A Free-Verse EpicThus it begins—
A free-verse epic
Into the mind of
A writer and an idiot—
A romantic and,
Often a pessimist
Conjoined in arbitrary glory
Are the thoughts and words
Of one overly-worked mind—
Charismatic and, of course,
On the pushover, pitiful
And usually...

The WallWinnie, wild-eyed, went insane
and sang “Happy Birthday” in the rain,
while she washed away her bloody pain.

she sings it loud, she sings it strong,
walled in where she does...

Ledger of Love: PART I
Ledger of Love
In the dim-lit chambers of the Victorian home,
Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome.
Once, love’s flame burned bright within her breast,
But now a thin whisp, a ghostly jest.
Her gaze averts from her...

At the Crux4/8/24
Aww shucks
Still at the crux
In a state of flux
With reality still out of touch

So I smoke a couple blunts

From dawn to dusk
I turned myself into a husk
Just so I...

If I'm certain it's going to serve
A definite...

As Go the Hours, the Days, the Years1.
I remember 20:
Aflame with ideas and visions,
A mind unfettered by necessity's constraints,
Spirit open to everything -
Tomorrow held no fears,
Yesterday no regrets;
There was only day following day,
Each new with something to give,
Each corner I turned
Led...

A Cry In the NightYour voice kisses the breath of the morning wind
Snapping in the solemnity that bears a cry unto God.
Angels have come to earth; that in slumber seemed,
Like the wind creaking among the faith we once had.

The Impossible - Ch, 4 - Hanging OverheadThe aqua-blue sky’s currents are overhead…
Showering rain of soft, but pitiful dread
I’ve cried too many times now…
My hopes are no longer sea-deep and my woes are gone somehow
Pray for me, brethren…
Let His glory carry me...

For My ChildrenFor My Children
- Daniel Henry Rodgers
As dawn's first blush ignites the eastern sky—a cool
Caress of dew upon the breeze—and the birds' serenade
Pierces the silence, their notes ascending high.
The mist, like a spectral ballet, pirouettes, twirling
In the...

She Was Very PrettyShe Was Very Pretty

She was very pretty, in the usual way
for perhaps a day;
and when the boys came out to play,
she winked and smiled, then ran away
till one unexpectedly caught her.
