Odysseus and the Siren
"Odysseus and The Siren"
There he is
like Odysseus
bound to the mast of his ship
cursive words dispatched
through aether to
the somnolent nodding
in their stock
he avoids full brace
the Siren’s enchantment
a song that sings
his...

Tiny Window To the World
Tiny Window to the World
Marooned in the consuming gloom
Cut away from escape or from egress
Between me and the Wild World
Ly a tiny window
Through which I espy the world
By an open vista to teeming life
Sprawling...

The Lusitania (Part One)
More than twelve hundred souls
Meet their watery grave.
German U-boat patrols
Spark a fatal shockwave.
This echo of the past
Resounds throughout history.
Rousing war unsurpassed,
Deadly shroud of mystery.
The empire aids Cunard,
Loaning millions in pounds.
Lord Inverclyde toils hard
On deceptions unsound.
They...

Ballad
Waiting For the Bloodbath (1917)
There, at the parapet, part-built with corpses,
Where we dug out the two year old bones of the French,
Stands on the second rung of the ladder,
The corporal keeping watch from the lip of the trench.
His periscope...

Against merry christmas premature blowout,

Guilty As Charged
A heart of dark sentiments!
What did my dark periscope see?
A misogynistic judge presiding over a case;
An interesting case of
A woman who reneged midway on a pact.
I was but a witness lest you be curious
Why...

THE TRAIN OF DECLINE
A twilight full of bitterness,
A dull and gloomy existence,
A deadly routine on the highway to nothingness.
The dictatorship of time has bound my lamentations,
Condemned to follow the hands of my decline.
Face to face with my failures...

Those scientists, they have no clue

After After
With remnants of mankind’s existence corroding
His lighting extinguished, his concrete eroding
The birds and the beasts have reconquered his space
Those same birds and beasts have forgotten his face
The forests, once dwindled, have burgeoned once more

Flawless
Down in Florida on the twenty-ninth of May,
the Phillies had a pitcher named Roy Halladay.
There was a show in store for Phillies fans in town.
In each inning, three came up and three went down.

to then simply feed upon the flames
of its own bonfire
Those cursed lips

Where Are We Headed
Hello there, oh glowing one
Radiant in resplendent light

In as of course vibrationally
Nestled in a cocoon of bliss
Speckled by the elixir divine
Emitting soothing fragrance
Wafting across the inky void
Dwelling...

Shed a tear for every word he said.
Polished as the buttons on his...

Christmas Gift Ideas, Maybe?

When cleaning below the ship’s deck

Old poet word's never die
