the sky is opaque as my nature has stood out, the rain drizzles down my windows and I am distinctly reminded how it once drizzled down my back; the lacquers...

The Jig Is Up
When Irish eyes are smiling,
And the gymnast smile extends to curve her petal-red lips,
That's when she'll let her waves fall down with the grace of 
a faerie.

If in a wheat field the sheathes would glow...

A Panegyric Tale of Love
Neath shimmered strings of starlight’s breeze, crepuscular in night
on trodden soil he lay with slumbered eyes.
Lashed to oak, his chestnut mare in dream just out of sight
snaps free as lightning flashes; flares the skies.

Bounds to...

Raindrop
Today I sit silently still…love ill
I watch raindrops drip from hanging leaves,
weaved clouds change colours of pink and gray
while a stray drop tumbling finds my fingertips
as if nature’s lips have kissed my skin.
I breathe in...

Premium Member Set Fire
Pentagon shaped prisons poison their people with lies,
Using planes and petulant pious lies to coerce with fear.
From the ashes of their turmoil rises the phoenix of insurrection,
Choked by meager matters of the trogolodyte mind. 
Sheepish...

Premium Member Why Is It Today
Why is it, today?
Is it the demons playing games again in the ethereal realms?
Are they yet again trick-or-treating hidden hoof to helm?

The third of your eyes is sighing yet again,
At the inventive sight you hide...

…fighting for peace with guns is like bonking for virginity

it is a macho world but then women can be excellent killers

the barrel phallus washed from conscience dipped into blood

Standing before an invisible army, 
The boy stands watching from behind their hidden lines,
Peering into their smiling cheeks and jowls.
Returning the smirking favor, he holds up his electric hands,
Whose dendrites trickle lightning from his metaphysical...

The Fall of Michael
The angel Michael fell deep into his despair, 
he shed his wings of light, 
until he was bloodied and bare. 
Broken - he cursed all things,

he ripped his weapons from...

moon dust laces lattice on lush leaves, 
fireflies flash on the trail of dream”. By Poet

out of the cauldron of infinite emptiness,

They can’t explain the diaper, 
yet they would explain poor Jack.

"One More Monchielle Stanza"



This January day
I took a pleasant walk.
It’s sixty-one degrees.
I’m relishing this time
before the brutal freeze.

young children play outside.
