Galactic Strings or Void of Space?

A poem’s akin to a necklace, one fashioned
of water-worn pebbles (from rarest of realms),
stone cold truths tumble-polished, love’s chord weaves together.
Do fossilized beads left behind in Life’s wake
spark faint hint...

I could have cried like a bride at a funeral
Bled out, dry. I could have but I was already
dehydrated...I

i think of you

I wish someone could turn the 
moon back on, turn the dimmer back up

CHRYSALIS


Sitting in silent reverence 
I gaze upward towards your galaxy...
The endless canopy stretched out
Before all eyes...
An infinite splendor of 
Light, energy, portals, stars
Mysterious unknown spaces

Silent notes fill my soul
Playing my heartstrings
Reminding me of ancient memories...

Worst case scenario-

Well it's good to see someone woke up early and slathered on his hair, greeted the morning media in his aristocratic lair. Re-education within 140 characters. Staring through pinholes of the crumbling façade....

Why are there stars, Grandma?
     Well, darling. At night, God gets tired
     And before sitting to relax
     He turns on the show in...

THE SUNFLOWERS- With the morning sun on the rise, they slowly lift their heads and their petals of yellowish-gold spread smiling with the sun. 

THE HOUSE- As a passer-by, sitting atop a hill all trim...

So this is my house still standing where others have fallen:
There is still the light of love inside the room, 
Peering through pinholes, our professor, for twenty- four
Years called it peace,love and unity, a philosophy...

A eulogy on the car radio:
he was a good friend to all.

It begins to rain.

On the road an opossum family,
bodies strewn
according to size and age,
some pancaked, some
playing dead forever.

A lobster gave up its existence
for me,
was...

When she stepped up to hold my hand, pale faced,
something to tell me, I needed to know,
three words 'I love you' now had been replaced
with 'I am pregnant', plus a bump to show.
My mind and...

As I look up at the countless stars in the night sky,
I can’t help but wonder what’s really up there.
I think we’re a world within a world and that’s why
Light comes through, but from who...

I know a man
Who has trauma melted into his very soul
Eyes shine with the blackness of his soul
Dragon wings like hunchback
A weight too great to stand aright

I know a man
Who has spent his entire existence...

Paper spiders everywhere 
Crawling through pinholes in my brain
Cutting the corners of my mouth
Tartaric taste curls my tongue 
Forming words I would never say

An inferno of verbs 
Flying through gutted roots
It’s warm butter to a...

Eyes peering like stars in the night-
  Pinholes in onyx souls.
Infant eyes wild
  Like promises ricocheting off sanctuary walls.
    Searching with innocence,
      Wide with wonder.
Angry...

Eke out, O my living?
On what grounds do ye speak?
Based on our thanksgiving?
O turkey, through creek creak!

Wind atop the atoll low?
Steady, then first blow.
Ogre, ochre. Fast or slow?
Gold, give off thy glow...

Tyrant of the ocean...

The stars sure sparkle with all of their might
Intrigue dances inside of each worn heart
Pinholes bring glory by giving their light
Successful sight is brought with a new start

Enigma of the sky the stars bring pride

streaks of pale yellow
a hollow chuckle
what to do
what to say
tremolo hummingbird
sounds redundant
too many
too few
observing a picture painted

shards of green
porcelain fast cracking
into dust powder
underfoot altitude
compressed into silence
uncertain mystery
is safer than
what?

nothing is mysterious
judging the judgments
fearing the best...

I was driving down the parkway 
I went to take a ride 
The radio was blasting 
Had my woman by my side 

We were heading out to nowhere 
Because there was nowhere else to go...

Eyeballing you as a
     sticky bun; pondering how
to reach out without

Family photographs.
Pictures of youth, 
All smiling happily,
Hiding the truth …
Grandads at work,
Grandmas in rocking chairs.
Dads in their gardens,
Mums, taken unawares …

Pinholes in the fabric of time.

Aunties and uncles,
Siblings and cousins;
Some of them all alone,
Others by...

The city is full, dark, not alight...  
Mountains of man's creation loom,
The horizon is aglow.
Bleeding into midnight...
Stars glisten in the dome of heaven 
Pinholes to another reality. 
I lie watching,
The celestial fires of distant...

Sleepless in the grasp of night
The dream of day now gone from sight
Dark engulfs both sight and sound
The night world now alive abounds

A ray of light pierces the air
The moon reflects the suns harsh glare
And...

In a bit of a witty mood
Attitude becomes rude and crude
Flipping tables, tearing down stables 
Preparing for morning cartoons

Full bowl of cereal unreels my lethal cerebral. 
Toons blast till noon then on to serial killing...

One last Carolina Wren
jabs and hops
inside a shrinking ring of pale sunlight.

At the white door of a cold season
the wind dresses a scarecrow
with the spiny feathers
of the already dead.

Ice scabs pockmark a creaking earth.
A green...
