its southern barb cut swiftly to the core.
And as it raged the slaughtering increased,
consuming any force that stood before.

Without Hope
WITHOUT HOPE

but it calls for me,
endlessly faithfull and accursedly hones,
it leads me,
like any given day,
into the soup kitchen of the darkest street in the world.
Everything around me is so...

Under a Shadowy Moon
pure and simple
the smile and dimples
the vanity of being wanted
loved and adored,
such admiration might
cause one to be ignored
thus should such behavior
cause others to favor
simply by the looks of the flesh
eyes can lie

Good Luck
Old Spencer, smelling of grippe, drugs, and death,
he couldn’t bend over to pick up chalk, magazines,
and failed acknowledgements of stupidity.
He certainly reveled in my foolishness.

(Where the streets are full of pity)
Last night! I met an old boxer
in an alley of cardboard;
he seemed glad to see me,
shouted me over for a fight!
I told him!

“Young man.”...

Steady Steward : Time
Charismatic Zoe consistently bears tendancy
of softening strangers into friends
Perhaps resulting from her relocating frequency
Her familiarity with 'all sorts' hones empathy
Inspires trust, apprehension suspends
Fresh town primed to garner aquaintence
In the year charming Zoe turns thirty...

Taunting the Dragon
My head rests on the doorframe, as I'm watching him at work.
I'm jealous of the devotion, and the motion of his hands,
much surprised at the green-eyed dragon that lurks within my mind,
while he rubs...

My Poetry Defines Me
Shower of autumn leaves and acorns,
And rustling sound as I stroll.
Those mesmerising bubbles all-round,
As I dive in the pool.
And also, when, looking into his eyes,
Silently, I can walk thousand miles.
Yes! This is the poetry to...

The colour Purple
In the realm where hues collide,
Where blue meets red, and souls abide.
There lies a shade, both bold and rare,
With regal presence, beyond compare.
Purple, the color of power and might,
In kings' domains, it shines so bright.

Autumn's Silent Verse
I hear the words. In autumn's silent verse
lie anapestic wafts of falling leaves
with golden syllables both bright and terse,
the crimson pluck of summer as it grieves
its loss of verdant shimmer. In the wake
of crisp...

flipping the proper pc switch

hearing the statistics on the

whilst already bogged down

Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars
In the dawn's embrace, as slumber fades away,
Bones crackle, the body in aching display.
Soreness nestles within, each muscle groans,
Yet the spirit persists, it tirelessly hones.
Each morning's wake a saga to unfold,
Back sore, legs cramped, a...

Spring Flowers
After winter’s cold, Apple Blossoms unfold.
Bright, fresh spring brings Bluebells to behold.
Cheery Blossoms burst then dance to ground.
Delightful Dahlias bloom spring all around.
Eastern Redbuds warm cold winter emotion and
Fresh Freesia compliments each spring notion.
Gardenias touch...

Tragic Wisdom
Dreamer
In my boyhood I waded shoal creeks;
Veins of living waters swirling past my
Ankles; returning home, grinding stones.
I asked: How are rain drops like millstones?
I watched a stream of black ants scaling a tree
Through the...

Water Roams Its Destination Everywhere
Water’s destination is everywhere
ever flowing, rolling, tripping skipping
water never stops its touring.
A source of life forever enduring
challenges of leaps across endless
terrain, rocks and stones it hones
to a silk finish, a natural polish
that leaves no blemish.

The Unappreciated Woman
Just take a good look at me;
My frame is attractive!
It does the unsated
appetite of the chauvinist
fuel.
My curves and your fantasies
are mutually inclusive!
Without them, dreams
are truncated.
But I am an orgasmic
symbol.
The self opinionated chauvinist
designs me in his...

Girl In the Barbed Wire Dress
Striking twofold, lightning bolts
from the blue chasm of adversity;
when in dead aftermath
ghostly buzzing in her ears,
echoed screams without end into her head,
sparked the bitterest deluge of tears.
Weeping, head in hands,...
