Compelling Confusion is so uncool -No Way? Yes Way-
Crumbled like dust and I began to stumble like ashes with a gust of wind – that’s what I felt before exchanging smiles and goodbyes…

Picture Album Stories of My Mom
Rhyme  Quatrain

But using pictures to tell stories of past and present,
Yours remind me of days not so recent,
And ones of grateful recline
To golden years so sublime.

Mother, telling...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 23
I conversed with the lone demon,
Who had asked for redemption on an earlier day
On this day her voice was mightier,
More brave, and powerful
She dared not sing in the presence of the Dark Prince,
But spoke freely...

for perhaps a day;
and when the boys came out to play,

Virtuous Vibes

Have peace abide in me and you
May happiness brew so true
Who knew...
I’d be without a clue
But, with God,
Anything is possible

He loves us vibrantly
He loves us...

In the chamber of silence where souls converge,
Masks lie in wait, the nocturnal guardians of our being.
Adorned with grimaces and velvet smiles,
They are armors against the unknown arrows of the estranged world.
Oh, how they descend...

A Promise
The first drop,
and each one after,
merge in a cluster of blissful storms 
Flourescent 
dreams lie in wait

Smiles prosper like figs
And the unremitting truth is

Mercy Street Is Closed
At the end of Mercy Street
lies a forgotten wharf.
A single row boat is 
moss covered.
The battered vessel is

receiving distress signals
from no...
