Whose rage should burn hotter

dry up all thy rivers, scorch the earth, that
thy crops may burn to ashes before
thine eyes, and the heat from the

In stars above
Humming in hemlock heartbeats ~
along the shorelines
which once swallowed the sun
in their searing shadows ~
I see those smoking seawaves
swirling upon my skin,
as the silhouettes
of damask dahlia damsels
drizzle and dance
in the tornadoes of
tangerine...

The SignIt was raining when I met her.
A sure sign.
I ignored it.
Many a love story started in the rain.
We headed into the restaurant.
She throttled her brolly, drenching me in the process.
I ignored it, my white suit...

AND SO, IT BEGAN
England had joined WW II,
War declared against Germany
All men and women of the age
Required for conscription, joined,
Bravery had to be shown,
Even cowards could not decline.
Trembling they stood in line.
Excitement, fear, yet only teenagers,
Adrenaline, anxiety, eagerness,
These...

who haven't the slightest clue of what just transpired

The Stranger Man 2THE STRANGER MAN (2)
They who posses tire
out and loose more
in keeping.
As homeowner never
have I felt at home
But closer home as
squatter and
settler.
The crop man crops
his way through
life,
The dry cleaner
cannot subdue the
muck;
The well heeled
can’t afford inner
balm with...

Children of FaithChildren of faith,
That look up to the heavens,
For help, for comfort,
For a change, for a beginning;
They are like nails hammered into rocks,
They have broken hearts,
They've got nothing,
Completely no one else to turn to,
They walk in...
