The Plague
as the PROPHETS of profits, WE lead and WE’re fair
while WE’re living the life of the poor BILLIONAIRE

Misanthropic Melodies
Misanthropic melodies played from a broken violin
Prehistoric prophecies that ignite new ideas before they begin
Telescopic telomeres that formulate a scientific grin
Endoscopic X-rays and a doctor drunk on gin
Valiant human beings with virtue among the discord
Salient...

The nights dispel wonders and awe
The days unfold stupendous enigma

A crusade for equality
A crusade for stability
Enmesh with peace and honesty.
Angels are watching over you...

Of the Quandaries and Mystics In Divine Shamanism

Dispel cruelty as fate opens for our unorthodox legion

Destroy notions preconceived, let the celebration begin
The mind is confused...

If exaltation and majesty
Require a bit of provocation and amnesty today
Humor:
As remedy and coagulation
From the bleeding of
Pain, stress and anger

To reach out from solitary
Disconnectedness and remind
Ourselves that human beings...

A Liaison With a Young Biker Minster
I didn’t know what I would feel about Doug Gay,
But I looked for a motorbike outside the church,
To reinforce his black biker jacket and sociology,
Which superseded church goers and that bunch.

A Monastery
The clad ivy charms, warms the walls,
The frontage that welcomes the fold and their outsiders,
Specifying age and strength of delicate beauty,
Which accounts for that non-existent love:
History sides with them, is by their shoes,...

Together.
She cries,
there in the car next to me,
moved so by how big the world is,
how unimaginable others’ trials and tribulations are,
how disconnected we all are.
She remembers where she was;

Whisper of Conscience
Whisper of Conscience
Because of the canticle of everlasting love
Like a sunlit lyric sung upon a path
Life’s essence sheds freckles of pacing anxiety
That echo through catacombs of consternation
In a whisper of untranslated dots of braille.

Look, No Stone
Since there was no stone to close Jesus’ death tomb
According to modern Christian myth, it had vanished,
But as of the Gospel version of this story, boom,
In Luke 24:2 the stone was rolled away - astonished?

Canyon
roaming the mountains
and the desert floor
sun high over head
i've been here before
seeking the answers
to the quandaries that plague me
no solutions forth coming
my resolve diminishing
and i shout in the canyon
the question "WHY"
and the echo that returns

Fork In the Road
Life can be more than one track,
but none will allow you to go back,
but they help you to learn,

so if you want to lighten the load,

The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe God
Belief defies logic.
Faith leaps beyond belief or reason.
We cherish beliefs because they are indeed irrational.
You can't prove a negative in an open system without boundaries.
Absence of evidence doesn't provide evidence of absence or non-existence.
Even the...

When I witnessed an odd migration
At midday, in early October
A dying leaf held me in it's spell
Tumbling passed limbs and bark,
Twisting and turning...

Dynamic Chorus
Ubiquitous sun
consuming through icy shadows
amidst winter chorus
Delphic paean on elysian winds
lustral chorales in
amber chronicles
Slowly sung, it's a lullaby of dreams
with moonlight charms
lulling you to sleep
I need to remember this night
the light we ignite within
shedding our...

Quiet Sky
for Tabitha
The sun wanders westward
towards the old frontier,
dragging its heft across plateaus
of New Mexico. Along Route
66, a quick toe-dip in Tahoe sets
Reno aglow. Quicker than that,
Nevada bucks, bankrupt and...
