8 o'clock now.  I'll be there  at 9 to
Open.  Meet me there at that time."
He smiled happily thinking...

The moon was neither full, nor was it not
She shone down radiant lighting the misty ole night

As a gentle breeze streaked my face
Alone by the sea, clouds, the moon and me

What lies between extremes of boredom and bliss
for you
and those you most love to work and hang with?

If your Business As Usual day
sends messages within
redundantly reiterating how life is always coming too fast
too needy
too deprived...

I was in my backyard sunning, while lost in warm daydreams,
Enjoying red raspberries, while listening to the birds sing.

Lying on afternoon chaise, in the golden midst of hot July,
As I watched mauve butterflies, and lazy...

I am…

Washing a stormy night clean, its promise
this empty grave,
where sunshine suddenly erases the shadows,
who sigh like dejected, broken tears,
surfacing in the dewdrops, 
lifting the darkness of a night,
before the blessings,
before the trembling silence
started to...

I swerved hard to avoid her and hit a...

Methinks, I post literary endeavors inxs
but tis with blood, sweat and tears
in case ye did not guess,
who struggles to craft reasonable rhyme

Hallucinating stardust, laughing like the distance
Isn’t echoed...

From June to September
I cannot remember
A damn thing that I did
What took me over
Was a monster called Bipolar
Which escaped from the shadows where it hid

And to add to this schism
I was fighting alcoholism
A Demon that...

As I was driving the usual way,
Out Chapman Road to start the day,

The face of someone I had seen,
Never in...

I hoped that you could still
speak to me in pain,
and never let me leave your arms.
I hope you never forget me.
I write to you,
my favourite person, wishing that you’d read.
Hoping you’d hear my inner screams.

where are the humans?

They lost there way through lifes existence, 
the line of evolution,
the old generation,
To the reengineered generation,
To generate the power of the matrix 
And continue the master plan,
The great equilibrium , 
Monitored in...

Sitting with my Mom on the flight,
I could hardly contain my excitement,
flying from Lima to Pucallpa, Peru,
to meet Dad and friends for Christmas,

Sitting on my seat by the window,
noticed heavy black clouds we flew in,

Onward I go
taking a step further in search for peace
liberation
freedom from deceitful misery
that obliges with the scent of insecurity and intimidating inevitability
of a world filled with so much insincerity and atrocities

Onward I march into the...

Falling, falling, falling
Always calling – softly, breathless,
On wings of flakes, so quiet,
Silence drifting, hallucinating,
Dreaming of the moments,
When heartfelt prayers are answered…

Falling, falling, falling,
Drifting in from the winds,
Soothing away the trembling ache,
Broken whispers of light,
Blessing away...

When nylon nights
trade crystal colours 
in the stalls of nimble 
butterfly wings, 
I blossom as an 
irenic origami 
fervently fabricated 
with snowflakes of

stealing royal violets 
from the smokey estuaries 
flowing beneath the...
