The Forgotten Voices
The date
July Twenty Eight
The year, 1914
The War which we feared
It began, something we could not foresee
This date, still haunters me
To this very day
Those bewailing screams
And those traumatic scenes
Words to do not to justify
The...

The Evil Eye
The darkness, now descending, floods the city as it dies
while shadows lurk in legions 'neath the looming Evil Eye.
Its frozen stare envelops all, it penetrates and pries,
denouncing loathed dissenters to the keepers in the sky....

Put Them Out of Sight Now
Lay down your old ink pen...
Rise from the table...
Push back your chair.
Gather them all up...
Put them out of sight now...
Place them safely in the cupboard
Bare.
Wrapped in stiff brown paper,
Strung tightly together
With thin white string;
Turn...

Autumn At Sunset
At twilight’s ease of dusk the autumn leaves do flutter in the
Evening breeze, trickling downwards across inspirations canvas,
Creating a multicolored cascade at sunset, a leafy rainbow clasping
From the tree tops heights, than blowing wildly astray...

Doppelganger
Coming home late from wandering in my sleep
In search of that which goes ahead of chase
i saw the image of my form stretched on my bed
His looks – minus my glasses – through an impish...

Dead Spiders Weave
“It’s a terrible love
And I’m walking with spiders…
It’s a terrible love and I’m walking in
Its quiet company…”-Birdy
Three long claws enclosed around a lone beating heart
Stone talons gripping in happy malice, silently angry by its...

My Neighbourhood
The road to my backyard is long and straight
Evergreen trees abound and provide welcome shade
Home to myriad birds, butterflies and the bees
Last summer their branches were sawn off, without notice
The orgy with power-saws lasted barely...

Grand Mal Seizure
big Yawn Productions presents
the daytime drama Living Therapeutically
as others live randomly or habitually
you'll need a supply of 3-D glasses
and I know just the guy

Our Claymores Desire
Whispers we'd heard for many a year
But we were so far north they never came near
Then the day came for us Highlander men
It wasn't just where, just a matter of when
Down from the Glens came...

Flashes From Eternity
I see them as the fleeting meteors,
entering our world, and just for us
against contrasting skies so we may know
of their desire not to intrude
but gift us with their greeting
and their love--to show us
that we all...

Hollywood Buy Life
The orchestra of bombs
musical heroes tip toe through the corpses
blood and mud the choir
to sing their praises
between battle flags and guns
Cenotaph the list of tickets
chisel the shrapnel scars of so heroic
wear the skeletons of our...

Full Spectrum Dominance
We shall rule. the land, sea and air,
rule with the rod of self love,
the patriotism of recalcitrant glory,
the righteousness of the just and holy,
the heart and soul of neo-con ideology.
We will build the straw men...

I Cannot Stand the Guns
All night the guns
Like barking dogs would not go to sleep
All night the mothers heart
Roamed weeping the sinister streets
And still the air explodes
Like fourth of July
Or even Christmas
When the heart is silent most of all
The...

Snake:A Creature So Amazing
One sunny afternoon, I coiled
in the grass, and later wriggled
my way through the woods,
though scaly and limbless I am,
yet uniquely created and
outstanding among beasts.
My charming rhythmic
movement caught the attention
of the hunter, who though struck
by awe,...

The Five Word Challenge - the First Daughter of Eve
My Father,
See the little serpents slither
Among the Wolfsbane, the Foxglove and the Daffodil
My mother distains the creatures,
And fears the beauty of my garden
Though I see splendor in their movement
They dance carefully in the night,
The...

Dramatic Monologue
Independency
I remain motivated to subsist my presence amidst no regrets,
Nevertheless, this implies my shadow that ages hence begets,
I appreciate it obeys me amidst enough dynamic passion,
Ergo, this remains irrelevant unspecified acts of digression,
Because this implies...

In Life We Roam
We find ourselves cowering from their RPG's
Grown fighting men being brought to their knees
Kandahar is where we are so many miles from our homes
Trying to keep focused but inside we steadily roam
Incessantly we hear the...

Respect Life
Hearing distant cries,
Hope you hear my demise
The deceased fight a battle, recognize
Armageddon heven began to rise,
Evil had no disguise,
Man idolize the warning of the wise
About the valley of the beast,
Where the red moon set east
And...

The Sea-Shore
You were always too beautiful
To stand still
You seek out waves of the free
I wonder how it feels
To swim among present life
Whilst their contented bodies rest limbless upon me
You see their lives unfurl
As they grip...

A Wile and Away
Now, I won’t say I love you no more
-not like I could with a straight face before
I’ve already reached your rotten core
To those spaces no one cares to explore
Benefits far too lost to reap

December Is Lost
Without you next to me as I sleep, it’s like carbon monoxide in my lungs. I awake rotten and malnourished. Experiencing life as a ghost, everything is gray. Everything in ashes. Frail to the touch....
