You once said to me,"I'm a man of extremes," and I understood immediately what you meant.  When you drank, you drank hard.  When you worked you expected perfection, in yourself not others, because...

A Statue Speaks

The morning takes it's first breath of daylight
Exhaling the sunrise that fills the sky with colored

The Killing Field”

Ariana nodded, tremolo fingers,
and they ran across the killing field,
watching the steel-toed kite ascend—
a fleeting instant of triumph in the vacuum.
Josh scoffed as it dipped,
both caught in the pull of the abyss,
falling but...

I've made myself a phantom, keeping critical things from you,
          (and perhaps, in truth, more), for the sake of others ... others who

Bottle of tears is my first version of this poetic legacy series
Skeleton of tears is which the venerated versatility carries.
This might be called as a sequel of alacrity or prolongation
But best before this is a...

pushing aside last night's clutter
from the late night burst of creative energy 
open the blinds and let the warm light stream in 
select the perfect playlist and crack your knuckles

Daddy's specter plectrums mercilessly
Fraying my nerves raw
with oxidized guitar strings.
my thoughts relentlessly hemorrhage
onto clay vinyl grooves
s p i n n i n g
endless nights
of
suffocation.

a midnight jazz wail
lacerates
the void of your absence.
notes gnaw through bone marrow
ravenous...

Space relevance 


Fuel fluidity in space is oxidized in oils through vortex hoses.
Tornadoes may be node of fluid oil formed through wormholes to other locations.
Our shattered and crushed mechanism disappears only a few kilometers away...

And I witness
Your deplorable “glory”
Hunching over my tattered spine,
So we can have something in common

You walk with glorified shell-shock,
Another sentient tongue, 
Straddling on the Eros of vindication

Your sandpaper hands
Reach for an assaulted tenderness
Embracing lambasted lyric

Another...

Sometimes the only solace to loneliness
is the fading photographs around me...
many pictures in black and white, some of them
are in albums, some on the wall - in ornate
frames, which I would never replace!
The oxidized metal carries the...

On a rainy day, I float like a spider in an earthen city, 
the glue of the body is my own land, 
who also can I blame? 

Insane to find the demonic catastrophe suppressed,
 folded...

A poet will write once,
a poet will write yet again
And all of the words written therein,
are the sum of the poet's pen

A poet writes about life,
a poet writes about death
And anything a poet writes about

It was simply an old rusty tractor
An eyesore for passers by
A graveyard, at the back, of a pasture
All covered with weeds and vines
Curiously, on slow approach, 
I wanted a closer look
Carefully climbed the barbed wire...

In the canvas of twilightish insanity
Appear pomegranate designs of passion
An intellectual dance of day flowing into night

In the sea inside skull, the heartbeats of humanity
Vibrating with   rurality towards urbanity 
Get oxidized in the...

bluesy blurbs

Feel the feathers of photons flying across the bluest of skies,
Whose sapphire fires ignite the horizon with hydrogen oxidized. 

Its refracted scatter of cerulean molecules melts which matter was solid,
Into a gaseous glass whose diaphanous...

Obsession

Obsession with "O's"

Oh, obsession’s obfuscating oligarchy
Oceans of oblivion
Outrage in ostentatious obsession
Overrun in hurricanes named obdurate and obstinate
Overtures of oxidized compulsive orchestration in
Obbligatos overflowing obituaries -
Overbearing octaves of the obsequious –
Orations of overt objections
Objectivity overpopulated by...

Shipwreck
Sure fingers grip 
Quivering lips caressed by mist
Subversion in an inverse universe 
Obtuse life married to a hopeful mantra
Division of these harsh seas I seek
Of this boat captain I am 
Water erodes nothing but the...

appears a Roman goddess
halo affects adorn as spears on a diadem
Her torch enlightens the world
flames are gilded in 24K gold
reflecting the sun's rays, looming She is not

Luminous miscellaneous adorn my crown,
Frills and strawberries,
Thorny circlet dusted with a light layer of twinkle, 
As my eyes hysteric with confusion 
muse on this loss. 

I gather the lumps of loaf 
crossing the border of...

travelling to my never was,
my yearly time in the yard
spring time back to cold Ohio
gripped in nonsense and melancholy
I travel to old town
misted by the cuyahoga
surprised yet not I find
they tore down the tottered house
