for raw-edged nouns, barbed verbs, vowels’ lush bouquet;

The poet sees the sea but feels its meaning—

and kissed my furrowed brow and smoothed my hair,

Ironbar

He just appeared to me, like wispily curling 
Chimney smoke, 
One grim and early morning in the very midst of 
Decembers briefest days, on the highest slope,
Toiling through my daily round; where, slowly 
Driving up...

Brought Low Till I Had Enough

That falling in love ain’t a friend at all
No one can hear my midnight shout, I’m out
Try to knock me out, but I’ll stand tall
Help is on the way...

Seeds

"Seeds"



Blue reaches reflections
touching ripples 
tears in time ephemeral
caresses fragrant Green my canopy

opens the light
inside me 

cracked eggshell 
golden-yoked sunshine
pale turquoise kintsugi
splintered paths inside my mind

in the smallness
of me 
something 
quietly blooms 

ragged yet refined
a gecko...

In harmony, in perfect weather, in unison in everyone's eyes
Guys and girls will...

Chilled To the Bone

Shivering with fear,
I want to be in someone else’s skin
Chilled to the bone,
Nameless remorse whips me from deep within
From deep within,
This pain drips on like acid rain
Deep down inside, the sin
Scorches me aflame 
Can’t help,...

Mobilizing able citizens, attempts to guarantee success.

Times are changing, still they cling to the past.
As if...

Beneath the heavy burden of pain, with echoes in sacred silences,
I lay down verses at dusk, where words are lost to the wind,
A saga of...
