Long Frontlines Poems

Under the cadence of footsteps on worn cobblestones,
At the café where steaming cups held time hostage,
Eyes met and lingered, a glance stretched into an eternity.
A young American, as if sculpted from sunshine itself,
And she, like...

I never told anyone how my ears reverberate in a silent room.
The whirring drone ever present, a conquistador of my private spaces.
This is my cohabitation with an industrial generator.
But I’ve graduated from the torment. 
My...

walk the urban sprawl, 
where skyscrapers pierce the sky 
cities bleeding_assoc. 
carnival lights bloodshot dreams that flee, 
like squirrels unconfined biting frost of winter, 
within the tumultuous mind —

stares into the landscape, tattered, mined;

flickering neon...

As of June 24th 2018
There’s been 315 days since my Baptism by Water.
There’s been 13,547 sunrises in my life to this day
But only 592 of those days in which I have learned to pray
And if...

I'd...

Whence diplomacy fails mankind.
Soldiers amassed with patriotic duties to fulfill.
Some willing, some underaged, some desperate.
Weaponry and vehicular production overdriven.
Military strategies drafted that await execution.
Prayers flood the heavens, farewell letters penned vigorously.
None prepared for what’s to...

We’ve laid down our swords
And hanged up our shields
But the war still rages on in our hearts

We’ve tamed the warhorse
His saddle rests in the stable
But his stride still charges our frontlines

Our trenches buried
A soldier never...

(or, "Your Old Stomping Ground")

There’s a secretary that I know
whose husband recently died
But life somehow continues as before
She has to keep replicating the myth
that everything’s all right –
A savant of the copy machines
A mannequin in...

So much hate   in just one presidency
So much division   in less   than four years
How can   just one man   be the reason for
the riots,  ...

He had a dream
Actually, it was a passion
The dream took him away
To the seas, the sands, the ventures
Beyond this land, onto foreign soil

He had a dream
It was more than a mere illusion
The dream breathed hope...

Satan and the Hallow Oaks

Alone lost for not only does time fade
In only these lives will you feel our eyes 
Beating…Beating
Like the heart of the lost
Like the blood seeping through you wounds
He knows pain
He is...

Corona Virus



For these are terrible times
COVID 19, 
The modern plaque,
The tragedy of our lives 
Medical personnel at the frontlines 
Armed with rubber gloves and face masks
Battling a virus ravaging the town
And the world at large

Sheltered...

A mass of grey and rusted silver strewn
By the sky god from sifted appurtenances.
Preserve of ancients jousting with modernity,
Behind edifice a disperse of brimming slums
With piles, heaps of filth, debris, decay and stench;
Congestion and the...

Smothered skies of soot sink into raging flames 
Torches lift to boundless heavens, blanketing faces with
Autumn air too weary and weighted to breathe
Infuriated fire storm consumes ferociously  
Rampant fury creates a stairway to the...

here we careen through the scheme
riding the vortex of the american dream
seen behind the blind scenes in hiding
keep fighting the design on the frontlines.

Did poorly or was doing just fine
The outcome was negative or had a plus sign
Always not just sometimes
Being one of a kind
Under the moonlight and sunshine
When it took a turn for the worse or was...

Soldiers!
Move!
Running to the other side
Bullet fly towards us all
I see my brothers fall dead
How the wind drips the blood  dust on my face
But i gotta make it
A gun on hand
A missile ahead
All i gotta...

He was a warrior
Brave and true
An American soldier
Of World War II
Many battles he did see
On the frontlines of Germany
He fought with pride
He fought with strength
His friends of war
He did defend
He saved the lives
Of soldiers and...

What's going on in the skies?
Sometimes
It all was just lies

People still trying to cut in the bus line
Attempting to sever all blood ties
Occurring behind the scenes or on the frontlines

So much love inside
Struggling, but trying...

The frontline.
danger lies in wait.
you must be brave, tough and willing to die
for your country.
Freedom,
it's worth fighting for.
Two men go out into the field,
but only one returns.
Covering the frontlines,
they joined together, fought together,
now one will...

must refuse relegation, obey
only the roar of our own angels, then reshape 

breastplates to shield the motherland
from any warlord who dares 

to pimp our flag.
Battlefields have always been a woman’s place,

We were born to bleed,...

You swept the world out of its feet
Made it tumblin, chillin, crumblin
All of its parts seem to echo with crying 
For you to stop, they all kept pleading

But with your sudden grand entrance 
For an...

I left home in dreams of battlefield glory,
When Pea flower dot the golden brown cole
In the delicate bloom of late spring.
I cycled to the frontlines,
Wheels whispering of broken prophecies.
The great willow seemed to know me...
