A lament of Love? and Loss
In the silence, I hear your voice,
A whispered reminder, of my foolish choice.
I was blind to your needs, and deaf to your pain,
And now I'm left...

I'm torn in poetry ~ 
like a fractured syllable 
scattered across 
altars of glistening gold, 
mirroring the maskless faces 
of those, who once 
sold their sanctity for sins. 
Perhaps, there's a
cursed moonlight, 
to which I'll...

Imagine they find your bones
in a boggy field -
it happens all the time,
speaking of which,

time is your pocket handkerchief,
your wristwatch,
and your best evening pants
all reduced to insect dust.

Only a fragment
(a rust-addled skimpy second hand)
remains to...

 From the moment we met
he'd treated me like a princess
I was young and naive
flattered by his attention,
misinterpreting it as a forever love
 
Mum took an instant dislike to him
She said he was like a...

When you placed your hands on the littles ones thigh,
When they saw your shadow in stead of theirs,
When they glanced up at you, adoration and want radiating from their eyes,

There goes your rotten mind misinterpreting...

Blow me away such a vision of day
I can't get you out of my mind.
I live on the edge, just to live on the edge,
and find that you're not by my side.
Good thing I left...

Oh, that I were perfect
Full of endless love and compassion
Empathetically embracing charity
Giving selflessly from the depths of my soul.
Loving and forgiving painlessly, wisely
Enduring all manner of evil without hatred
Without complaint
Without anger 
Always…
Forever forsaking faults
Free of...

Rhythms of pulses echo in souls, augmenting tenor of love song,
Reminiscing in sanctuary of life, together they shared for long;
Yet, memories sadly clamor aloud, since the day she’s been gone,
Of nightmares that cruelly shattered, dreams...

When accidental 
auroras stroll along 
the pale highlights of
camouflaging corpses
and death blossoms
in vulturous hearts of 
dreadful puppets, 
she always holds
pixie dusts of 
strawberry seeds within 
october's obsidian quartz. 

Gaze beyond those
glass-stitched horizons, 
as she cracks...

computing darkness,authentic brain;
you are so experimental in sadness:
you find new ways to make yourself sad,
you lecture without notes.
we are creative students stranded
in a boring hall,boring teachers,
only the subject interests us
yet we end up learning only

They crawl in a line 
along the esplanade 
between beachfront mansions
and the bay's indifference, 
windows down, elbows out,
hands tapping on doors in time
to the doof doof base
pulverizing air and eardrums
inside their metal sanctums
of pure testosterone.

Throbbing...

Over recent months I’ve had trouble with my hearing…
Misinterpreting what is being said isn’t so endearing


Take a step back and think of all the things you would miss if you couldn’t hear at all

The list...

Thunderbolts split the stormy air.
The campaign for president heats up.
Insults and curses, accusations and lies,
Hate and confusion, poisoned barbs
Aimed at and finding a mark,
Only to be retipped and redirected
Toward the original sender.
Racism, carefully disguised
As safety...

I'm oblivious to the chatter
cascading from
unknown streams
Soon enough themes evaporate
like steam
& are gone with the
wind like hot air from tea pots
Misguided missiles aimed harm
those within earshot 
but I hear not nor care to listen
to rumors...

As we go through life, are we not to gain wisdom?
Learning to do or to say the appropriate thing?
I thought by now that it would not be a problem.
But I made a mistake, and I...

I once saw a Highland stag.
It was magnificent.
We looked at each other for some time.
I felt no love for it,
it also was free of such bonds.
Eventually it moved away
disappearing behind a ridge,
strange, but then I...
