The Formidable Gambit
"The Formidable Gambit"
Silence
calculated and distinct
conspiring with rules
plays within the
confined squares
of a strict and
ruthless mind
preying on all moves
untraceable
unpredictable
irretrievable

the long-legged fly
is caught in the web
silvery and slippery
life remains...

Puppy Dog Eyes
I worked at a boisterous animal shelter, which wasn't too far from my home,
That filled days with barks, meows and singing, like green wilderness zones.
I loved working with the various animals, and wished they could...

Puzzle Stomped
"Puzzle Stomped"
Pieces scattered
placed on a table
with boundaries
between
the incarcerated margins
there are strict conditions
Time drips
its wet connection
each piece a stair fitted
imperfectly
perfect
towards upwards
new mirror reflection
a cracked heart piercing
the tear with...

In the hidden realm of forsaken souls
In the hidden realm of forsaken souls,
Where echoes of long-forgotten hopes fade,
I wander among dreams seeking their eternal place,
Beneath stars that seem to gossip about their cold neighbors.
Their intangible silhouettes, like leaves shaken by the...

But happiness to me has never been shown

Can’t I also get a gift from above?
All I need is that...

The Bird That Is Loved and Loathed
It burns and it stings.
It hurts.
More than drowning beneath
the ice.
More than remaining in a
kindled flame
She hits and I no longer cry.
Why mother, why?
It burned and it stung.
The markings remained,
returned, and were...

Running With Wolves
The air is as crisp as the night is dark;

The scents astound me pungent as they hit my nose.
From the ground, the air, the trees they nimbly...

Fortress
“Fortress”
‘Love

than death
Belief

were crucified publicly
for free thoughts on how
it all really was … meant to...

Early on that morning

Trying to solve
A computer glitch
As I left the wretched machine
I rose and felt suddenly dizzy
And as the room spun
I chided myself
Saying this isn’t worth
Your having...

Nuclear freeze in her heart of alchemy’s shivers
Veiled shadows dancing to the echo of silence
Intemperance sounding choral confusion of fate
Rosemary scents a bunch of renegade petals...

Almost made Avalon
I preached to my flock, "you voted them in

The hills and the vales of Avalon."
