never indulges daring dreams,
never succeeds,...

The Lady of the Lake Part Ii
Through raven’s eye, viewed I my fate, blood scribed upon the ground,
whilst shadows of the darkwood’s dead, stood solemnly around.
Accusing faces staring down, from purgatory’s stay,
those wraith dead eyes, that froze the soul, will haunt...

my heart nigh crushed by this world's cares,
I stumbled, blinded by hot tears,
through bitter valleys, dark with fear,
my tortured mind the while was wrung
by memories of this I'd done.
or said, or...

My Friend's Wedding
Saturday is native to weddings and ceremonies
Of anxieties – patterned in coarse sputum of rain.
My friend Bonsy and his wife filled the calendar
With the uselessness of time, levelled against waste
As indicated by the clocks of...

Avalanche and Aurora
God, are you sending Earth an electron avalanche?
Was supplying sun’s particles part of Creation’s goal?
Is insulation why we have such a cold snowy North Pole?
Is there a light cycle, scientists’ least explored branch?
The suns’ fiery...

Heavy
My terror grows with each passing night,
As slow, steady darkness steals away sight.
Footsteps and whispers add to my fright —
Is there an end to such desperate plight?
How long, too long, till dawn’s early light!
I clutch...

Our memories devise tricks to flush away pain.
But I walk here in the alleys of remorse
During the darkening final days of the year.
I seek to atone for...

Yesterday's Musing
Some things come to you
when you are alone
with your thoughts
and the sun is setting through your window.
Like now.
I am with my thoughts
of yesterday.

Little Things
These stories and their strategies
tend to remain untold
little bit by little bit
they change our world
Gathering their momentum
bit by bit become
too dangerously headlong
and inch by inch
become encroaching
sneaking up behind you
when we all are sleeping
Little by...

As Midnight Bells Pealed
In the vortex of a maelstrom, I was rudely thrown
drowning in turbulent waters for an error I bemoan,
a blunder of loving someone who chose to whittle
away at my heart until it became fragile and brittle

Water 2 Wine
miracles sometimes seem like magic...teardrops and tick tocks...breaking triple locks
innocence and iniquity get blood bought
time is tragic...cool breeze in the casket...reserrected and risen...freed from soul prisons
deaf and blind given sound and sight
tyranny gets thirsty...evil exposed...

She found herself falling, calling, screaming for help,

Where ever she turned, souls were experiencing invasive destruction,
Her name was written...
