the stories I have calculated
to deliver a saving grace

you somewhat sometimes seem,
less than me, you...

Ah... methinks I could sleep forever

Basking in a supine position
with eyes wide shut
while the space heater churns out
fast moving molecules of heat
solitudinarian drowsy thinker fêted
by miniature fantasy 
of tropical island paradise
accompanying and populating slumber
courtesy flickering,...

the gatherers of their love apocalypse
with garlands grown and sown
from the rose fire of Athena's throne,
on this day they come to mourn
the Poet who perished for the passion of...

Lima describe how yours truly went Peru zing...

thru truckloads of his personal communiqués broadcast
(methinks quite some years ago) across world wide web,
but now still smarting from selfishness, I feel quite aghast.

all the stuff going on that motel was heating up but the locksmith didn't speak
Irish too well & besides he got drunk & robbed the wrong merry-go-round anyway...

Cowards die many times before their deaths…
Julius Caesar, Act II, Scene 2 ~William Shakespeare

My humble apology to those,
who posted uber up lyft ting messages
to this Macbook Pro Facebook keeper,
without said scrivener swiftly
tailoring timely acknowledgement
from one harried styled leaper,

thus feel free to...

behind of a supposed strong & mature “adult”
who advertises to others their ability to
“discipline” their child,
lies a great fear stirring,
which comes out in the actions taken to make
that little child submit to their will
from early...

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently

Blaming the white men
Is the idea, the insane ideas
That many of you have in your eyes
In your head and in your brain.

You’re scared of the truth
You’re playing the ugly lute
The sad refrain that you ought...

Time: the biggest landlord
At whose feet kings and queens bow
Cockiness and stubborn they can ill afford
When time wipes vanity and sagacity from their brow

In consonance with the mandate
Bestowed on time from on high
As no other...

His massive head was adorned with a wooly crown,
and his robes decorated with ermine of brown
What a majestic monarch roaming with regal grace.
He was mighty, but bearing a pusillanimous face.
The king ruled his domain and...

Trying to pass an elephant
Through a needle is crazy and irrational
That's a narrow path to nonsense
Trying to fake it or to faint
That you score when you drop the ball
Every time is highly deceptive
That's a spooky...

The stench of puerile self-aggrandizement wafts through the air, a noxious cloud of platitudes and pomp, as the pusillanimous pustules of pseudo-intellectualism congregate to lavish accolades upon one another. How... amusing. The notion that these...

Woven in a lava oven and driven into the pit of despondency
Where light at the end of a tunnel dims
Parents explode and implode as darkness swamps ascendancy

Loving you is easy
As you are the door – Ianua 
To spring
Ice clouds are held in the furnace:
Dirty grey pearls
Your other name is of course
Janus- you are the month of transition
Though I love you as...

In my despondence, He gave me a ray of hope,
In my sorrow, He gave me moral support.
In my sickness, He cared for me:
In my misery, He gave me strength to bear it.
In my helplessness, He...

Crimson river, tide so wide, mucilage aged in thee
Blessed be the one to pray against the raging sea
Pusillanimous feelings, no honor, resting in an ossified wind
Redemption begets the soil destined for sin

Back away, crush the...

On Halloween night



Walking down a silent unending deserted road,
When every little sound was igniting a spook,
Lacking moon and stars was the dark sky,
Pusillanimous hearts were heaving a deep sigh,

Reflections approaching, heart missed a beat,
Withholding of...

Has been established from the time of conception

Is this not what the world expects from this generation?

“Fan Dance”



golden winged creature
formed from flames
phoenix uncaged 
burning up 
the pusillanimous past
fans, the screaming jets

baby’s on fire 
hypnotizing all
the dancing serpents

Lion constellation 
moving into 
celestial Pegasus

Wesley Melvin Buchan, also known as Wesmechan,
 was a pusillanimous and a good-for-nothing,

classmates fear him no...
