I felt it – stirring, spontaneous repulsion,
the darkness
Recovering from the steel black holes
Eyes intent on raping the soul
Ravishing the vulnerable,
Violating the hope, the wonder.

He was younger than me, 
with teeth black from decay – black
Like...

From strange elixir of mind 
a form walks in forming strange lines, 
in a poem of a chant of a spell,

Bold as the lie that says –
Authenticity isn’t blessed by the truth,
Who exists in reasoning, thinking…
Outside the box, beyond the echo of light,
Despite the shadows and silhouettes of night…

Thinking, like the reflection of a heart...

Before I learned to really look and motives perceive.
But after years of hurting and living life bereaved,
I chose to find my private space…happiness achieve.

There are things I take to the Lord
Little things – sometimes more
Important things, like pain and sorrow
Whispers of insight, melancholy
Darkness and dread, joy’s caress
A longing, a hope, a dream of the best

There are memories, inklings,...

Wishes hang, like icicles
Clinging to the steely gray
Branches where silence breathes
Promises, echoing through
The winds, hastening hope and

Blended together with faith

Crisp words form to create
Images and...

The Big Bang Theory and others devised.
Professors armed with latest editions.
Soon, teach as facts; oh, faith of youth revised.
Inspired, common suppositions.

Unaware, youth accepts false traditions.
Half-truths and questions upon young minds flay....

Its wonderful inklings,
Blended with phantastic, gifted
In sighs, breathless – wishful
Reckless feelings, emotional, rich
Aromatic memories lingering
On the edge of sensitive, exciting
Mysterious like the haunting
Dream, echoing endlessly
Inside a sensation,
Moody melodies playing
Soft against the backdrop of...

A leader, a superior, a head,
The one who his brothers bowed

The destiny, vibrant in hues of blessings,
Rich with insight into the everlasting
Peace and promise,...

Pour out rhythms, releasing hungers,
Stirring hearts to breathe, restoring hopes,
Prayerful moments trembling,
Echoing, glistening shafts of heated praises,
Mysteries in shadows, embracing – erasing
Shades of inspiration, focusing on joys
Alive like the dancing...

As summer evolves,
With heat and despair,
The boy I once knew,
Gazes up in the air,
He's enamored by freedom,
The choices supplied,
By three months vacation,
And magic implied,
Some friends are around,
Some travel with kin,
While others do nothing,
Or indulge in...
