STOLEN ILLUMINATION OF THE STAR

This journey has not been a fanciful adventure, 
we're all settlers in  these dynasty of neo-colonialism 
united only by what divides us. Victims, yes 
victims of civilized inducement, 
terms of...

I seldom indulge in letter writing 
Because I consider it 
To be a cold and illusory 
Means of communication. 
I will only send someone a letter 
If I'm certain it's going to serve 
A definite...

Energy found its way through the rigorous
rigamarole of trial and error of those persistent
like the Wright Brothers, the Curies, or Thomas 
Edison, and others. The close failures were consistent.
At the time, based on their hypothesis

...And those who scream,”No gun! No knife!
Not even if to defend my life!”
Care they so little for being human
that they won’t even stand up to defend
the greatest gift bestowed by this universe?
It strikes me as...

...Yet there is another reason that some
desire to diminish what is true,
those who hate truth because they are afraid
that it might limit what they can go do.

Whether it be a Hollywood pedo,
or that gangbanger out...

Enea, at the Scottish Court

The critics claim that this is far the worst
of all the frescoes.  Enea the star?  No
inkling here.  Can that be James the First?

And that’s the Clyde?  It...

What would you say
If after this time
You reawakened this day
Long out of reach, your prime?

Would you still ride the horse of your forms
Bequeathed by Poseidon forever to be
Or from your eyes 
Would your reality emerge
Amidst...

You came down to this protest,
you cannot let anything rest,
paid for it by special interests;
shut up and live your life.

You still have this childish need
to scream ‘right side of history!’
you bought into that sophistry?
just shut...

It's thought quite excellent for humankind 
eyes closed, to pause and stretch the mind;
The seahorse gambols off into the skies
and disappears.  The scholar sighs,
then smiles, picks up his book and pen
and turns to the...

In the avalanche, I lost track of my guiding light.
I fled my fireside. I had to evacuate my homestead. 
Driven far astray by frenetic frozen fright,
I was just a cowardly racing rescuing airhead.

The wounded wooden...

Inspire me.... 
Even as I attempt this 
Iambic nonsense 
How can silence, 
Emanate from chaos:
It's direct opposite? 
A pure contradiction of concept...


Crashing, cascading....... 
In a metaphoric ambiance of emotions, 
Anger infused like an avalanche of...

When a man dies for freedom,
we don’t know what we’ve lost,
since most of us can’t tell
the shining from the dross.
We live in the safety
these braver souls have built,
never having to face
the world of kill or...

I’ll sing you dream songs
that last as long as the hills
but know this my love
it’s fullness IS
the striving of our wills

Against the darkness
that has crept stealthily
into the hearts of man
I cannot describe
this latent longing
to rest...

No one speaks of Rapture
anymore

What could one say
short of singing
and dancing
graceful tandem play?

Even evangelists
seem less sure
Rapture is a grace-filled promise
of reward for virtue
and not merely a hell-fire threat
to punish capital idolatry,
greedy sophistry

Wondering whether global Rapture
is...

I had a dream yestreen:
There was darkness' and light's, And I stood between;
To the side of light I looked with a sigh,
There men spent ineffable rights, by and by.

There love was a sea, and virtue...

Supremacy permitted to carry out his work

Photos no longer turn yellow as they did in the paper era
Securely stored images are now independent of memory
Their world seems fictional, and dates replace memories.
Life becomes an album produced by unknown creator
Divided into fragments...

Sold Out Lilies.     

They are angels and goddesses well betrayed

Their hearts led astray by the naivety of minds,
And their hands moving rampant in...

I linger at my laptop day and night.
Not making a fiction to shift a slight.
My ink was poised on the tips of my knuckles.
There isn't a veil of aims waffle puzzles.

Beyond the plain, 
beyond the distant hills
the coast is calling, 
even in its silent diffidence
proclaiming richness to horizon's crust,
that here is where the world begins—
here is where a man may throw
his soul into the wind,...
