I will survive the rainstorm of lament and listen to the mesmerizing murmurs of the deep
I am alive in the...

In conversations,
In biographies,
In resumes…all poets are writers,
but not all writers are poets.
On a careful look into the mirror, when not looking
for wrinkles, but staring deep into...

Dear Me,
I can feel my 40 year old mind awake from slumber;
But these brown eyes stare back at me with a defiance
That I know to have belonged to a 14 year old me.
Consider this...

Wings of Change
Remembering when
Perched high above on rocky crags
Cliffs weathered by times handprints
I saw far and wide to distant shores
Tendrils of desire radiating outwards
Riding the briny mist
Being carried by the breath of the ocean, my constant...

City of Angels
If, as hippy folklore claims, it never rains in California,
Then the watermark is never washed out of the phoney cheque,
And when you’re dead and gone there’ll be no one here to mourn ya
For it was...

A martyr poltergeist left an elegy
Not much eulogizing the choice of a strategy.
Its undead friends never met their ends, they cannot be
The least affected by all this atrocity.
A cry of help was muffled
In the ruins...

Last Night I Dreamed
Last night I dreamed of you
With roses blooming in your eyes
I of late had often seen this
But today this image wavered, differed
Was it really just a dream – or,
Was I so desperate as to believe
That...

Aftermath
Last Night
There is a stillness in the house
While I wait, as quiet as a mouse
I soak it up, this quiet respite
For very soon, I'll be more desperate
I will need the peace inside myself
To put my...

Recycled
Born out of time,
I felt different from mankind.
As a child I would fly at night
and leave the body behind.
Soaring like an eagle
I am dust upon the wing.
I am atoms in the morning...

Psalm of Death - Longfellow Rewrite For Ap Lit
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Death is but an empty grave,
And the soul dies in that slumber,
Which will rot its bones away.
Death is merely but a passage,
No, the grave is not its goal;
Beyond the boundaries...

But boys will be boys and he's just a guy

Because it means he likes what he sees
That's all that should matter to me

In the Aftermath
Pots and pans fill up the sink, with baked on, crusty bits
Here's several plates of dried up cheese, and dips with soggy Ritz
The kitchen floor has sticky goo, where bowls of gravy spilled
And scattered glasses...

Mirage
This is not a place
Not a place
where trees grow
where water runs
freely
This is a place
of the quiet
solitude
A place of
fullness
emptiness
Yet to the people of old
The forest dwellers
The water dwellers
The nomadics
This is there home
Its your home too
In the...

From humble beginnings his art was

from red ochre handprints on cave walls

Comfortable being Miserable
you were completely comfortable
being miserable
like pain was a roommate
like the yelling was a lullaby
like love was supposed to sting,
and silence meant everything was fine
he broke you in chapters

Grabbed by my hair, my scalp is on fire

ON THE FORECOURT OF THE STARS
ON THE FORECOURT OF THE STARS
Mama Mia! What a voice!
Her depth of emotion carries the show.
Cast of friends slow burn the audience.
Shimmy of stars with sensual overtures.
Mama Mia! My eyes fill with tears.
My granddaughter’s resonance...
