Silence

I’ve dreamt often that she crept deep
Into my cellular structure, 
Some time in the nightfall of my being
And planted deeply into my mitochondrion,
A magical silence pill,
Drowning the kittens of...

My contingency measure in case of…götterdämmerung

A scenario unfolds
more abominable among
any previous warring factions,
his wicked weltanschauung
charred effigies futilely hung
against regime of brutality
considerably more unbearable
than infestation of fruit flies brung
about courtesy evil monster sprung
shortchanging restless and young.

Seconds...

It’s Friday night and a group of us, the ‘university summer fellows’ (Quinn, Jammie, Monique, Lisa and I) are going groovin’. Quinn, a Harvard man (we’ve shed our jaundiced opinions of him), assured us he...

Out of the twilight of my reverie,
and just beyond the door of consciousness,
never sinister, it still cannot
accommodate the good.
Forever nameless, tugging at me
for a singular because it can.

Though searching suns and endless skies
will radiate upon...

A Travel To The Millisecond

One day while reaching within the millisecond squared
With innocent intent to take me there to study
An unplanned trip, a travel, unfolded
I followed the paths of past and future all at once
While...

It was a teacup of pleasure,
our brief encounter,
just a flight to Brazil.
We talked, we laughed, ate, and had a nap.
Then, we experienced a series of air pockets.

I felt...

Dear Lord, I Need

Dear Lord, I need your loving power
from microsecond to the hour.
You provide my life’s foundation,
the gift of pure salvation.

Dear Lord, I need your wise provision
for all small and large decisions
in accordance with...

This weak flaw you see in
The length of my cheeks,
Just helps me to remember the 
Traumatic adventure that came to pass for me,
The occurrence that left
just a single man standing,
The disaster that was

Time in Cancerville

        This time has no resemblance to real time.

(dons the Sigourney Weaver mask)
Houston, we have a problem
She's breaking up! I can't hold altitude!
Stop opening the pod bay doors, Hal.
I can’t
It decided our fate in a microsecond...
We’re not going to make it, are we?
That’s...

FREEDOM

I fly through the mountain valley chasing my own shadow 
at five hundred miles an hour, on a knife edge 
turn I fly around a rock outcrop, g-force crushing me down.
A feeling of being alive...

A contortionist achieves climax
Her clitoris saluting her lips
From within an envelope of pleasure
Causing local beatitude
Though one may query such enthusiasm
Her clitoris cooing mollifying concert
Waltzing against the hips of autumn temptation
That she was vibrant
Or that she...

A murder of crows flys overhead
dotting the  cloudy sky
flying in the same direction
and I wonder why

such are the mysteries of nature
with her intense images, sounds
smells and feel
one is never alone truly
that she does reveal
