With canoe and hook of a jawbone
  below a great fish Maui snared,
and his brothers half-crazed behaving
  leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.
From Palliser Bay to Cape Reinga 
 (departing place of the...

(love story)

She was only 21-when her fiancés life
Was taken with a gun.

A hierarchy of antecedents 
an inverted pyramid or
joy that precedes heart break
and well wishes 
tears that cascade after facts
and unchecked plane tickets 
sentiments divulged, rearranged, displayed 
like an Muslim at inquisition 
Scientist's solution burning 
on a Bunson burn
making sense of what...

This hotel is familiar, I think I’ve crashed here before
I smell the stench of the ones who’ve smashed here
Limited to closed curtains and a locked door
So the guilt doesn’t leave the room
And sway into the...

The horsemen have arrived on their menacing mares,
Whose stiletto-hoofed horseshoes click-clack on an achromatic static; 
Silent staccatos inside an ultraviolet light.

As vidalian-dampened eyes drip viridian veneers before the mounted steeds,
And embrocations of nuclear infernos' fumes...

When the repellant acid rain came,
the silica image gloomed darkly
into sobbing disintegration

Embers of flickering hope
smouldered deep in the heart of despair
Passion dying to be re-ignited,
only sparked
a saline immolated tearful incineration

Distance was a skeleton key,
overcoming temporal...

Conceived by Abbot Suger, through a constant conjecture;
With perfect glasswork etched out of the then-time silica,
Found its place In Saint-Denis Cathedral Basilica...!

I'd almost forgotten what we were like

With straight laced back to bolster attention
pseudo reflection beguilingly displayed,
silica compressed, provokes recollection

of journey within when the truth was betrayed.
Like frost on the window defeat was coated
In faux sparkling gaiety, in sham masquerade.

That negative twin...

Resting stop-atop docile table;
it is cold inside of this garage.
Loneliness is my plague that stalks me as if predator.
Collection builds up, forming microscopic mountains; silica dusting this deserted land.
The cat's meow buzzes by (like) bee's...

White Sand and Temporary Oblivion

For an aching moment

Gypsum and glass as splinters
Of sunlight pierced the air
Bouncing bright off the landscape at
Alamogordo ---fat Cottonwoods and

Here, the sight of the...

In love with a woman
who stares at the mirror daily
and doesn't like what she sees

who she is to me
by telling her, her beauty
