I'm not sure when it happened, but I felt I had to say

Is not the one...

Whose rage should burn hotter
than mine; melt the noon day sun,
dry up all thy rivers, scorch the earth, that
thy crops may burn to ashes before
thine eyes, and the heat from the

When shall the lizard have hairs on their back?
When shall the He goat smell no more?

Premium Member 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...

Aphrodite As An Anthropomorphic Map
The goddess we call Aphrodite
Is not just an old Grecian deity.
  The Phoenicians did make
  Her a map. It's not fake.
Her body is cartograffiti.

The Punic war destroyed her face, 1
The Romans left nary...

Flies, drawn to their only sustenance, cloud around my head.
In this cloudless desert sky  - blank, deep-arching cavern of thought  - 
Unblinking  sun stares down but this fire-bird will not fly,

It 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...

Premium Member 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...

and I feel nothing at all;
not the warmth of the sun,
the melodies of songbirds,
nor the cars driving by my street
who haven't the slightest clue of what just transpired

Looking mysterious as the desert under the red sun

To become yet another mop in service of the Republic of...

Light, the kind that brings the faintest glimmer of hope,
appeared suddenly through a darkened wood;
like an oasis after travelling through the Sahara so parched
with thirst threatening to take my life for good.

The Stranger Man 2
THE 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

life,
The dry cleaner
cannot subdue the
muck;
The well heeled
can’t afford inner
balm with...

Children of Faith
Children 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...
