Alaska; the wilderness state, the last frontier:
Where majestic mountains,
Deliver streams into flowing rivers:
Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’
Meaning the ‘mainland’ or...

As Cole rode across the Dakota prairie,
sweating a bit under the suns harsh bite,
he saw ahead of him a slight woman’s form,
she walked bare-footed, naked, and pale white.

Sunburns had reddened her shoulders and neck,
and her...

erected in the Age of Man
are starting to cave in
Their sky towers scraping the blue stratosphere
has begun to crumple
under the oppressive weight of floating spore fear

It’s fungi clear as a glowing...

Our prison is strong,
And made stronger still,
By men who work to break the hour,
And till,
One reaps, and the other sows their will-

Here the abyss harvests,
All of passions power-
To build each brick, cell, prison, tower,
Keeping each...

eldest son of an adulterous drunk
abandoned
man of the house at five

Visions Of Ancient Gem Stones

Original in a complex textured bed of ugly scattered rocks
A reddish garnet, more on the line of purplish red
Pretending to be ruby or ruby like
Lifted up in Pyramid form before prospectors...

Wind whipped his face, the dogs, they ran
Across bleak-white ice and snow,
Paid in cash by Rand McCorchoran
To Dawson, he would go.
Delivering mail, medicine, and booze
To a town still on the grow,
Earning tips from richer folk
Prospectors...

As the Indians rule began to recede.
After many a battle, they lost their land,
Giving into the white man's power and greed.

Heeded...

Silently waiting amidst the full moon's sink'd smile,
Farfetch’d upon the grazing winds of steeping mountains,
Seemingly dead eyes, tear’d and wash’d and wash’d,
Flow of glaciers and broken crevasse - a sacred fig, lost?
No. yellow clouds; damn’d...

I cast the new day and age
At the want of my prospectors
Forming my write and will
To what I alone wish it to be
Molding itself yet by the love of another
Hold me in Eternity's iris, I'll...

twinkling their song of love
in your eyes were the brightest

a kiss ,when night meets the day

Its 2009 in this modern world
But out there, their is a past
That's never unfurled
Hidden away in forests of green
Indigenous people rarely seen
 
Content in their continent
For thousands of years
Their neighbours, their only fears
Then along came...

Seasonal flows are flowing
in sequence to a seasonal

A satellite hoovers like
a distant cloud
in an atmosphere which is neither

microbial species within the salty brines of
Jezero's Crater

Winding roads


The table, light catches a singular drop of 
the blush on the carpet which doesn’t respond, 
no more than a road would do to a street light.

Asphalt is grey at night, not black, full...

for each day, as we grow old…
we search for little bits of happiness…
our own little nuggets of gold.

And just like prospectors…we never...

Rode off into the Australian outback
Not experienced with the torrential rains

New prospectors feel only heat's...

America
Princess of providence
Daughter of Divine
Wrought in fury
Wrest from rift
Framed for freedom

Paradise of prospectors:
pioneers and patriots, 
profiteers and pimps

O spring of freedom,
may you never run dry
O river of prosperity,
may your tide never ebb 

You, who seek...
