Long Impales Poems

my body racked with pain,
Nothing green in sight, 
my thirst, my plight, 
eyes playing tricks on me again. 

An illusion of rest beside...

Despair and Tears, As Silence Reigns

Sun burnt dark crystals sizzle this aching mind
where maple tree ooze their sticky flesh,

Begging sky cries from sun and its scorching flames

your every smile and wink

outliving demise of my...

Letter after letter
I imposed on your heart my will to love
Affection became sentences I still serve
Periodless
Upon the evening table of supper
And the morning counter of tea
Where loneliness impales me more
Each moment with you.

Letter after letter
You...

Lovers touch, a warm embrace,
   all shadows in the night.
They surrender to the moment,

Caught in the toils of passion,
   together side by side.
The moonbeams...

Strength dwells unmeasured,
A symphony's hibernation,
A clandestine god of the will.
Awakened out of silenced slumber to humanities deepest breath.
As the baton rises, commanding a crescendo for such a time as this...

I’ve recited this a trillion times 
now I utter one single word, 
but in code,

Not through amnesia or illness of any kind 
Moreover because I have become 
part demigod and part devil,

Nothing can be more...

Asking a question that silently impales.

Can I be your daughter, born a male,
With tender grace and love to unveil?
Beyond the boundaries...

Sigourney’s Perfection

A sequestered home
A wife, a husband
A doctor, the dinner guest
A gun. This the cast.

Doctor quotes a poet’s line.
Wife freezes in...

First a sigh begins the sequence 
Then pain impales my tender heart
My lips kissed with trembles quiver
And teardrops fall for worlds apart

Disenchanted by fallen expectations
A siege estrange's my view
Breached by every implication 
Want replaced substance...
