A Parallel Earth
It was the weekend, and I was sleeping late that day,
Alone with the morning, while savoring marvels of May.
As I drowsed luxuriantly, at the outskirts of dreams,
I heard a strange sound, while soaking in gay...

If you don’t kill elephants for ivory,
If you don’t kill the whales for soap,
You’ll be a man if you can stop time
If you...

Ledger of Love: PART I
Ledger of Love
In the dim-lit chambers of the Victorian home,
Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome.
Once, love’s flame burned bright within her breast,
But now a thin whisp, a ghostly jest.
Her gaze averts from her...

The Watcher
Into the woods we ventured, where darkness began to encircle us,
Their ancient murmurs mingling with the forest’s ominous chorus.
A chilling breeze, as if the very breath of the woods sighed,
Veiled in tempestuous clouds, the stars...

A Lone Man’s Plight
Beneath the churning skies and wrathful sea,
A lone man wails into swirling agony.
Each crashing wave, a relentless assault,
Mirroring the chaos of his inner tumult.
Beneath tempestuous heavens, alone he fights,
His vessel, both refuge and dungeon,...

Hell No I Don'T Wanna Go To Hell
This sinner here --Michelle--
learned at St. Peter Chanel
there's no point to rebel
Life without God is Hell
Not just a state of mind
also an afterlife confined
to weep, & teeth-grind
all happiness -- behind
It would NOT be fun--

Baby's a Star - So Sublime
(Verse One)
My baby's a star, you know
She swims in a sea of suns
Giggles at my balmy puns

Dramatic Monologue
Romany Gypsy
With flashing eyes she did enthral
as to the beat of drums she danced
a wild flamingo with clacking castanets
her wide hooped skirt was all a-swirl
Golden earrings sparkling and flashing
heels looking impossibly high as she twirls
her eyes...

Before hearing of the murder of my dreams

Fearing the Storm
Is rain on the way since the sky is gray?
Thunder roars, so yes, it's headed this way.
If lightning bolts spark the sky, will you fear?
That's my reaction when it strikes too near.
I see the hovering...

Empress of the Night
Empress of the Night
Veiled in the moon’s ethereal grace,
She emerges from her shadowed place.
A crown of black roses adorns her brow,
Each thorn a reminder of the pain she must avow.
In the moonlit meadow’s misty embrace,
In...

The Soothing Breeze
Grieving is inevitable,
It rends your heart
It washes away your hurt
It fills you with sorrow
For all those missed opportunities
To tell someone you love them,
To hold the hand of a loved one,
To share a drink...
