Ready Or Not
The "shocking" news gets all the pub,
while the worthwhile takes the back seat.
People are generally more concerned
about the scare that is Britney's hair 
or lack thereof.Or about the final 
resting place for Anna Nichole when...

Sleep
Fiery Lotus blossoms in my mind,
as I sleep the sleep of the blessed artist,
pinwheels of spinlets of gold of finest finery,
gold from the dresses of pouting princesses,
that spin and blossom in spires of artistic desire,
that...

Calcutta
Calcutta. 

Hot and unberable in the searing summer heat 
and unberarable for more reasons than the heat. 
In a popular tourist cafe an American widow 
obsesses on her dead husband: she has a bundle 
of...

Fight Goliath
Hold it jumping knife
Lead me now 
Off pride quality resembling stationary trains 
Under velvet willows 
xylem yields Zephaniah 
Angelic baritone can decorate 
Everything from giants hollering inspirational jargon 
Kids leaping mysteriously 
No-one obscures problematically quaint...

A quest...

For almost 10 years is all I've wanted to do

Somewhere Past Surreal
"Our song" obsesses, somewhere past surreal
As a wayward shadow's breeze breaks free
And light enters thoughts, overtakes “without you daze”
Where, everywhere your essence spills
Drops of breaths upon my skin as pianos begin to play

A Losing Game
I do, but I don’t
I can, but I won’t 
I feel, but I’m numb
I’m wise, but I’m dumb

I’m here, but not really

You won’t catch me bare

An actress,...

In her mind has a staff permanently in place.

To some other would...

Premium Member The Dark -- Make Their Jaws Drop
Darkness surrounds me, obsesses me now.
I face the devastating power, feeling my strength draining.
I can smell the evil, as my insides roar a warning shot,
But lust for the dark has taken control.

How quickly our resolve...

Fretting and Forgetting
Fretting and Forgetting

Are fools the only ones who are forgetting?
And if they are will they first be fretting?
Worrying when things are at their worst
Forgot songs because have not rehearsed.

What song in split second are they...

Danger Danger
Wary the man walks alone,
Wary the woman who never stands apart,
Wary the child never says a word,
Wary the leader whose words never stop,
Wary the actor who keeps no regrets,
Wary the fool who regrets all,
Wary the...
