Gnarled Shadows
Through shadowed trails beneath the moon’s cold stare.

No slumber dreamt; no...

Kristy and the Conch Shell
Along some bank of ambiguity.
Isolated while in wonder,
I lacked motivation.
Consequently, I preferred to be someplace different.
I perceived myself wandering near the banks,
Concerning one Tiber River in Rome.
"What is behind me,
Is not in front of me!"
Snickering,...

Reprobate of a Draconian State
There's tyranny taking place in the United States.
Fear of it becoming a Draconian State is not just a threat.
It's reality, thanks to the presidential powermonger
whose hunger and thirst for rulership are evident
in the hypocrisy that...

Enchantress (Let Me Chisel Talk You) Part Three
(Continued from part two)
O! enslaver beware, you are sprouting horns.
Kher, poor thing, you should try to be fair,
Nimble mares, could tongue-tie you there.
The bulls are rearing in their thrills, at bay.
K.S. the lion chaste-tied in...

Lips Curl At Your Fiddles
(Piece is intended to be the most complex vocabulary gothic ever)
Grandiloquence,
mellifluous pulchritudinous,
gaiety of quintessential moistening serendipity,
bile deluge if you show the sanguinary breath,
crimson waterfall sizzling on lava rock hellscape.
Yclept necrophelia maestra,
macabre tableau,
dips douse abyssal incarnate,

The Bitter Bite of Night
The Bitter Bite of Night!
Night creeps in sotto voce
melding with the mellowing village life.
Night, a seemingly mischievous cat,
slips along incognito in its prankish mood,
teasing any light that tries to define her.
Night now casts darkness into...

Lost Love Deliria - Part 3
Part 3
9th Delerium: Emptyness
Water wheels in wastelands... turning,
drowning relics in the slum
Rumpled rags of fashioned burlap... burning,
lit by bandits blind and dumb
Pastured prisons, ponies bridled ... yearning,
forest fairies under thumb
Sounds inside of cauldrons coughing......

The Dolphin
Beneath the illumination of the elliptical moon,
Within the cove of diamond bay, waves gently sway
Back and forth, under the oceans clarity of the big blue,
As the surfs foam and spray roll against the white sandy
Beaches...

Kongi
Wired mortal from the English Art
Banished from his home, spotted from a distance
Noble amongst scrawling African inscriptions
First veneration of mystical minds
Take a bow, take a bow.
Obliterating deliberate disregard
From interrupters of our histories,
With trophies,...

White and Crimson Scribbles
My crimson scribbles; there is no meaning, there is no feeling, and there will be no healing, not today at least…
Horizontal, never vertical for some reason. I cannot explain, though reasoning is out of my...

Cosmic Winks and DIY Inks
In the workshop of my waking hours,
I am the maker of my own day,
Crafting moments with a DIY attitude,
Twisting fate's threads with hands unbound.
At 6 AM, I pick up my tools,
Coffee grounds and ambition,
Mixing the...

Death of a Poet

The Magic Painting
She stood before the painting
And slowly it changed
The cat moved slightly
The woman’s head nodded
She liked the painting
It was very well done
Much intricate design
Much wizardry of the eye
They had resurfaced
Then gone again
Forever lost
In magical memories
There in...

Friends Reunited
Friends? Reunited
Via "Facebook Message" the invitation
Reached me - bold in bright blue tint
With sprawling “school days” animation
And scrawling script in child-like print
Announcing that another year
Could not surely be allowed to pass….
Would I care to...

Easter Ivy
It's used as an afterthought, fattening festive
arrangements for Mother's Day, Easter,
someone's birthday. An underrated vine,
enhancing center-stage flowers whose star-power
doesn't wear well. It's the "coming attraction"
that's there after the clapping dies down,...

My Heart's Decree
I'm stealing a few moments from Father Time
to pen my thoughts on parchment pages.
I write of mirth we shared, sweet and sublime,

SPIRITED GIBBERISH
"SPIRITED GIBBERISH"
Curtained eyes droop, closing, cleansing, visions. Feathering sunlight. Splintering waked-vivid lashes dreaming of the day. Eyes concealing retreat from here, to there, to what once was, weightless pestilence, plumy blights. Wind-born, am I, are...

on my side, as I looked longingly in her eyes
Tempted to reveal the whole spiel
She spoke with unequivocated zeal
