February came in keeping with its ancient character a month of coldness, wetness and of thawing,
With departing frost and melting snow, February could possibly be called the wet season,
Maybe it's a time for floods and...

The dust of time elevate upon my every touch to dust away
And writings revealing as promised are the words to say

‘He who listens will never be heard
He who sees will never be seen
A tongue utters...

The cause and the cure I cannot intervene, I can only remember
With them both to their passing, they in me now live on forever
A past never can be changed and their memories I have lived

The armies they are massing:
They line and ring every shore, every strand bristling with 
The deadliest of weapons;
The tocsin should be sounded, 
And every cannon is round at its bore.
Fires rage unchecked and unopposed throughout the 
Entire world,...

Historically accurate, narrative poem

27 November 1868, on the banks of the Washita River  

Dawn’s peaceful first light streaks the eastern skies, 
belying the horror of a marauding force of horses and men,
silently stealing over...

I live in Arrubluc by the sea
much like the fabled Llareggub
made famous by Dylan Thomas
in the radio play 'Under Milk Wood'.
The land meets the sea here as well,
but it's a beachside town, beside the sea,
not...

Still heat. The dust in the gutters 
is dry. A droning fly 
can be heard through the shutters. 

Ruined walls. Rubble. Sun-cracked plaster. 
Afternoon, and nothing stirs. 
Things should be moving faster. 

Some streets away,...

alone I made camp
in an old post-war lean-to
so close to the river
mist covers me like dew

next to my rough camp
I found rougher white stones
faded names, faded lives
graves hiding old bones

in the moon's creeping light
I now...

Humanity Hell bound
'Humanity!'  O, 'Yes humanity!'
You warned me about your insanity
somewhat louder than the Christianity
you warned me about the inhumanity
My wrong choices
My determined hard core voices

That evil hopelessness – our evil that’s in our...

PSALM of Lost Words***

,My soul weeps
As the words are lost —
Like the decaying leaves of autumn,
Laying heavy from the frequent
Spring rains and — 
	after months of winds blown —
Massing along fence bases, waiting 
To be...

Who the hell is Gordon Bennett
Some think there’s insanity
In the fact we call his name
As though it were profanity

Not so famous nowadays
As once he used to be
But still I call his name out
When a doorframe...

Bloodsport

Children of the darkness
Massing with the waxing swell of our mistress Luna
As the canines elongate prenatal sight sees it
An unsuspecting naked city 
Their feasting ground where many foolish herd beast

Hi you, yes you

Balance is the sixth sense.
Like a dreamer's dictionary,
The planter interprets the times and the seasons:
How to till the soil.
How to plant and how to reap.
How to repay the overdue debt

There are margins in the field
Which...

Peasants of the Playbook

You’re peasants of the playbook
Yet you think you know the reason
For the failure of the team
That does the best it can this season

And, massing in the mews
You’ve raised the mewl to a...

taking the podium &
patting the eyes whilst
whimpering,
the genuine feeling in the air,
which might naturally come from the
massing of individuals together,
gets sucked right out 
like a massive vacuum has come upon the
scene to do the bidding...

People gaze across the plains,
hoping and praying for the rains.
The ground is dry and cracked,
as for too long the rains have lacked.

The heads of cattle are lowing,
as daily their thirst is growing.
It’s been so long...

On the bright parkway comes the throbbing drums
The sound of the pan and sound of the horn
The great crowd alive like a beehive hums
And children gloating like goats in the corn
Float after float like birds...

Perpetual pain palliated by loving hands
ever lingering under bandaged wounds;
fetted rot tucked under perfumed blanket.
Covered is the massing doubt, ever growing,
Smothered; thoughts transient as dreams.
To hide quaking mask of broken memory.
Running. Inevitable is the spreading.
Infectious...

White celebration again,
With mothers and children
Juicing, fruiting campaign,
Tossing drinking Champaign,
Standing and sitting again
With singing and dancing domain
A thirtieth birthday bro!
No pain no gain again.

Lightening x-massing you see,
Prepared for months to be,
With touring and camping on...

It’s the gentleness of words passing
Joined hearts in tune, enjoyment massing
Keepers of a bond that’s heaven made
Love growing deeper in soul mates shade

Magic mirrors need not be given tokens
Nor flattering words forever be spoken
Oaths given...
