Out of the darkest reaches of time and space

Premium Member Columbian Uncivil Allegiances
It was a nasty war.

To call it an UnCivil War
is to avoid an obvious oxymoron
as embarrassing as Military Vitriolic Intelligence
through lack of Anger and Fear Management,
violently over-industrious absence of mutual civility.

We were too optimistic
about democracy's...

Carrying with me a
halfhearted smile for the

The men holding tightly

Suppose I whispered to 'em

Suppose I lent a hand.
Would they take it as an...

Breaking Away
  It’s not too late for me to turn back

And run the other direction

Like hell on wheels

I’ll still be swerving from side to side

 

A great fire that has been burning within me

Hostages Kidnapped: Casualties of War
Hostages kidnapped: casualties of war

After extorting pound of flesh
lifetime humiliation drummed into captives
hammering indelible nightmare
no amount of therapy can expunge.

Lifetime trauma inflicted perpetrators wage
dead bodies littered makeshift triage
death and destruction

I thought the layers of dust had settled
over what used to be the togetherness of 'us,'
and buried were our last tarnished traces.
But today, I found your pictures in an album
and my emotions started playing tricks...

Insiduous Evil
Woe betide humankind as it marches on technology.

We had the evil machinations of war,
Of death unleashed from mouths of guns,
And man-made thunder from above,
Laying waste to home and life and limb.

I've heard of evil spawned
From...

Humanity 

The pagan pilgrimage, sun-worshippers frequently make
Latter-day phenomenon, take off on a Bronze Age break
Constellations change position, solstices realign
Tropic of Capricorn peaks, Cancer starts its slow decline

Astrologers reassure us, the end is not bespoke
Astronomers can’t...

I find I can no longer stand

Thunderous hooves of imaginary wild horses,
panting in heavy breaths, kicking dust before soiled eyes,
claiming to take down fences

Where is our hope?
Waging wars with not sense of direction 
Burning down our own homes with no discretion
Fighting for peace with no results 
Anger building and no one wants to claim fault 
Tired of preaching...

I thought the dust had settled

If music be my insight

Facing a Mirror
I stood there in awe
at the sight I was seeing
Facing a mirror,
this horrified being
Staring at me
like a shadow in waiting
Desperate the look
of this moment debating
Tear coated cheeks
as emotions are calling
Fearing the ground,
deeper now slowly falling

A chill wind bites coyly at exposed necks,
not yet draped in tourniquets of wool.
A wrapping of white, buries ribbons of asphalt.
The ways fills with metallic horsepower.
Goblets of slush like spittle fall, splat,
upon once virginal snowfields.

From his strong fast horse he was determined to conquer
