The Difference In the Stories We Want To Tell
Ohh I could have sat with my heart
--elevated with dribbled echoes--
ahhhhhh until it yet exhaled the tarnished seams
capturing only the quiet current lapping
and soaking dirty steel embankment
along the river’s edge beneath the...

Throwing the Last Stone
the episode took place near the sewer
the boy lay lifeless on the stiff ground
his white clothes dipping in red
a rowdy mob encircled him
like vultures awaiting the surrender of a fighting spirit
his horrified eyes gave...

In the Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our Nation
What has become of us?
What has become of our Nation?
We are the land of free
Are we not?
There is always a cost
What is our payment?
Do we pay with the lives of the faultless?
Do we pay with...

Somewhere Between Fall and Falsehood
Her chin was resting between her knees
Her fingers were running smoothly through the sand
She didn’t notice my arrival
She just sat, staring out at the ocean
I could hear the drop of the hallowed cave
It echoed and...

Peitro is barely three years old
Eleonora, his great-grandmother, eighty-three
And yet, they are the closest of friends
Carrying on and laughing in the library but
Even the studious patrons don't stare in scold
Over in the children's section...

Shay Kin Daughter's Death Defying Automotive 360 Degree Spin
Alive, yet shaken to the
core of her lovely bones
youngest offspring unexpectedly
lost control of vehicle and groans
papa unable to comfort her,
she inconsolable sobbing tears
muffling thru telephones
safe and sound nonetheless
shook up like rolling stones.
Though dwelling bajillion miles...

Ooh Lord Give Me Time To Pen a Verse
Ooh Lord,
Lost between files, forgotten in daily schedules
slipping away in the daily humdrum of dear life
and quietly ebbing from my mind is a verse.
Of the warm embrace of the yellow...

Soulful Cries
I scream, at the top of my lungs
No sound, comes out
Silent, curdling screams
Is, all I have left, now
I wrestle; I fight, with all, my physical might
While, being forced down
By the mighty strength, of many...

From Noonlight to Moonlight
I'll chance to mention a jaunt once took, along a sloping ridge; coming up steady o'er jakes ravine, cross the creaking pinewood bridge, tethering up the hosses, to a half charred...

The Fall of the Winter King
The Fall of The Winter King
He had risen to power
fueled by a vicious and ruthless determination
to reclaim a lost throne.
His tactics had stunned the unsuspecting,
laid barren the fields,
blanketed the forest,
silenced the...

This Night I Cannot Sleep
What choice do I have? On this night I cannot sleep?
I lay alone in this cold bed,
Thinking heavily,
Crying silently.
I watch as the clock flashes 12:00
I should have been asleep two hours ago
Ah, sleep... laced...

The Beauty of the Night
Every moment of every day has its beauty…from the dawning of first light…
But today I’d like to concentrate on the beauty of the night.
Darkness has a subtle way of muffling all sound as it drifts...

It Was Peaceful
It was peaceful down there
Sitting on the bottom,
Water muffling what I hear.
A lovely day in autumn
To explore some water,
the task at hand.
To escape temps getting hotter
By treading lake instead...

Tenth Earl of Kildare
The teeth are dry.
It is Silken Thomas
muffling for promises
among the rats in his straw,
jostling for a hand,
once wielding but now
scratching the toes of power.
The tongue leather bitten,
studded...

How one wishes to relish in the things of the past
Because it is their voice one hears the most
Like ghosts whispering soft things
Your ears perceive them
The unpercievable.
Words are ghosts
Of the people who wrote them
How...

Melodies
I’ve been hearing melodies
You’re always chiming when you lie
And your muffling is on repeat
Repeat, repeat
And when you’re gone I feel redundant
Repeat, repeat.
Entrapping at night
Feeling right
And now you inveigling is on repeat
like the fortnightly purge
I'm dancing...

The mounting manifestation of your mistrust
Has been the source of the confusion that separates us
The asinine allegations that you hurl at me
Are only to deflect your own dishonesty
Your constant unfounded and unproven accusations

The Making of An Empire
Empires forged from the suffering of others reign supreme
Their sweat is the mortar between bricks holding the structure in place
Their minds brainwashed not to dare think about being more than what they are
Their bodies malnourished...

The Dull Nights Spent With Silence
Everything may appear
in perfect order as this vast universe is,
and behind it I can't hear
anything muffling sounds,
but spot faint shimmers of hidden worders!
Such are the dull nights spent with silence,
having nobody to whisper sensual...

Undulating Emotions
Undulating emotions
are encircling all around
Discomboblating and muffling
the impression of sounds
Retarding the stillness
of abiding on smooth ground
It's like:
What do?
I do?
Do I
Take a walk
worn down
unshining
strapping on
buckled high
heeled shoe
bling
Or do I
Sit with
drooping butt

Demon of the Night

In the darkness is where I love to dwell
Atrocities performed will send me to hell
A ladies perfume assaulting my senses
My mind visualizing the sensual caresses
She walks alone on a moonlit night
Unaware of the...
