Emotional Shrapnel
Continuous cathartic resonance of black bashful veil,
imposing the darkest recess and its tangled tantrums amassed,
phases exist without problematic manifest intrusion illusory but for a while,
the reckless chilling bursts of wild incendiary angst a blight,
such burdens...

Life On the Street
A monochrome of boho days
segue one another surreptitiously.
Endless pantomimes of idle chatter flutter by.
Cantilever bridge, a one stop halting site for gossip and suspense.
Small talk, bespoke winged creature, Combe of pleuron.
Turin shroud spotter in the...

When Trump Tweets
(Played to the tune, “When Sly Calls,”
by Michael Franks)
When Trump tweets,
Mo’ scowls furrow
When Trump tweets,
the scandals grow
As rumors shake,
idle sits the Boss
Bankrupt morality
is the grifter cost
When Trump tweets,
the rubles spin
When Trump tweets,
the dictators win
Decorum falls,
indecency...

We Did Not Dye In Vain
we did not Dye in vain!

though i’m just a slimy crawler,

Follow the Dream
The dream that calls me,
I can`t sleep...
And break all this
For travelling
Go through the darkness, Wind & snow
Follow new sunbeam...
To find the music
Of my soul
With the heartbeat
In unison
I know: my ship
Keeps right direction
To my dream!

Good Wishes For My Enemy
I thought for long you were my good friend,
trusted you with a faithful mind to the end,
but in the difficult times you betrayed me,
saw the mask you wore fall discarded in debris.
Your flashing deceptive eyes...

Will You Ever Be a Poet
Did you ever have a lover
with long red hair?
For long red hair
seems too unfair.
Did you ever have a lover
and then another lover?
For there's added gain
if you feel no pain.
Did you ever have a lover
who loved...

Tethered To a Moment
Obdurate goat tangles rough knotted rope
Stuck beside shadowy friend, Silky Oak
Hedonistic prisoner capricorn, cheap trope
Ethics remain riddle, morals mere joke
Towered timber utters truth in its creak
Canopy clapping hands crush recollection
Billion fingered Silky Oak, silver...

Unmet expectations damage the dormant psyche,
futile promises smother the rays of fading hope,
unkind words tear the lattice of the mangled mind.

Earth
Environmental sumptuous symmetry uniquely resplendent,
kaleidoscopic kindling of the visual nirvana,
spiral rapture enshrouded stimulant,
sapphire dawn first light purr nectareous,
a mint ice tinged mystic morning mantra,

Totenkopf
Non-forfeiting my troth, in bonny and buxom, I believed.
What good is too good? And why is better, better than worse?
Given the first beginnings I merge intuition with silence,
And form my own variant of “das...

Drone
I fly wide-eyed into the glinting night,
Along valleys with man-made stars aglow.
Thrills and sorrows on both sides line my flight,
Neon rivers flow restless down below.
Grandiose dreams from serried rooftops crow,
Million-watt...

Dark red, luscious apples felled from her own tree long ago
Under the beaming sun plummeted with a soft, aching blow

Upon the discovery of rot that blackened...

The Borrowed Future
To observe the happy ignorance divide,
when blindside vanity takes a ride.
The affordable vision without integrity,
overspread trust in God for certainty.
Status quo in brisk and surety,
invested in generations of immortality.
While in those pleasant ideal we talk,
abusing...
