Whats Behind the Curtain
I used to dream of a dark hall. Dim. Empty with thick cheap navy curtains.
The breeze. It felt hot and old. It shivered in the curtains that lined the walls on both sides.
The breeze....

Over the Edge
Jack and Sam
were two inseparable souls
Best friends tend to be like that,
especially if both were born on the same day
They were two good looking kids,
who liked to play rough and tumble
Didn't mind scraping their knees...

The Fire (Marked To Be a Human Dragon Part Ii)
New sedan tracked into the wet puddle on the sharp bend
Grasping for breath the engine choked to die splattering
Wheels crunched jerking to stop by the grassy pavement
Hitting the ignition time and again to revive...

A Bump In the Night
A noise heard in the darkness
this new place she lived in creaked and groaned
this place she was hoping to call home
first week of living alone
since the end of her marriage
and the broken heart pain she...

Family Secrets
Mossy vines served as camouflage for a decaying headstone
This was the first time I’d laid eyes on your final resting place
In front of me stood a grey granite slab covered in emerald moss
Green ivy clung...

A Summer In Reflection
The morning sun hovers coyly
behind broad shoulders of the John Crow Mountain
before unwrapping petals of fever plant and Venice.
Mama’s countenance was far contrast to one so radiant,
so when the old Leyland bus went shuddering...

What They Saw (Part 1)
What they saw, that seminal liberation day,
Defied, at first, all comprehension;
The winding dirt road uncoiled to a clearing,
Snaked to primal ordinariness, a camp, militia deserted.
Static gates, fences of rust stained barbed wire,
Ramshackle huts in the...

Homeless in the Rain
The sky, heavy-laden with curdled black clouds,
Burst wide open, and all night long it rained.
It pitter-pattered on the panes,
And rattling on the slanting roofs.
It churned the dry soil to a pulp,
Overflowed the dusty gutters.
It drove...

her seventy-year-old body perfecting the rhythm of movement
from icebox to oven in her efficiency kitchenette.
Tangerine wall paint cracks and mixes carelessly
with bits of spice yet lingering...

- Cognizant But Not Repentant - 2
COGNIZANT BUT NOT REPENTANT
Her baptism with fire did not provide her healing
as in dust and grime, sharp memories still arise.
The arch of her wide, blue, eyes showed cognizance
but not repentant for long ago actions of...

The Enemy Within
I could always feel the cracks,
Long before they appeared,
But to whom could I confide,
Without feeling so weird?
More than a minor headache,
Less than a migraine,
It was just a constant trickle,
A delicate stream of pain.
Resonating with...

The Undersized Lunker
The dawn was approaching, not a breath of air blew,
And the bass should be bitin', at the edge of the slough.
I gathered my tackle and shoved in the boat,
Not knowing whether, the blamed thing would...

Surfing the Air
The breeze perfectly snaked up the mountain,
Through bushes, over rocks, towards me.
I leant back, pulling my wing up, it bloated in full,
Then hovered above the trees.
I stood there, both hands working the lines,
Looking out...

The Signs That They All Ignored
Nobody cared.
You could tell from the cracked and broken windows.
You could tell from the maggots and moths in the kitchen cabinets.
You could tell from the nails scattered across the dirt-caked floor, waiting patiently to be...

Lets Unite the World
“Let’s unite the world! “ The exuberant pretty teenager yelled.
She was shaking a yellow sign in the street. She had torn jeans.
A plethora of tattoos snaked up her arm, and her bellybutton showed.
I agree! I...
