How the Romans played their moonlit dreams
splashing out near viaducts of love I can only
wonder same as with knights in shining armour
or rather without when the Ages seemed dark
and oriental spices called...

Demon 'Punchers, Part Iii

III.
He kept off the roads to avoid their eyes,
through scrub and dry grass, onwards he did ride,
skirting north of the ranch, behind a ridgeline,
until he stopped to see what he could find.

Sol crested the ridge...

One, Two, Three, Four

Try as I might....I could not get it right
Small fingers that stretched over the chipped ivory whites
While scrunching her face, with that crabapple frown
She would tap out the beat, with her eyes looking down
"One, two,...

The Trapper and the Brave, Part I

It was back in nineteen-nineteen
when Timlin Rivers checked his traps,
by one he found just a weasel skin,
did not know what to make of that.

Why would bother to raid a trap
but leave the pricey skin behind?
Who’d...

A Moment of Belief

Wise words will tell you
To follow all of your dreams
And that the only goal in life
Is to ultimately succeed
And that you can visualize 
And set a goal
In order to achieve
But I ask you now

The Preacher Part 3

“It’s time,” she said in a deep throaty voice,
She picked him up and carried the preacher who had little choice,
He hung over her shoulder as she walked with ease,
Her blistering flesh when she touched him...

One Bad Apple

"One Bad Apple"




Soft cool-aid breezed in
wielding her sharp peeler
skinning the first apple

Boss girl 
begins.

Stewed apples 
slowly eaten 
swallowed, taken in

One way out. 

Boss girl
begins.

A Bad Dream

A dream, bad from every nook
In front of my eyes, so painful.
Eyes of mine being tearful
And petrified of the remembrance, I looked.

Deep down somewhere inside the heart
Lies a monotonous melancholy,
Lording slowly, speaking distinctly
Of the ones,...

I Am Not Afraid

Wilderness! My God at the wilderness
Always I have been here, but never this alone
Never without some means of transport -yet so I am
What choice to make, what direction for survival
As if I've never faced a...

The Spanish moss hangs all over the bayou swamp
Water is cold and damp
The misty haze covers the air
The alligator hunter is in his tiny boat in middle of nowhere

Suddenly crocodiles surround his boat
He has hard...

Soulful Convo With the Soul

I thought it is wiser that I confess
That I overlooked that you are complex.
And that I had nudged you off the edge.

I thought I could mumble an apology to you.
For nobbling you and causing you...

Summer time was filled with laughter and fun
Childhood remembered playing in the sun
Swimming holes and watermelon served ice cold
You can’t go home again, so I have been told
But home, I go,when my mind drifts back

Soul Surgery

As I saw your
caged
soul rioting for my
attention, I knew
you to be my 
perfect
victim and started
envisioning how to
ravage
your beauty so it could 
ensnare
and impersonate my
lifetime wishes

Fearlessly you
revelead your 
nature, fiercely you
demanded
reprimand, boldly you
offered
acts of service, bravely...

Wounded Whisper

We have been forbearing your oppression for a long time,
Your threats; placing your pistol on our foreheads for a crime;
Shoving your dagger straight toward our chests, as though piercing,
Watching our helpless nervousness and mockingly cheering;

Takes me back to a time when I was just a kid
The world around me was ever growing
And there was a sweet innocence in everything I did

Animal Voice

Oooih! Oooih!
Listen to the voice of an elephant,
Crying in the wilderness,
Help me, save me, leave me alone,
I need to live and keep my tasks.

Oooih! Oooih!
The rhino is also weeping,
So much in pain,
Help me, save me,...

Fish Tale

Scales hardened over her skin
a condition called ichthyosis vulgaris

ik-thee-O-sis vul-Ga-ris

fish disease

(the ‘vulgar’ means ordinary
but at its worst
it is far from common).

She bled where the plaques chipped and cracked,
she leaked oils, but could not sweat enough.

Who Needs a Title

Thunderous palpitations upon benign sedaments,
Miscreants vindicate with justice of six cents.
A vociferous tyrannosaurus bursts sickly
Sanitized wives and rodents scurry very

Sedately towards dainty cliffs and heights
Of unforeseeable depths-withered sights.
A Persian rug is spread across garnered grounds...
