Making Tea
It's styles of a nameless brand pristine day

Encountering myself at a passionate spring
oozing its life gliding o'er its rocky...

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...

The Haunted House
Beyond an overgrowth of weeds, I see
a house with faded paint. It beckons me.
Victorian, its windows are like eyes
that hypnotize, and soon I find myself

Plastic Natured Bubbleworlds...
This morass of a quagmire beleagured unfaithful
bestowment of gifts so easily annulled,
confined spaces of opinionated biased
blown out of proportion like bubbles of miasma...

Mighty Mississippi, half savior, half sewer,

Venting prairie deluge, dividing a Nation,
Exposed aquifer of...

If the wind could just strike its wand
and bring my wishes for you, day by day
through its wings, through its force
through its strength, through its sounds
to part your hair slightly
to hush your teary cheeks
to flutter...

Fairest of Roses
In a quaint lovely little garden
Tended to by only a few keepers
Was a quiet cozy little corner
Perfect for nappy dreamy sleepers
There exists a fountain
That has long since stopped it’s flow
And now it is an...

By the stream where now only the ducks go
A dare to see past the old...

The Unkept Grave
At the edge of the old cemetery,
I found an unkept grave.
It was though the person interned there,
Had a soul no one could save.
Her tombstone contained two dates
That showed the term of her long...

The Road Taken
This was the road he took
Despite the light strewn of leaf
I can tell
The wind has not disturbed his footsteps a lot
He has left for us a trail of grief
And destiny hanging between earth and hell.

Among ancient arches, in the old Spanish style
Revealed are sad stories...these etched stones hide
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky!
The marble fountain would murmur here
Above the doorway, vines...

Paisley Swallows
That one lost their tongue
somewhere along the way
long ago, the sound,
doesn’t come out the same
anymore, so they roll it up
like a carpet containing
a nakedly dead body
of blunt words
like unplucked violins
untuned to how...

Not a Fire In My Heart

But warn you I should
It is not what you expect
But you will see
You will see
A thick door covered in locks
One key could unlock...

like i'm part of someone else's destiny

and a slit to the veins
evenly remorseless
evenly scathed
condescending overhead
has gone underway
if you could have...
