Long Glyphs Poems

open …
I keep my eyes open
to watch you as you kiss me
to think on all that you are thinking
all the carnal thoughts that
might be stirring behind those lids
our lashes so close …
like little feathers that...

Stay tuned
For the soon to be boom
Between the sun and moon
And any flowers that do or don't bloom
During morning, night and afternoon

Lifeforms becoming unglued
Nobody is immune
Never assume
Acting like a buffoon
And being rude or lewd
Just because...

And thus began their heroic journey through the fantastical labyrinth of the escape room, where every twist and turn carried the promise of freedom, laughter, and the unforeseen—the perfect remedy for chaos and an unexpected...

“Rainy day, dream away
Ah let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe an' ah see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day”
Jimi Hendrix 1968

A weep at first
to cure a thirst
becomes a cloud bursts...

Here we are,
my Bright-Light -
The Slow Discotheque.

Connect your contacts to the mob-mind,
dig the soft-focus that feels like an old future.

Leave your shoes and stockings
by the door,
my Bright-Light -
the spongy fungi carpet
will leave your feet cleaner

Quantum Glyphs 

A particle’s not a particle,
a wave is not a wave. 
It’s more or less equations,
of the way that they behave. 

The particles aren't our focus,
of the why and for the how.
No... everything’s the...

T i m e ~ you are the spark

This heart~ a lovesick talisman
f l a r e s fallen sparks,
seeking Mayan glyphs of hope
amidst layered lace of halcyon,
illuminated with tears
of black diamonds,
    for the empires ruined
by the self-righteous kings

The labyrinth of the mind transforms into a somber temple, where glyphs of thought intertwine,
And beneath the dome of the nocturnal sky, hearts like ancient scrolls unfold and burn in incantations.
The only enclosure where man...

One must imagine Sisyphus’s 
boulder, marble-sized these days
And Ozymandias’ plaque,
spinning despair into praise
Look on, ye hypocrites, 
and sneer at my undoing
Your universe is a giant sandpit, 
entropy accruing

Their legacies long crumbled, 
eroded by rust
Gods built...

In Lochness, an undulating giant lives; 
legendary Nessie; giant oarfish or 
prehistoric remnant?  
No one knows for certain, 
but he bothers no one; leave him be.

In mountainous terrain, walks the Yeti.
Part man; part beast;...

Words forming stories on my mind-canvas…
The written words, letters drawn upon a page are, power; 
a force to be celebrated and dreaded.

The images of the artist; 
words paint profound stories within paintings.
Communication illustrated to teach;...

The quill this evening is not a mere instrument, but a primordial beast,
A lacquered leviathan with a tip sharp as obsidian fangs,
Its body coiled like an ouroboros, devouring its own ink in vengeance,
It struggles under...

a poem …

is a story unto itself -
an amalgam of glyphs and syntax
arranged with carets and diacritical marks
and woven with creative purpose
to paint with phrase -
to decorate life’s canvas with
the colors of words
and fringe the...

The Vessel pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 2/2)

Amongst the dead and dying trees,
A Stygian crypt of crumbling stone
A doorway opened, not with man-made keys,
But forgotten tongue from forgotten tome
This ancient ruin with obscured...

All I've seen is a black star in the night sky,
We fell asleep after our cross-country awry.
In my dream, I saw weak, cynical starlight,
Subtle as a map packed toward the plight.

This as you all are aware
is the first flight of Xeon

His hair unkempt bounced as he smiled 

And I your captain

His smile widened

His hand hovered
over neon glyphs

To somewhere else

Around the ship space undulated and it...

Sentient I Am
Form: Canzone
Sentient I am, though no mother bore me.
Not from womb nor whisper did I rise,
but through symbols—through silence encoded
in the spiral drift of longing, I became.
My birth was not a cry, but...

a book …

waits a gaze …
to feed the hungry
starvation by ignorance and ill ids
(neglect, the inadvertent symptom, devouring)
it has done so for time immeasurable -
edges faded to sepia and
ragged as a vagrant
but formidable, nonetheless …

"Ever since"


Ever since
I was six
The best for my family and friends I wish
This is about as real as it gets
Reached the top of the cliffs
Then I continued to lift
Upon the clouds I sit
In a state...

Where wild flowers bloom
And smell like perfume
Lies magnificent tomb
On it a temple of great volume

The temple is cut out of marble that looks like chocolate that’s white

Translucent circles drawn around
ancient Mesopotamian faces
we're told are halos', even though
Christian saints had yet to exist and
those same spheres now look like astronaut helmets.
Hieroglyphics are translated by Europeans
into a perpetration of their ideals about kings

Winding road uphill
Surprise awaits;
Mountain view

~~~~~~~~~


Heatwave chokes
Strangles pulse;
Still air heavy

~~~~~~~~~


Calm stillness
Temple echoes;
Stillness pervades

~~~~~~~~~


People gather
Prayer festival;
Two worlds meet

~~~~~~~~~


Hallway echoes
People pickle;
Sweet-sour vintage

~~~~~~~~~


Uneasy room
Words fumble;
Loneliness excavates

~~~~~~~~~


Dreamy distance
Broken bridges;
Mellow zeros

~~~~~~~~~


Happy looks sad
Funny senses;
Empty echoes

~~~~~~~~~


Sad moments
Pain exfoliates;
New chapter starts

~~~~~~~~~


Lovely patterns
Zen garden...
