A Specter Speaks To War
Smoke rising from the ground
Obscures the pools of blood
Where soldiers uttering sounds
Lie dying in the mud.
Horses neighing, running scared
In horror find no end
Of battleground that's shared
The crimson life of men.
A bugle lies still tightly clenched
In...

The Dinosaur Ai, Part Ii
...And these A.I.s could reproduce themselves,
solving all the problems of production,
but they had been made weak, sort, an squishy,
so the dinos needn’t fear rebellion.
For thousands of years the dinosaurs used
their organic A.I. in many ways,
they...

I’m hungry
In a time where innocence should reign,
This little girl faced trials, her heart in pain.
Her upbringing, not necessarily the worst, I’d say,
But love and stability seemed far far away.
Naive to the world, she sought to...

Grim Embrace
In the depths of her soul, she's yearning for touch,
In a void of despair, where emotions are crushed.
Once her fortress, her solace, her knight,
Now distant, indifferent, cloaked in spite.
He was her lifeline, her warmth, her...

Why Bother
The clock chastises me,
as painted petals bloom brilliance
in illuminated wonder that attempts
escape from the hidden crevices
deep within my beleaguered mind.
The beauty I seek is but an allusive dream,
flowing rags...

Self-Destruction
Wishes hang, like icicles
Clinging to the steely gray
Branches where silence breathes
Promises, echoing through
The winds, hastening hope and
Anticipation, resting on the
Colors of joy, peace and grace
Blended together with faith
Crisp words form to create
Images and...

Glory Highway
He was young, fifteen I’m told,
When he left his father's farm.
His youthful mind was filled
With dreams of conquest.
His heart was set; his ears were closed
To his mother's tearful pleas.
He’d not return, he vowed,
Till glory crowned...

Her Soul
That gilded cage
with its…
heavy quilted,
ironclad armour
is Home
to her soul
She's been busy
racking up layers
while her soul burrows
deeper
and deeper
yielding to the cage's allure
as it whirls through
timeless wormholes
birthed by life's orbit
Her soul...

Father At a Loss To Express Care and Concern For Punim
Helplessness immobilizes yours truly,
I genuinely agitate
permanently lasting indelible impact deux
biological offspring unfairly bore brunt,
compliantly, complicity, and complimentary
I avidly, doggedly, instinctively helped create
subsequently, unintentionally, or willingly
unpleasantly affected as adults facilitate
learned behaviors to navigate
their respective independent lives

I sat gloomily looking out of the window, wondering why
wishing one of the stars tonight will glide and send you smiles
right here in my heart: a feeling that cannot deny

When doves on evenings, calm and still, call out a hollow tone,
They rouse a medley, old as time, so few have ever known.
The whispered lines of its refrains resound of yesterday,
In ancient tales and bygone...

Recognition
Life is the embodiment of the unique existence,
the construct of universal elements destiny decides
to manifest distinctively with the divine essence
in the unparallel trinity of body, mind and soul.
The self-obsessive free-will ever seemingly dormant,
envelopes the body-mind...
