Evening Fry
A priest once told me that the lump
on my hand was a ganglion,
a fortress of fat besieged by health.
At last it burst and the hand swelled
like an old man's,
shovel shaped and splayed.
It was her black...

The Prismatic Self
I am a dare-dreamer, a mask wearer
a soul bare-r (but not always my own); a word-weaver.
I pull at thoughts like strings. Strings of cobwebs
and cirrus, frayed dungarees and threadbare memories
until I warp and...

Your Double-Sided Coin
In you lies the timeless bittersweet dichotomy of divinity
The darkness and the light breed in you, their delicate fleshly host
God...God is in your eyes...
In that divine light gleaming from the black hollows of your pupils

Prior to intent
Written: July 18, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
Line of inquiry:
"heart sets up a vibration

mind translates in symbols

Quests Within Me
13/3/2012.
Doleful lugubrious quests feverously churn within my mind,
To quell thirst of my hunted and sought cravings consigned.
Every night and every day they scald and scorch,
Thoughts charred smothering move in and fade away, akin a...

A Woman's Wake Up Call
A Woman’s Wake up Call
So many regrets,
I wish to send,
a mend,
a fix or change.
Numerous decisions,
Not yet set,
Only just rearranged.
A life time of broken hearts,
Now presently one.
Preheating each mistake,
I’m left to...

Burning Sandalwood
In a ever expanding vast ,
dense,dark ,wild forest,
crooked ,cracked,bent trees,
which provide shade ,bearing
fruits venomous ,with
roots rotten deep down
and spreading to its offshoots.
In the midst ,lies a sandalwood,
spreading enchanting fragrance
without acknowledging its inner
essence and withering away

Walking Away
All that glitters ain't gold
Weighs that we've been sold
Don't let my words scald or scold
Listen

Of an owl with eyes
As old
As the first

Raver
he’s a raver, deep from marrow, born
who screams at moons to curse the morn
and though his flesh is bloodless, torn
he woos the beast inside him
for night alone won’t hide him
he creeps the nettles, scratched and...

Nowhere In Sight
On a grassy verge above the surging rill
she stood fair haired and proud,
three leaf clover substrate at her toes.
Clutching saline bouquets I had plucked
from my neighbours walk-in green house.
Woman of resplendent peerage cast...

Love In the Spirit Realm
I revere you here, in the midst of the flames
Which scald incinerates and purifies the faith,
And hurled ash and smoke into the frames
Where flowers blossomed before our birth.
Which scald incinerates and purifies the faith
Where you...

Is This All I Am
Acrid tears have dried upon my soul.
Their tracks painfully erode
the partition I hold before myself
and the world I need escape.
Thin as rice paper, are my emotions.
A false step rips the calm I hold.
Displacing my hopes...

Thus light from it wast of haven impeccably urged,
For the destiny of its evil deeds’ concomitant wast yet purged.

Beginnings Excite but Are Difficult,
