The Sea of Humanity

All I see
           is washed away
into the sea,  the Sea of Humanity.

Swarming seamy sea surging sorrows of self pity
whisking waking hours of human emotion
draining...

Mama Mia, Mama Mia

What mighty man shall this cup serve,
Whose power rests on fealty’s nerve,
With certain lust it shames to know,
How upon its charms did grow.

A thousand years did wax and wane,
Until a Dane did ascertain,
That time was...

Dangerous Dalliance

Perilous is the journey, sordid is the quest, flashing flirtatious desire,
Treacherous is gaudy aspiration, playing with torrid flames of fire;
No matter how thrilling, how visceral may feel this insidious chase,
Neither it is a road to...

Madman Chronicles

Staggered by the virus burning through the city veins,
Stop motion, speeded up, the slam of distant trains,
Rattled through the concrete as forgotten people die,
Howling jets of power chords go crashing through the sky.
The cardboard jungle...

Away

Nightly the familiar march,
sunset suffused with dawn.
Crushed the moments in between.
Neither praised nor cursed but
merely lost amid their myriad kin
and dreadfully forgotten.

Misplaced lives amid unreckoned days—
for sale by merchants of expired skill
who barter time and...

The Tigress

Every picture tells a story, 
it is doubly so of faces; 
ah, what tales the tigress tells 
at dim lit bars in far flung places. 
Feline smile on feral lips, 
reflections of an almost life;...

Separate

Convalescence empathy
removes the grit of wear
my thoughts are now encompassing
before ~ were just aware!

Oh, bide my time in effigy
thee once were all I shared,
now look away in emptiness
with sullen eyes that stare!

That saying Faith brings...

June She's My Favorite Month

I couldn't stop thinking about the June
It's the month so shy and dreamy
But she could never forget soon.

That morning, June was shocked by the moon.
She found herself feeling rather beamy.
April couldn't stop thinking about June.

Later,...

Humble Pie Eaten

Swollen to the brim with puny pride
I take on the seamy side of life a ride
That for me promises bliss
When caution advises
Analyzes and synthesizes
The obsession with a stolen kiss.

Thrown into total disarray
On my knees I...

Please Stop Teasing Me

Romantic overtures
like gaudy butterflies 
kissing all blooms 
that come their way,
teasing me, haunting me,
flirting with me
and playing havoc 
with my feelings
 
Are you really harmless?
Is it fatal poison I drink?
I ask for hero worship
I get...

A Loner's Diary

Dear diary!
One who bears the brunt of my adversity,
And my misery, you condone with affability.
There and back to make an affix,
Of an apparently gifted anomalies.

Night so long and yet so short
Threatening with its dreadful silence...

You’re my dreams / dreamt in blessed sleeps / lit in eternal light /
