My life warps by its beasts of woes
depression dogs my day
at night, stress drains my restless soul
the wrongs have no delay

Myself am I, forsook decreed
hope laid by things...

Endless sunflower field 
Rhythmically swaying in the wind
Like lazy ocean wave stretches 
To the distant line of horizon
Touching the edge of the sky
Melting into hot noon brilliance
Boiling all shades of yellow into
One burning brightness of...

TO THE FLOWER

Your scent beckoned my weeping heart to painless flight;
amidst a garden where God dusts His pretty love.

Spring tints are pure and fragrant, free of guilt
Your hues painted another sunrise for my eyes;
when once...

My lungs are deprived of oxygen; Engulfed in violence, I cannot breathe
Conspiracies of corrupted Love and Faith are choking me
My perverted deception of lettered 
Combinations of a language I cannot speak
Fueled by an unmistakable anguish

Alberta “Jean,” the different one was she
since her birth and among her family.
This redhead born of parents with dark hair
had felt herself an odd plain duck; in prayer
she’d kneel and on her father’s farm was...

There stands a woman with the light from the stars flickering in her eyes
Knowing that while she stands there, her life has gone awry

She stands there still with dreams that are all her own
She in...

Deep in peaceful rest, lay I.
Not a hint of what would come by.
In my dreams chasing ludicrous fantasies
Seeking out endless possibilities.
But away, far and away, have I gone from there.
Far and away due to a...

The Mayan Warrior Princess

In eerie recurring dreams, like things seen dimly before dawn,
blurred memories of a temple pyramid resurface from an era long gone. 
My ancient soul trapped between two different worlds,
one new - the...

Lunatic:
You can call me a lune,
cause I'm crazy enough
to play the game of love
and think I can win.
I think I'm crazy.
The space by me is spinning,
and I'm seeing stars.
Dark shoes, scuffed soul.
A moonlight beam in...

when evening’s dawn descended on her restless soul

defeated dusk and dust collected deep into the night

cobwebs spun an open trapdoor over broken peace

insomnia prevailed as a cynical reminder of treason

in which reason failed to align...

WINDOW SEAT

Sitting beside him in the window seat as they
taxied for take-off at the end of the day, she was
nubile and pretty, as young as his daughter, nearly
perfect in the way of a late-autumn sunset...

None knows what signaled him 
Deep down the rim
To get down from the train
As if gone insane 
All on a sudden
Much before the destination
Amidst thunderstorm and torrential rain
Ripping off the existence

Trifling with fear, sadness, guilt
Ignoring...

upset about the way things are
crazy about the ones you miss

knowing things will be ok

I open again my window
Looking for a person I know
To steal a glance and say hello
Whom I have met few thousand days ago
I did it half of the day
Because to my surprise,
I almost forget
Yesterday, I...

Arcane sunlight in early morning stillness,
Dancing by a veil of mist with rare brilliance.
I huddle near the window pane, pondering,
In this calm span, where dreams are wandering 

In the atrium of my...

The night is unbearable humid
The breeze is dreadfully thick
Stars glisten delicately, with temptation
Against the somber, deep, cerulean skies
Lights glimmer all across the humungous bustling city
As the mindstricken sinner attempts to lie
For no one, shows nonentities...

Ferry me furiously further 
from the furnace of self chaste 
and river of man -hope,
The island of feigned wellness,
The high-horse of self-pride;
 hangman of pure-heart. 


What's the shame in weakness?
What's the shame in weeping?
What's the fault in falling?

I wake before the sun 
While the city sleeps
The moon awaits my call
And the night is there to greet
My soul is always restless
My heart is known to roar
And my mind always at peace
With golden wings...

Gliding among the ancient stones standing in that fearsome moor.
Mists wafting about the burial ground add to this spectral scene,
And circling above, a sinister...
