"Smooth Big Cat"



He was one of those guys you just knew would be a dud. "Be nice", she said to herself.

She met him on the upswing from the abyss of a dismally closed final chapter....

Our body is only a cloak,
seek the one who has dressed you,
heed not the dress.
Rumi

My form dresses our shared purpose,
I seek this SuperEco who has formed our cooperative
and synergetic vocational meaning,
not my ego's magically imagined...

I woke up today and gave my life a reflection 
The problem, the sorrows
The failure that follows 
Each day feeling my hopes are empty 
Feeling ashamed and guilty 
When I see my results crumpled and...

Hashish smoke trails her 
along a dusky corridor
Aka the hall of fires
where mirage chimeras unleash
Encumbered with hands splayed
her crystal ball lumens 
wires ghostly apparitions
mnemonic attachments
What mystery ensues
a phantasmagoria 
of horror nudging 
the demonic
Sitters drenched 
in...

Fridged temperatures bite at exposed skin,
Icy cold winds pull and tug on coats, looking for a way in.

Silence deafens the ear as nothing...

where isolation is the word of the day &

stepping outside...

The Titanic the luxury steamship

Fabulously built and true legend

On her maiden joyous voyage

Crossing the North Atlantic ocean

From the port of Southampton, England

to the new world and New York city

Fate suddenly struck with drama

At the dawn...

CPR

Not again call the code
Again in life saving mode
Grab the patient from the dark abode
This is a burden and heavy load

My heart is hard and callous
Working for years in the medicine palace
No criticizing you’ve your...

No doubt an Eskimo as fabulous breeze
feeling in their element with style, elan

   this spate of bitter cold doth not seem to...

Raindrops upon the asphalt
Stain my camera lens as it stares at the moon
I lack a jacket and the wind is strong
Would it be cool if I was ice all along?

Reading the twist of the story
Before...

One of my year-long sophomore subjects will be physics. At first, physics seems to be a menagerie of big, boring universal ideas and immutable laws rendered practically unimportant by their scale. 

Peter, ok, let’s call...

The first time my mother watched Titanic, she cried. Though, who could blame her when Jack would condemn himself to hypothermia and my father couldn't even call her once a month. 
The first time I...

There was a man from Donbas

There was a man from Donbas,
   who sat on a headless ass.
"Hey! You're going the wrong way!" he did say,
   "and your breath smells of foul...

Aroma lingers
within the encasing bastion,
aisle upon aisle haunts the ancient catacomb
that is home to the decisive many.

User friendly ecstasy
depending on Fahrenheit fifty two,
this golden age to cherish?
Hypothermia guaranteed, with anything less.

Inward the soul is searched,
waves...

I remember…
The long rocky finger I lived on that stretched
out from the mainland in the Bay of Fundy and
the soggy little white house covered in ocean brine 
that did its best to shelter us from...

| Oceans - Of Thought |

Harmonised hypothermia sets 
through the darkened depth 
of the chasm deep,
Like a heavy-weighted wreck 
of my linguistic mind.
As blithe planulae float 
amongst the turquoise torrents 
of the surging tides.
Efflux my...

Whoever finds themselves alone,
To make their bed a slab of stone,
Goes there but for the grace of I
To contemplate the reason why.

Who knows the journey each have led?
The horrors which they may have fled.
Financial ruin...

SOMNAMBULIST

She stood before me in the mist,
That beautiful somnambulist.
Eyes open, yet I doubt she saw me,
In the mist she stood before me.

She was dressed in night attire,
Designed to set men’s hearts afire
And I was suitably...

I've got a bad case of the winter time blues
Somewhere amongst the bitter cold I've lost my muse
Brrr Jack Frost is nipping at my nose
I long to roam barefooted and regain feeling in my toes

and cook food I have scavenged to kill any harmful bacteria,
or boil...
