My Hell

I fall down
deeper and deeper
into oblivion
nothing
only darkness.
the sounds of evil
dripping into my ears
slithering farther
and sliding down into me
filling me with echoes.
terror courses through
my veins

Put my gear in the trunk and put my canoe on the roof rack
Headed out down the freeway and got off at exit seven
The...

Sleep, Evanescent

Deep, deep, deeper ...

A dark so fluid I am lost
Swimming, choking, in ink
Still, I dive, soaring down, down
Faster and faster as I dive

And brilliance and purifying joy
I fill my being...

Paper Dolls

she is everything you have seen in the movies
crayola hair
velvet dress
sugar in her veins
tears glued to her face
she fingerpaints the kitchen walls like a little girl and tapes their polaroids to every surface

My Masterpiece - Dark and Twisted

I'm sorry mom, but I killed a man.
His daughter and newborn that was in his hands.
I'm so sorry because you raised me well,
but there's a demon inside
and I thought that I should tell.
I found pleasure...

How Hard Could It Be Part 1

How hard could it be to take my first step?

to take a path where stumbling stones are many
and they'll make us wiser learning about life.

Empathetic Light

Empathetic Light

Lady Diana, the exquisite Princess of Wales.
A heroine now in hundreds of tales.

An accomplished pianist at Buckingham Palace.
A hopeful ballerina, a kindergarten teacher.

A radiant young woman who loved to dance,
A royal young activist.

Sonnetina Sequence-The Ripe Orchards

September has come
and the ripe orchards
abundantly display their delicious fruits:
peaches of delicate rose,
and cherries of deep red!
Teens, with their empty baskets, 
anxiously run to pull them 
off the drooping branches;
and one of them yells,
" I...

Our Day Out

Our Day Out

Our day out to Wales in the Summer of 1981
In car temperature soars that alike to Lebanon,
Not like the previous year of 1980

Moving Lightly

I move lightly at sixty,
a little less than the max.
Any faster, and the sunflower shells I spit
blow back in my face,
and any slower and the driver behind
becomes too distressed.

I move lightly at sixty,
homeward through the...

Do You Remember Dancing Along To Harry

Do you remember?
When first we met
When we were set up
By our so called friends
Tony and Gwen,
Who quickly abandoned us?
A quick introduction
Then they were gone
Leaving us with each other
How awkward was that?
Being left with a complete...
