Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 37
I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly
They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes
It was Death I could perceive, defending me,
And he, a strange, distant friend
Seemed...

8 Little Egypts
Something strange
and unexplainable comes this way,
this way, it comes to us sly and fast,
some say, perhaps,
it has already arrived,
it walks unseen, in the midst of all, of us
we go about our...

My Ebbing Physical Prowess and Strength
My ebbing physical prowess and strength
noticeably decreases in one direction.
I take lock, stock and barrel
to revisit good ole days of yore
quite conscious undeclared state of war
prevails within body electric of troubadour
now seated at his...

All Is Well At the Pond
Twilight, the frolicking hour of the nocturnal animals.
A curtain of gray melancholy slowly shuts out the sun.
There are two gentle remembering streaks across the sky,
Then all is dark. The master artist knew what He...

When is a house, not a house
but a home, a place to call your own
a box to fill with treasures

The Now Continuum
Beneath the surface of the perceptive mortal senses
the mind nestles the buds of dreams it desires to see bloom.
Allured by avid aspirations into insipid ignorance,
it suffers wandering in...

And Winter Fades
As Winter fades to Spring
And the joy of the season inspires
Hearts to sing and birds to bring
Rekindling of heart hopes, dreams
Feelings of praise that fall gentle
Against the bursting pods
The green that begins to wash
Away the...

There is a man with a gun.
His finger taut,
tensed and still,
the intention obvious,
no reason instilled.
Because guns kill people.
Or do people kill people?
I can never remember.
Let's take a look at entropy.
A molecule hits a molecule
hits a...

The Magicians Birthday
In a far away land
Was a castle prison
In the left back tower they were held captive
The Fool
The High Priest
The Magician
Hours to days
Days to night and months to years
They all looked out the tower windows
The magic...

Deviant Delirium
I can’t tell you how it all started,
That night when manic moon
Probed and punctured the pall.
I awoke hurtling through space,
Somewhere between ideation and shellshock,
Somewhere between vertigo and inchoate phrases.
I remember redundant circularity,
Premises tumbled into...

Soar along with the floating flock

Incarnate
In me, now is an insatiable thirst,
I know well that I have lost my track.
I have gone astray from my God, all goodness incarnate.
Searching Him, lonely and longingly I stray,
To place Him not in...

I'm not overly fond of receiving a family's annual gushing story,
In the form of a Christmas Letter stating that all is hunky-dory.

And I'll...

A Pain Everyone Can Enjoy
Thine mind falters ‘cross thee blades.
Smokeless heat unsheathed today,
Languishes and bleeds.
Passionate Seeds soaked in time
Breathe in convulsions in….
You blindly smile and close your eyes.
In shock you’ve become mine....

Saving Liberty
We find Liberty has left us as we left our guard,
allowing hate and dishonesty to prosper unbarred.
We tempted fate, then saw cruelty's depth
as we watched a man die while pleading for breath.
Strong words either left...

That was Home
The slum that birthed me,
Is where love and loss huddle close, side by side,
Shanty houses crowded, wall to wall,
Yet love’s essence bloomed, unyielding and clear,
Tin roofs, mud walls, unpaved streets, filth embellished in disarray,
In that...

Myths and Hypothesis
Myths and hypothesis evolve through time.
From the Garden of Eden and before …
Until the undetermined end, men indulge themselves.
Speculation upon speculation, ideas arise and fall.
Hoarding the past *like shards on a battlefield.
**Dreaming, deliberating, debating ideas…seeking...

Wish Somebody Would'Ve Told Me
In the desolate desert of my forlorn life,
I wander across the desiccating dunes you make.
Enticed by your impulsive mindscape,
I saunter in the sandstorm of the dismal time.
My longing languishes to lie
in the sensuous shade...

Missing You
I have no quarrel with my four walls
We get along just fine
When it rains or when busy night falls
I see in it some design
A sort of second skin, an exoskeleton
Secreted by my culture
Upon my form....

Winter Slumber
On the wings of winter afloat abandoned in northern wind,
the wilted leaves of longing waft away rustling recluse,
my frosted nest clings captive to the skeletal tree,
I count in heartbeat the footsteps of frozen twilight hour.
