evildoers!
Deserters,
The lusty deceivers.
Cruel dwellers
Of the cruel orchards!
Of brutal colors.


Ah! Vanish their fears!
O victimised...

That you want it,
Kind of sneaks up on you,
Even bigger surprise when you are kissed back,
The feared face slap of precocious youth
That I never experienced in my life time.
But then for me
A kiss...

what makes the heart feel for something it can't touch?
his tears caused contractions for his heart to pulse
floundered, looking for loves heartache to clutch
whimsical solace of her essence startles his impulse
