“Forever”
When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,
she closed her eyes
and listened for the notes
her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the
labyrinthine trail
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,
she...

while WE’re living the life of the poor BILLIONAIRE

Turning To TurquoiseVerse 1: My destiny...
My dignity...
Is all gone since you left me with nothing to lose

That's around my neck

The Crow Bar
"The Crow Bar"
she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,
in neat rows between
the thick,
ink injected lines,
their soiled lives
ploughed and
turned over
replanted
sunnyside down
expunged and
wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,
they...

The Epic of the Great KingThere sits behind deep forests hidden,
A sight to behold, place of all sins ridden,
Where the great rivers give life and churn,
A thousand diamonds and the trees sing
Along with the wind, ruled by the great King.

Heart
"Heart"
Deep fissures formed
in the cracks of
the nowhere place
where time leeched
bleeding claret
through the green
veined blues
protean bit by bit
the flesh disappears
prematurely 6ft under
mulch for rebirth
the subcontinent
conscientious conscience
inward reaching
the divine central tableau...

"The Pages"
Missing all those years
like a page you could turn,
a book you could throw casually aside,
to be eternally forgotten in electric shady libraries;
at some point you turned around,
and remembered, what you long...

Small Mutinies
"Small Mutinies"
So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky
cashmere blankets
of insecure insincerity
simple scribbles
bleating from the
chirping crickets
and frog croaking
symphonies
muddying waters
cutting pristine lines...

Singing and Dancing In BalanceWhat I care about
and what I am working
and even playing hard with
is better understanding what and how
we and Earth
communicate to and with each other,
regenerating mindbody health sometimes,
and yet degenerating pathological climates and subclimates,
gestalts,
ecopolitical chemistry puzzles...

Paper Tigers
"Paper Tigers"
eyes mark slow time
spotting leopard rhyme
never changing its spots
black balled
white pops
the want-to-be bees
sting the dripping honey spot
slapping cards down
kitty pots are shuffled
bluffing intelligentsia
between the gaps
flatulent poets floss their teeth
waxing lyrical strings
tied to the weary...

The Proverbial Small TownAfter winning a sweepstakes, I determined to go on a lengthy trip;
And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.
The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charming towns,
Some with the...

A Matter Of Faith
When I was a child, I wondered
Was deep sleep, death?
Was every morning a new life, a new incarnation?
Waking up, I found the people around me were the same
I was the same too, nothing changed
This cannot...

A mouse doesn't ask for mercy from a cat. It can't meow the syllables.
Though its stomach is full, the cat,being unacqainted with mercy,
will toy with a mouse.

Fleur FluencyMy (bleeding) heart is filled to overflowing,

(A Contemporary Animist’s Prayer)

the deeper susurrations of this tellurian realm
with its numinous places that already call out
my name!

My Twilight Dream Catcher My twilight Dream Catcher.
Sweet melodies tug at my heart strings.
The waves roll in as the blue whale sings.
As empty moonbeams fade,
In the cosmos evenly laid.
Layers of complexity.
Clouds meandering are a formality.
A tonic of love, a...

To be on your tongue
And on your mind, swinging along
All alone, all along or maybe I'm the one in the wrong

Manipulations Of FateI wait—
here I wait

of leopard-print thoughts
sugar-granular-musings spill
the beginning to the end of a story
the potential the inevitable
