Heart
"Heart"
Deep fissures formed
in the cracks of
the nowhere place
where time leeched
bleeding claret
through the green
veined blues
protean bit by bit
the flesh disappears
prematurely 6ft under
mulch for rebirth
the subcontinent
conscientious conscience
inward reaching
the divine central tableau...

Shangri-La
So I wrote again. This took longer than it should have. Only fair to warn you, this is a long one.

The village gates stood, like old men stand
Worn with age and bent by time
Rust had...

Abandoned Rhymes: Crumpled Pages
I heard taunting echoes and scurrilous snarls.
It was my conscience, and I listened as it spoke
in accusations, contemptible remarks aimed at me.
Shameful words delivered to break my fallen spirit.
In mocking voice of Shakespeare's Hamlet, I...

Dreams Part 1
Transformer-changeling,
liquid currency of purchasing.
Themes
Selling us your wares as we wade in your maelstrom pool.
Accentuating my cares.
Dreams.
Weave for me-from your electric spool.
Your hourglass adbdomain spin(e)-dling, fondling, sifting, and gonduling me to my destination azul.

Gold Fever
Gold Fever
History will not record the bloated weight
Of this pious and bigoted race
Or count the fat and flaccid wealth
Of religions idolatry
Those pages have been scrubbed clean
By prosperous forgivingness
And the cruelty of established...

Wanting What You Cannot Have
You are the dusk that masquerades as first light.
In the stillness of descending twilight,
your spellbinder's expectorant
opens the passageways of the feeble,
weevles like...

With Newsome You Lose Some
....When she gets bored of Mr. Slick
and wants to have real fun.
You win some you lose some Newssome.
You abuse some,
misuse funds,
talk about appropriations,
self donations,
inappropriate grooming...

Götterdämmerung Part 2
This is the second half, read part one before this
...This life was unlike others, not ripe, not light
We curs't them, 'stood not their mutual blight
There was a strange ambience, a UV map
of Pyrrhic love, a...

Me, Myself, and I
It’s hard to describe the grief I’ve encountered/
I’m 18, lived a thousand lives and pain’s devoured/
My soul and stripped away my serenity/
They say, “Everything happens for a reason”/
Was it meant to be, my season to...

We met again after a long hiatus
No one can guess a storm happed us
Finally we found the tomfool
I lost the game thinking I'm playing cool
You look so different
As if nothing ever happened
New air...

O' How I Hated That Damn Ground

utterly broken at fifteen years
Thinking of all that dad gave
now newly laid in a lonely grave
O' how I hated that damn ground
screaming but with...

You Can Run Now
Freedom.
Oh you can run now, I'm setting you free
So for once in your life, accept gratefully
Ignore every time I proclaimed in the past
My arms open wide will, again, be the last
I said that before I...

He Reimagines
He records the works of his life, the ephemera
he once scrawled onto the tissue thin,
thinking them indelible blueprints.
Most were fables told to a dying legend,
Pastimes, that were chariot wheels
for his little red wagon.
He is an...

The Garden of Death
There grew in a garden,
White flowers pale as death,
That grew in rows like tombstones,
Their odor; foul like dragons breath.
Flowers bent and brittle,
Stems with many a thorn,
No sweet fragrance, just a stench,
Their existence was one...

I Owe You Mother
Your lips start to move
and I hear the sound of your worries,
numbered like the children of Abraham,
boundless, like the sands in Egypt,
all of them, calling audibly.
the wrinkles beneath your eyes wrinkle me,
unwelcomed lines tracing the...

In Best Interest
We met from a mutual friend.
We quickly adhered as if we were in quantum entanglement.
Laughs shared, cries heard.
I fell in love with you, due to my ignorance.
I Cried, and cried for weeks, while your spirit...

The Poet
Her mind accumulates oddments and curios,
contrivances with strange linkages,
attachments that bolt unlikely parts together;
the mechanics of metaphysics.
Pieces of something she is sculpting or
assembling, or just waiting for,
a glimpse of a word-picture
too intricate to be entirely...

Witch At Pike's Peak
Once upon a Pike’s Peak dreary,
This witch said her name was Carrie,
Fog so thick couldn’t see nary,
Though her screech was a bit scary!
Suddenly the thick fog lifted,
What I saw was nary gifted,
She stared as on...

The Fight
The Fight
Determination to remove your force
of despondency.
That osmosis of my joy being leeched
through your membrane of anxiety
to a cavern of what if’s and if only’s
preventing the next step, the positive thought
due to the never- ending...

Dreaming of sugar spun so high
I could barely touch the sky when
a bird came and sat on my shoulder
she said she was messenger of the
gods of this realm and we (the humans)
of course had forgotten...

Spider on Vase
Poor teetering thing that leeched the rim
To poise and watch the world from summit
It hiked the slope and scaled with ease
Its several legs had gained momentum
Triumphant conqueror of the peak
The hero now surveys...

Ode To My Phoenix
For days, for nights
you moaned in pain.
For weeks, for months
you cried in vain.
For days, for nights
you wept in silence.
For weeks, for months
you anguished with prudence.
For days, for nights
I leeched on your strength.
For weeks, for months
I...
