What’s left of Octavia glides down the hall 
Past the portraits she painted in life,
Now framed in mahogany, rosewood, and oak, 
And they’re hers for the haunting tonight.
She looks for the canvas she started the...

You said that you loved,

Though, I told you that you were lost,

Instead I was shoved.

You were in state of lust...

 

Where have all feelings gone?

Why has all innocence ceased?

Where has cherishment gone?

Why has all the...

That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped 
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life. 
When the fervent flight was friendly 
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless 
near and far like a...

Notice
in silent anticipations
softening distinctions
empower fluidity,
blending Language
Culture
Communication,
symbol recreating systems.

Consider
how apparent differences
between discrete word choices
may also nonverbally spread
across indiscrete relationships
dividing and regathering
LeftBrain verbally dominant
embodied Natural
severed from abstract Spiritual

RightHand Body dominating communion
over RightMind wisdom communication

Where "RightBrain" sensation
flows information
non-segregation
celebration
from...

A Shattered Peace 
(as a privileged white man searches his soul)

A shot rang out that gave a fright
and shattered peace in dark of night.
For just a while I gave a pause
then ventured out to seek...

Chilled from the midnight cold,
as I stroll wrapped in cavalier,
wondering if the world has something to spare,
But life once was...
a beautiful pasifier we all use,
can you imagine us all in Rome,
with wine and necktor,
making love...

The past few days have been okay, 
However, I anxiously await the day,
That the other shoe will inevitably drop.
That your love for me will eventually stop.

You tell me I am silly, yet I sometimes smother,
I...

I watched as she dropped down
 that full six-foot wingspan graced the air around
that slipped in quiet, somehow silenced in the cold gray steel
 and suddenly again, she was here, looking for another meal.

The great...

Secretly, I wish to be a norm;
A poster girl for Herbal Essences,
A model strong enough to walk
Down the catwalk.
Secretly, I hope my sister conquers all
And takes me away to where I canx
Actually sleep on cotton...

Drifting toward me soundlessly
Passing by unfortunately 
Stopped and speaking quiet sighs
Holding gaze from blue iced eyes
Tell me you thoughts…

Flirtatious spiced in sultry velvet
Freezing within doubt steeled moment
Hopeful yearning wonting back
Inhaling deep that silken attack
Tell me...

Hot, humid, burning sun rays
 it's the noon hour smack in the light of mid-day,

the random moments of a Monday deluge of renewal
 back to work to the tied-down, set-in-place routines do all
 pushing back...

Painting the music on a bow
The lure fashioned a form
The engine and a circuit
A pinning of a crucial phenomenon
A policy by allowance
A permission into wheat
Each probable wind opportunity for sketch
Probability be the ghost of a...

YESTERDAY TURNED INSIDE OUT BY DOUBT

there once was a past
a past that refused to last
nor would it fasten fast

there once was a yesterday
a yesterday that said yes to the merry month of May
yesterday

there once were...

It must be written on the wind,
  those ancient prophecies
  of time immemorial and its hymn,
repeating the rise and the fall
 of spring rain and summer dew
 floating in the fallen leaf hues;

If you look
  at the written books
you'll see
  the future clear as can be.
Dreamers, writers, visionaries of the past
  could reveal the present before it was cast.
Between the pages and the lines

A melody
 unlike any other message we bring
played on the depths of inner heartstrings
 riding on the bow of a soulful violin;
notes beating along tight drum skins
 rumbling in the trees upon the winds,
trembling lightly...

Streets are long,
here where the town shifts into
linear ranks of commercial blocks
out-pacing the moving cars.

This is America most everywhere.
All that can be seen from a car screen
lays its naked desires out
in the pale meat of...

Entice them like anancy to your school doors
Rob them of sap and culture
Throw them out like fungal spores
For what other syllabus, except the rupture
Of faith shall they learn
What shall they do when the dog catchers...

I'm so done 
          with 2021
it's a leftover of promises empty
           from 2020;
words indiscrete

We find solace in silent solitude. 
Times are hard, revenge is sweet.
We lay our sins about your feet,
for what is sin without platitude?

After all, our molt so indiscrete 
of one’s outer self to interlude
of decadent...
