nothing short of an imminent civil war
dwarfing insurrection on January 6, 2021

My Heart Will Go On - POTD

Bud
Strong, in some ways –
Reflecting the old times, the old days,
Like a moment inspired by light,
Suggesting the beauty of a smile,
Echoing truth in every movement,
Exposing the wonder of a heart…
Who is laughing, dancing like leaves
Of...

In the labyrinth of bone-like thoughts, where the echo of pain ricochets madly
In the labyrinth of bone-like thoughts, where the echo of pain ricochets madly,
I desperately seek a prosthesis for my soul, maimed by life and disappointments.
Where is the cosmic workshop that forges spare hearts hidden?

Let me lay in your tall grass valleys nestled between two hard black mountain peaks,

Can drink up the sunrays.

Modern Poet's Pinball Machine
Roll up to the amusement arcade.
Behold all the video games you can play -
Dodgem car driving games, smash-'em-up derbies.
Claw-crane lunge-and-snag-a-toy games,
Pop-a-shot in basketball hoops,

of your poetic sparks ~ lost,
placed within the kohl-dust

seared by Zeus’s thunderous...

Catching our...

Tip toes the indistinct
circumstance
summoning prescient
a moment
from a moment
tethers a heart to immolation
virtuoso in instincts
inspiration
Her passage lay silken summer flower heads
misty ephemeral on enchanted...
