Mine emotionally fraught days of yore
spilt presentiment tinged blood
into sucker punched battle fatigued
war weary veteran.

He (yours truly) doth
presently ramble, scrabble, and trundle

always expressing themselves
open and affectionately,
it doesn't matter if they're

glittered not in rainy foggy mornings.
In vain she knocked on doors in search of fame.

Uttered from beyond thick lighted cigars,
idle promises drifted hazily,
like suffocating smoke...

When everything around  me has gone crazy?

Imagination - January 27, 2016

I sail over green forests,
Ride jet streams above the seas,
Gain speed like lightning,
Earth eagerly seeks to please.

The North Star looks and lingers.

As planets crook their...

Stands the family who raised me
Across the Atlantic awaits my future 
Preparing our life of matrimony

In between lies destiny
Changing life’s course is her device
Cloaked, unseen in the moonlit night
As a...

Ride jet streams above seas,
Gain speed like lightning,
While earth seeks to please.

I sip nectar from Big Dipper,
North Star looks and lingers.

As planets crook their fingers.

My soul soars over Orion,

 fluttering in the holly branches at play,
each berry juicy and red
 taken gladly where colors once bled.

Clusters hung in the fore ground
 crimson scarlet rubies downed.
A dozen red chested heads...

Politicians on the high ground
Whatever could that mean
Upright, upfront. upstanding
I'm not sure I've ever seen

Speaking on their platforms
Telling of their don't s  and do s

I finally met the Queen,
This impossibly Grand Dame,
A dream from just a teen
And now I’m in her frame.

My mother just adored her,
She’d fill my head with tales,
Of hardships amidst splendor,
Right down to the details.

But now...

How many minions, I wonder, are out there?
I read the signs and their narcissistic prayer.
Some feel righteous and hallowed indeed.
Preaching their hapless sanctimonious creed.

Ecstatic euphoria, stripped from backs of others.
Would you act this way in...
