Allegheny rail train has been rolling along since dawn.
I can hear the patchy sounds of the horn ushered by the wind.
Sounds at first are muffled but become distinct as the train gets closer.

Gulls hovering over...

When at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks
The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

The sun rises high over the tropical trees
White patchy clouds survey the blue sky,
Time drifts slowly into the clouded breeze
With the colors red, green and gold passing by.

Jamaica play a key role bringing out the...

There were images the grey man could not see 
Did not want to see, in all probability

Walking by the glass doors and windows of modern stores
No warmth of being within their cold crisp alloy frames
Where...

What is a life when you’re constrained,
your words bound up within your brain,
from fear of punishment without,
from tyrants or folks without doubt?
So all that matters can’t be said,
it makes the soul and spirit dead,
when men...

I kneel to pray beneath an oak tree’s leaves,
where my journey began.
Broken limbs straggle over a patchy lawn,
a neglected place full of holes, 
shoveled from childhood memories.

I bow at the altar of the tall oak.
Days...

See what!

Don’t let a let a lot of
skyjack noise 
		         cloud your IQ vision
Radar babies make sonar decisions
for the latest batch 
of tech toys

They be so double...

Verse 1-- Oh! Lord God I find myself..
I find myself again occurring at irregular intervals;
Finding myself repenting, over and over and over again;

In the steady arms of your...

ELFIN WAR

In the ancient land of Lonvar, only a day away
On the other side of the mountain, it was war
Reports of fighting and the use of a magic spell
The elves were being dispossessed by the...

On the open fields across the river
Where the land is parched sallow 
The patchy grass in cold quiver
When the freezing icy winds blow!!

The grassy fields have tales to tell,
Of heroes and the many dead,
Of blood,...

Mingle with mounts,wander arid desert sands
seep into seas,lie lone o'er unknown lands
replicate waves of myriad mirrors flowing below
stand on meadows high engulfing green bands
innocent smiling children, gaze in delighted awe
at tufts tickling kites with a...

Together we’ve travelled and come so far, 
Hand in hand, side by side, 
Catching all the tears we’ve each cried,
All the years that have passed,
Our...

Here they come the prancing drums and fife
That call the children from their village life
To run with glee and meet with fear horsehead,
Whooping bway or devil costumed in dread
And there pitchy patchy dancing for his...

I remember those days
Stifling heat
Scorching our hides
How we ached for relief
Shade of an Evergreen tree
Sparse of needles
Long-legged Snipes
Wilting in the afternoon sun
Just like us
Earth so dry
Even grass could hardly grow
Grasshoppers
Surrounding each and every step
The chirp...

Earth’s natural gemstones thunder down
Miriards of multi sized scattered diamonds tumbling
trained jewels, beads, roll down roof glazing
Tiny shards of light begin to bounce, dance and reflect magnificantly
At first twinkles of days sunlight peep from behind...

as it gathers outside in luscious mounds,
piling up against the door,"
I said so many years ago, when you were young and
sung to sleep with lullabyes, so soft and...

White Wings

Perceived upon a sunny day, a flutter by sailing the still 
Dancing a sequence with paper wings seeking to alight
And flit a nomadic path through warmth and perfect haze 
Fragile life that traverses the...

A patchy, cracked tiled floor
Receives my broken heaves and knees,
my swollen mouth, my red eyes
All buried deep in a bath towel
The floor receives a ceaseless flood
Of sorrow, of overwhelming regret
And it wrenches me and my...

Excuse me please pass the salt,
I am out of luck hit by a lightning bolt,
I am sitting here quiet around this desk,
Thinking about which escape route is best.
It's a blind...
