Endless sunflower field
Rhythmically swaying in the wind
Like lazy ocean wave stretches
To the distant line of horizon
Touching the edge of the sky
Melting into hot noon brilliance
Boiling all shades of yellow into
One burning brightness of...

The Wrong Train
London fog, harshly early with strained warning,
Looms all over the image of the hectic city
There’s the smell of mists and the taste of
Frozen rain gathered before dawn.
Pulses brake and start,
And lungs are besieged by distilled...

To be near the altar in silence.

Outback Truckers
Wheels turning, churning, fighting for a grip
mud oozing, clinging, sucking for purchase
rivers flooding their banks, water everywhere
trucks fighting trying to get through and deliver
their precious cargos that are desperately awaited
sometimes gasoline or much...

The Wait
Each time has a special place
And every such place has its time.
When nature seethes with strangeness
Where the mind in exquisite isolation halts itself and listens
For the rumblings of a something large and not easily defined...

Maiden of Musical Moonshine
Music is an undying
art of soul ~
an abstract eden, where,
euphonious unicorns
glide in strawberry sonatas,
amplifying rhapsody in
ballads of flight,

tease those
jingling breezes,
infusing breaths
in every lifeless aroma;
where I...

The Train
She’s walking past the tombstones,
Just came from her mothers grave.
As she passes the last stone,
her hand graces the top,
A chill shoots down her spine.
The wind is blowing her hair in every direction,
While the...

Animus
A hiding place, a warm and darkened room,
A lit doorway, bright against the dark,
Cold against the warmth, a frame for odd
Assorted stranger-forms whose faces loom
As quarrels over (what?) convulse and rend them,
Leering laughter giving in...

Tears of Time
T i m e stops for no one,
as searing seconds swerve
through seasonal squalls,
thawing frost that sleeps upon
the necks of onyx roses,
where pain is etched in skeletal sins~
across pruned plumes,
fleeting through amethyst air,
merged in changing...

My Painful Disguise
My Painful Disguise
Every other night,
When I look into my eyes,
I see a sad sight,
Cause my heart is in a screaming plight.
