Return
A fine mist of rain falls silent
on his thin, sharp-angled face.
He picks up the pace and tilts
his head to the wind. He walks
through the plundered slumber
of crumbled poverty, abandoned,...

Dramatic Monologue
Lips Curl At Your Fiddles
(Piece is intended to be the most complex vocabulary gothic ever)
Grandiloquence,
mellifluous pulchritudinous,
gaiety of quintessential moistening serendipity,
bile deluge if you show the sanguinary breath,
crimson waterfall sizzling on lava rock hellscape.
Yclept necrophelia maestra,
macabre tableau,
dips douse abyssal incarnate,
now...

Chiaroscuro Choreography
A light mist of ethereous rain falls
silent on his thin, sharp-angled
face. He lengthens his stride and
leans toward the wind. He walks
through plundered poverty; crumbled
by the weight of exodus. Abandoned
to the blood-rough nails...

That Afternoon At Highgate Cemetery
That afternoon at Highgate
When my life had paused awhile,
Old graves and headstones greeted
With their sad and forlorn smile.
Smirched epitaphs stared at me
My call they wanted to know,
Though vowed in pensive silence
With the...

Along the Shady Paths of Vivid Green
And the cemetery was fresh and vivid green
when we took our bikes down the paths of it -
past stones and trees and mausoleums and grass as far as we could see,
carefree on that muggy...

Helen, Troyless

Helen, bright accompaniment,
accouterment of war as sure as all

In Marked Territory
Homeless I lived,
without even a marked territory
to claim as my own!
How I wished I had access
to a mattress to lay my weary body
or a ceiling under my head!
But I had no place to be in

Children of a Lesser God
Contagion ceremoniously weaves its harvest into a fabric of un-social inclusion
Haunted by lack of humility and lost serenity it serenades through the masses
In God We Trust but who listened to Nietzsche who proclaimed that she...

Road To Over
Unwrapping both a blessing and a curse, extracts
Love’s essence painting souls and framing them abstracts.
Too brazen into Jung’s collective we were when,
Our fists were punching holes up through the floors of Heaven.

In his demented demeanour reserves
The right to plan, design and manufacture weapons...

Temporarily relieves, loosens,

albeit bearing heavily straight

awk credited miniature oblate
spheroid, sans cranial
dome to help alleviate

whose penurious plight
seeks to make lightweight
oppressive burden clawing

Typical Night
Slowly the sun sets as day turns to night.
Cellars, castles, and caves, places that cause much fright.
These are the areas, I call them my home,
secluded deeply within mausoleums and tombs.
Once I awake from a sleep...

Bone Seed
Small rolling hills, valley plots,
nothing regimented,
graves not scattered, but placed
among natural features.
It’s beautiful here
especially in the Fall.
The Maples are tall and burning bright.
There are new graves among the old.
I thank all of them
for being here...

A Poem During a Modern Plague
Every morning upon rising
Routinely searching my vital signs
As a poverty stricken person
Searches pockets for spare change.
The grim news reports,
The skyrocketing death tolls,
Mausoleums more populated
Than the emptied churches,
Many desperately seeking God
From the confines of their dwellings.
I...

The Mausoleum of Seculars Dreams
Crooked teeth upon rotting smiles....
Bearing their canines for the throne to behold
The petrified flesh of these fruits they share
Decomposing souls, which might have once been
Had they ever learned? Had they ever known?
Caught within these crowds...

Some of us have secrets - William Tell
"Some of us have secrets – William Tell."
Some of us have secrets.
Well, we all have secrets, William Tell.
We sweep them under the carpet,
or trade, for better things.
Some things we exchange,...

When Dusk Draws Nigh
Silence morphs the call of falling dusk
Gathering under fiery skies,
Stilled leaves in somber silence hang
Moping at the darkness that plies.
Dusty paths the home-bound cattle plod
Syrupy chirping of birds in flight,
Smoke from the earthen...

Anywhere But Here
Serpents slither here. Scorpions hide beneath our bed spreads.
Spiders, bugs, sticks, ants, and centipedes occupy our beds.
We have coasts. But what use of these? They burn with sultry heat.
Pirates sail to our harbours with their...

Solar Roots

The Dead of Night
With its silvery veil the moon's pallid sheen
Spectrally cloaks and invests all the homes
Transformed into midnight mausoleums
While those who sleep within can never be seen
As cold as the tomb
As miserable as a...

They Dream of Dayton
Downtown Dayton cityscape
can be seen clearly (on a clear day)
from the grassy knoll on top
of the Woodlands cemetery.
Most of the more fancy mausoleums
face any other way though,
as if the successfully dead
had prospered and were now
