Conspiring Muses

I've heard about non-violent communication
but wasn't deeply listening.
It didn't seem to have much of a plot,
a lack of creative tension,
drawing my full survivalist attention.

So this is probably all wrong
that I'm not owning my conspiring dissonant...

Capital Investment Problems

A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

Back...

Wrong Premises

I find it not right
nor sustainably left,
snapped the poet,
that sainted soldiers claimed healthy transitions 
toward divinely rapturous peace
to promote principles of death 
by deliberate
degenerate design.

I could not reasonably interpret good news
win-God/win-humanity scripture stories
designed for win/lose...

Me, Myself and Critique

Allow me a moment to deconstruct,,
Every wall characteristically set up.
And all the fabricated stories from corrupt
Individuals; Residuals of a past, 
I broke through and shattered like sugar-glass. 

Let me tell you; I'm not invincible.

Evolution of My Life

"Evolution of My Life“Evolution of My Life”

In Upstate New York's rustic veil,
A warrior's story slowly starts to sail,
A tale of scars that won't subside,
Of PTSD's heavy, crushing tide.

A veteran, 39, with eyes that roam,
Haunted by...

The Bone White Road

They laid and built a new road;

in the heat of the day it looks
like a stretched curved spine 
along which newly planted trees 
grow their skimpy wishbones
as they file along the verge.

There is no shade...

These Shadows

Shadows remind of you
These grey black deep shallow hues
Beneath the eaves beside the big trees
They almost silently whisper 
As I want to kiss her
She disappears

As we come and go here and there
Red or green or...

''Quantum Mechanical'': An Exercise in the Lyrical

So, so lyrical,
yet logical,
it's certainly atypical;
and not proverbial, 

but integral
and oh, most controversial!
But is it topical,
optical,

even for the intellectual
to see the actual
pragmatical
to its theoretical?

So casual, gradual, 
and implausible,
it’s almost incomprehensible
were it not for the owner’s...

Autumn Glow

It was a beautifully laid path of moram stones 
minuscule ice dust seated on my pink hands
holding yours covered with a three-quarter

With every one in a million,
Or should I say one in a billion?
Willing to believe in the odds,
That each of us were born with a purpose from God,

Childhood Dreams

Naiveté wraps the child
until the chills slowly
begin to snuggle in,
smothering the illusions leaving
the residuals of sickness
and disappointment
that is man.

In the Valley of Shadows

Amidst the Barbaric heathen hordes
Mordacious majesty’s scrofulous swords
Corroding cathedrals in the morning mist
Rampageous residuals that we must resist

In the valleys of darkness, my soul savors still
For the bloodstained moon begins her spill
The ruffled red rains...

She Was a Good Mote

A good mote,
something to imagine upon 
with sin in mind.
Near strangers in the same office,
clothed only by levels and walls.

From two floors up
she let her dark hair down.
Hour after hour 
he running fingers through strands,
twisting...
