Premium Member When I Stopped Dancing
When I stopped Dancing

when the screeching screaming voice, 
cut into my small, happy, care-free body 
like a sharp knife cuts into warm butter, 
the accusing words freezing my bones,...

Bedtime stories
now walk through fog
The Unicorn skips 
on lines of sticky Asphalt

The mother seen as absent
becomes deus ex machina
she will be the only one

Alan as Buckminster
delivers Fuller Watts.

Left-Brain partisans of deductive "prickles"
and Right-Brain bipartisans of inductive "goo"
have reduced mutually antagonistic arguments
into something resembling a pile of boorish poo.

Prickly Reds are tough-minded,
rigorous competitors,
precise calculators of economic wealth priorities
for anthro-theistic...

Of drugs and doctors quips
His mind was filled with flapping sails
Of white that guide the ships
To dance among the white capped rocks
In North white nights of June

This day is hot and bright and  fills my weary eyes,
and while sleep is gone it lies in wait.
The years have gone and the weeds have come. 
The dandelions are hard hot yellow in...

thunder and lightning signal their arrival drops form rivers as it trickles
The force of its power tries to shape us carves our prickles

New Sores Become Old Sores and Grow To Mature Into Scars

I saw blue memoirs fell from momma's eyes, as she looked into my brown retinas. Swiftly she removed my medicated glasses, a dominant gene I carved out from papa's bottled eyes. "Oh!  sorry D!,"...

O Great Spirit of the Vision Quest
Puts me now through this test
Awaken thee in midst of night
Scared at first half a fright

A Vision seen ever so clear
Then a whisper heard upon the ear
Shivers and prickles...

At the Beyond
AT THE BEYOND 

It is here at the point
Where no life exists
Where shadows lurk
Life is made
While Creation does nothing
But watch itself in
A hole that never ends

Ether dances and joke at
The beginnings of dust 
As we...

Entered a less travelled path leading to the woods 
Where the scene gleamed with refreshing verdure
Here Nature lay in calm repose, deaf to all hustle n’ scuffle

Premium Member A Letter On the Desktop
My parent left me their home when they passed, in much needed-repair.
I restored the attic into an office, hugging bookcases against the walls.
Aging darken ember, creaking wood floor that had been left bare.

Colour Favourites
RED-
Pillar boxes that stand open-mouthed
Waiting to be fed.
And plump ripe strawberries,
Dipped in sugar,
Smothered in cream.
Or just popped in your mouth
And squashed between your teeth

YELLOW-
Buttercups that shine under your chin
To give away your secrets.
And hot corn...

In the shimmering heat waves under midsummer blazing sun,
for he doesn’t know the meaning of the abundance of waters 
the overflowing river,
quenched his thirst with boiling sand
while looking at the sky to find a tomorrow

My face feels prickles in the frigid air
My lungs tighten and each breath it strained
Goosebumps arise on my neck and through my clothing
I shiver slightly yet hold my...

I panicked as you touched and I touched as you laid.
I knew no longer I would be afraid. 

Blushing and sweeping my feet wrapped with yours, hushing and weeping out 
of love, as we closed...

the devil walked in the room
first thoughts are to exit calmly
a round of sounds complete his entrance artfully
chimes, alarms, a decadent trumpet plays the senses curiously
mysterious it would be to refuse a grave impulse as...

Empty Being
Empty being


I only exist inside a hole of depression.
There is no light here, so there is no will or feelings to mention.
I am not getting enough sun to make me smile.
Love is invisible; I have...

Anywho
