Ghosts of the Sun Dance-Part 2

8. Transformation

Yielding to those who have mastered the art
Of grasping one's place in existence's grand scheme
Life’s constant challenges never depart
But humble diligence will grow the dream

In passing from childhood to adulthood
Innocence to responsibility
Firm new role...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 20

It was a bitter morning, the ground hotter upon my flesh
I kneeled at the center of the pit on the twentieth day,
Remembering a tune sung so long ago,
A great song grieving for the incessant wars...

Children's Fable

Are you sitting comfortably, children?
Because it's a long tale.....
Then I shall begin.

Arthur was a Mason, which in case you hadn't known
is a man who sands and chisels, making shapes from out of stone.
From animals to...

An Emerald, Most Rare

It was glorious ...

A glorious, glowing morn ...
crimson crept up the sky, as if air-brushed ...
little round globs of fair-weather clouds tiptoed on the reach,
(so as to not wake the moon, laying down its head...

My fears begins to double

The last petal - the last grace

As the Autumn falls
The jays sing
A melody -a tale the old wives would sing 
While the sun fills the sky dripping
With gold as honey to the brim
I catch sight from my window 
Vines and creepyard...

The Magical Green Forest

I was walking on a green field when a cyclone came and picked me up,
He wrapped me in dark whirlwind, so I screamed that no one could ever stop;
When he was annoyed, he dropped me...

~ This Is My Son ~

"Immanuel, behold how He loved them...."

The world became silent, and time for a moment stood still
Orbs of all creation, suddenly, peering into the distance
Frozen and afar, not knowing why, something deep inside....
The perching birds stopped...

She wanted to trap Zeus the God and keep him for her own

Lost Love Deliria - Part 3

 Part 3

9th Delerium: Emptyness
Water wheels in wastelands... turning,
drowning relics in the slum
Rumpled rags of fashioned burlap... burning,
lit by bandits blind and dumb
Pastured prisons, ponies bridled ... yearning,
forest fairies under thumb
Sounds inside of cauldrons coughing......

To Tan a Ripper Hyde

As the receding 
nestles of dying
love 
in full bloom,
now 
sadly blown away.

The seasons of 
the massacreing 
tides of Autumn,
the soothing winds
of change,
now gently at bay.

As love's decree
of passion 
resides at chamber,
felt within the door.

To conjure...

19 Hues of Blue

In these a-dying days,
people are given mo’ grief news
Hope cost less than
a jug bottle of dirt cheap booze

While the crying game
is being played
over and over,  time again hence

Death has a new name:
Covid-19
is the ICU...

Tree

Flowers climb the branches
exhibit their full blossom
flowers visit drawing rooms 
They visit temples 
and then they vanish.
defying fixed shapes
rivers hasten to no destination.
carrying countless goals
roads get lost in a maze. 

Unceasingly
I stand
holding the selfsame earth.

Many...

Hope is insane

Last night I had the bestest dream
Nice secret to keep
Do you know how it feels like being in love with someone who's crazy?
Driving you to feel all the time hazy?

So I close my eyes on...

The Haunted House

The Haunted House

Driving with my date at midnight, looking at the August moonlight, 
lonely road, no one in eyesight, searching for a place to park.
Off the road a mansion ‘pearing, in the woods, back in...

Summer Hills With Daffodils Bloom

I planted the Daffodils in the hills, 
You were thrilled as daffodil flowers bloom, 
Amonst the sunny summer fields, 
Our room filled with perfume of golden yellow, 
With view of dew crystals cover the meadows....

I Hate Politicians

The day fell at its prey since man’s first fall,
To feed poison the dragon hath lifted its head,
Men have fallen into lucrative chasm,
Many ‘succeeded’ perching on the dragon’s head,
A few ‘defeated’ chewed ‘twixt the beast’s...

At the time of the incident, I lived in an old mansion,

Merto's Flight

Enthusiasm sustained while anticipation intrigues 
To capture a glimpse of a Cooper’s hawk
Hours pass by, keeping patience as a virtue 
I span the sky and tree tops each step of my walk.

Panting Frowns of Young Hallow

Young hallow, how long will you let this one?
The brewing of Dizzying Falls,
The perching of your quiet screams.
The Aching, Panting Frowns that steams stiffness from your heart.
The Patching pains doesn’t seem gone.
The echoes from the...

A Fly Through Reality

The other day I was lighting a candle, 
When a raven peeked my casements, 
My envious eyes were buring flame, 
Human mouth had to reciprocate. 

I wish I had your wings for once, 
To fly...

Relationship

A ship, a ship; calling me home.
I’ve searched for years, destined to roam. 
The waves rocked her, yet she remained strong. 
A steady heart for sure, tending the wrong. 
Through battles and fights, through heartbreak...
