Con'Vince' the Man
PROLOGUE:
For what's in a name,
That Shakespeare untamed,
A lyric gained fame,
But when it became,
A different ball game,
For one who's insane.
Yet if twin Yanks say 'Gogh' , 'tis equivalent
might meant, to be, like 'goes',
Dutch disagree, cite, annunciation,

When You Return Home
When you return home after many years,
stepping onto familiar soil,
your heart stirs with bittersweet anticipation.
The sun-tinted house that once witnessed your dreams
now stands a stranger, with cold eyes afar,
overgrown vines clinging to its weathered walls.

Land of the Once Scorned
Past the Darling plateau, down yonder
Through the docile jarrah trees
Where the wildest flowers wander
To and fro adorns the breeze
And the quietest fields of daisies mourn
The bodies of those once scorned
Safe away on endless tether
Awaits the...

Candlelight Night
Dark shadows are dancing
Around my bed tonight
This night’s been a mixture
Of what is good and what seems bad
Tonight’s been transcendent
And I’m alone in my room again.

My Childhood Home
My lovely childhood home, I miss it so...
built Eighteen Eighty-Six, so long ago.
Three floors, all rooms with mantled fireplaces;
carved woodwork, archways, spindled winding stair;
cathedral ceilings, sparkling chandelier
in dining room enjoyed on holidays.
Third...

Her pink teddy bear.. and her Barbie doll.
Pushed strollers of fun. ..in traipse of malls.

Dawn Arrives At Riverside Park
Independence Day has come and gone....
All magic has been trucked away to come again another day
Sweltering, yet, in the dewy lawn,
is the fragrance of burnt offerings....
hovering low like a old gray ghost,

When Scorpio Goes Dark
Antares' red glow bears firmly down
upon plush, chartreuse carpet
lying prone against the obsidian expanse,
blanketing sections of a remote
blue sphere, purling,
spinning helplessly
through distant time and space;
slave to routine and rotation,
never daring to break free;...

All elements laugh as I cast a moan
While grieving for longings I've never known
The mantle of the earth shrugs at my pride
While isotopes titter, slow death inside
This funeral for my future with you
Reeks with discontent...

Like Chaste Eyes
Chaste eyes trace my limbs, in the deep of woods
swerving like a breeze moist on fields of grass,
His Latin fire, on edge of twilight moods.
Shape of curves fondled like tender morass,
the call of moaning sprawls...

The Orange Cat
An orange cat slithers into
the middle of her empty lap
out of thin air, like orange juice
poured into a little tumbler out of
an enormous jug, holding more,
more, more of the same.
Cats have scared her...

The Anvil of Stillness
They shout for a piece of my mind—
I offer the quiet, forged and cool,
Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind
Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool:
A breath that holds when the structure sways,

Winter Eve In a Victorian Parlor
Outside, feathery snowflakes drift slowly to the ground.
Inside, love, fun and cozy fellowship does abound!
The dog and cat snuggle nigh the warm and glowing fire.
'Tis an intimate Victorian portrait that would any artist inspire!

Fighting the Darkness
The glitter surrounding our world
Has thinned out extensively
To such an extent
That darkness has not only infiltrated
Through our borders, but,
Has completely invaded our essence!
The rampage upon our confused hearts
Has already started
And the darkness has made...
