As one gains the haunting night bird songs, in burgundy skies darkening.

My garden had many varieties of flowers, in countless appealing...

Humane destiny erupts with Alpha Yang 
and divinely reposes with Omega Yin,
a bookending closure pair

Waiting for each life system 
and love sequence
to complete this co-identity pilgrimage,
Yanging what and whom 
embodied incarnation,
Yinning why and how 
mindful...

Anger and kindness reach for richly polar opposition.
So, can I have any more perfect anger

but sleep is not death,
while kindness anxiously awaits
during times of quick...

Were it not a thing impermissible, 
I'd take handfuls of all these silly bits of 
Simulacra, and detritus, dross and debris:
The minutiae and impedimenta that are all these 
Constricting, confining rules and bylaws, codes and...

Beside a gilded wall of white a dainty bench is resting;
Victorian accents swirl about the ornate room, providing
An elegance, a beauty in each line and curve, attesting
To cultured tastes and upscale life, and hours spent...

The stars are jewels
Leading to your eyes.
A city of diamonds
On the glass of heaven
That smiles joyful
On the slumbering world

Upon the crystal sands
Where the lilac waves
Draws a sweet melody
Like your lulling voice
That intrudes...

Arrived is now Spring,
The scents of flowers 
scattered in the fields 
Awaken feelings of sleeping children.

Here, the breeze that goes 
Between flowering almonds.

There, weeping of poplars 
Are spreading like white snow.
Far away, along the path,
White...

I was strolling through Evergreen Cemetery the other day,
Glancing at epitaphs etched upon various stones along the way.
Some flowing verse was out of this world but I can only assume,
That the authors were forthcoming in...

Winter storms dropped a tiny snowflake on a towering mountain top.
'Tis bright and unique among the myriad of snowflakes that did drop.

As it begins its...

Rude awaakenings
passive resistances
offset reposes
nominal com-pre-poses
clattering synopsis
reflective rejections
loveless offerings 
sentient longings
goober finales
creepy filings
jubrient jiltings
assinine intentions 
cooperative unintentions
lazy notions
graded offerings
misguided annotations
guilded gonads
perserverant punishments
unabridged miscellaneous
assertive nothings
blinded essentials
ill acquaintances
riddled resentments
staved sequences
toiled romances
piss pot potentials
dragged molecules
finite measures
copious credentials
minor mirrors
killed desires

Its worth the joyful sigh
Those warm and sleeping waters
Those familiar notes that murmurs
Those sparkling dews that glimmers
Upon the morning leaves of spring
Where the pleasant song birds sing
Upon the blooming trees of May
Cold and silvered with...

Once upon a time I could change the oil and give the car a lube,
Tune the timing, change the plugs and patch an inner tube.
In days of yore I'd do simple jobs beneath the old...

Its ghostly, desolate shell reposes atop a craggy tor,
Overlooking the restless sea on England's venerable shore!
Though its walls have withstood the ravages of countless ages,
Its name and former majesty are lost in history's pages.

What gay...

You Were There…

You were there when the clouds came
And my world crashed down in heavy rain; 
There for me. Never left my side
When we walked the valley dark through rising tides.

You were there to hear...

I reckon you'll find this tale of romance less fact than fiction,
But please bear with me as I try to give it plausible depiction.
I was about half asleep, musin' on the patio the other day,
When...

I saw a buggy at the antique store today, its beauty unsurpassed!
I couldn't help but sit and muse awhile about its esoteric past.
It was shiny black with roll-up curtains to fend the stormy weather.
Its lone...

Danse Macabre is German for Dance of Death...


Transfixed by the movements, the musical vibrance,
We move to the tune of invisible sirens.
Reality reposes with the closing of eyelids,
Then lies change to truth and peace transforms violence.

I reckon some folks prefer a hound dog lyin' at their feet,
While others might enjoy a twitterin' parakeet.

A house just ain't a home without an inscrutable...

Solstice Burning

Distant footsteps trodding through a suburban graveyard.
The Black Dahlia reposes silently
pondering the moment with a carved grin.

when she lost her heartbeat.
More distant footsteps in the hills of...

We all sit here and eat burnt popcorn quite often.
We lie around and pretend we’re alive and kicking,
No sense in moving;...

He is the one who walks upon it.
Hallowed...from the sacrifice that passed it on.
Home...from infant life that still reposes
in the body.  There, it will entreat
with that fair eloquence the body politic
employs--all torn from old...
