Premium Member A New Mythology
There is a new mythology emerging, 
Howling from the hind end of the pack, 
Scorching the composted leavings 
Of established orthodoxy as a pillar of flame 
Showing the way for true rock & rollers. 
It’s...

The Chalice of Courage Pt1
On a mountain top,
In a distant land,
Lived a fierce dragon
With talons sharper
Than the great butcher’s knife
And a breath 
Hotter than a million suns.

His sole purpose for being
Was to protect a chalice.

This chalice was no ordinary...

Worthy of Thought
some sought remedy
it was less likely that these approaches
would yield fact: after all in
the broader realm of it's being
it paled in comparison to what
it wished and wanted to be.
But as one who likes action, and...

Hurricane Sandy
Sandy stole my words. 
Desolation and despair 
triumphed
attempts at descriptive 
narrative 
paled in comparison
to the cold, desolate reality left 
behind.  

Humvees and police cars patrol 
debris clogged streets. 
Red and blue emergency lights 
strafe empty lots where homes

tail aglow, streaking across the darkened sky,
bearing an energy that lit up all I could ever want to see.

Everything He Created
Everything He Created by Kenny Davis

 

She is not only everything I want,

But she's everything I'm not

She's everything missing and lacking from me

Everything I could ever possibly need

 

The hold God had over my life

In his blessing, I...

The Temple of the Jinn
Resting in the Persian hills,
is a mosque built under enchantment.
The gold visible between its pillars,
beckons the wayfarer’s advancement.

There was none who could stand against its sorcery;
Not a sultan, nor Saracen.
Against the cunning of the smoke...

Funeral For a Friend
The day is sad and cold.
The white pine at the forest's clearing
	pours sap, like tears
From the many meaningless gashes
	of the hatchet's blade.
A rogue shoelace dangles from a high branch.
These things are acquired
	from the busy-ness of...

Eternal Love
If I could choose a moment,
To be my eternity,
It would be that one,
Sitting above the Bow River,
On that high Banff perch,
Above the Rocky Mountains.

And your head on my shoulder,
A gentle weight, a whisper of trust,
Underneath...

She is wearing fuchsia, he told me.
It was easy to see her now.
No wonder he was smitten.

She had a confidence that uplifted the garden.
The other flowers paled in comparison.
I am shy, he told me. I...
