Where Gladiators Fought

Where gladiators fought for life,
we meet to fight for love
The constellations in the Roman night sky,
celestial spectators, bathe the Colosseum
in the white blood of light
The night is throbbing with the heat of our battle,

The harkening leader, a teacher of strength and confidence, whom takes

The Warlord Wars No More -1

Clemency is a quality that I never understood

The Gladiator

Outside the gladiator's window, outside in the growing gloom of night,

The nearby volcano is almost invisible, only smolders silently now.

Inside his room, he can almost tangibly feel the darkness gathering about him,

Can almost tangibly feel...

with a velvet muzzle.
Because childhood was a soundproof cage,
and I was taught to swallow every scream
like communion.

“Poetry is not therapy,”
the judge says—
but he has never been buried alive
under the...

Theater of Utter Charm Part 20

What would it be like to start all over again, 
I mean isn’t that the reason, so many of us pen,

The Guardians of Chacoan Canyon

Hear the whispering voices of our tribal ancestors,
Echoing against the rough rock skin of Chacoan Canyon,
Telling the outsider white devils, that this is sacred ground,
Do not dare to tread here, for your own salvation's sake,
Lies...

divides 
numbers 

intentional

a much loved 
addiction 
novel and short

Pre Occupation 
of all the glossy 
shrouded shrouds

minds spiced
scab picking, their
word salads, tossed

the windbags

To the arena of death, sharpen thy sword, and raise
Your shield high, bow to the emperor, known as

Time Traveler Who Would You Choose To Be If You Could?

Have you ever sat or laid down
Deep in thoughts that float 
Into your mind and your imagination
Creates a movie

What if those thoughts made you think
About your ancestors and what kind of life they had
Putting yourself...
