(The Eden Agenda III)

A BACKWARD GLANCE
Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,
the...

 Continued from Part 1


The trees, they hang in time and space around me –
trees, which in time before had swayed,
so gently tugged by ocean breezes,
trees, which in time before were lightly lit
with emerald tinted...

Standing at the plate there is no doubt
The pitcher is determined to strike me out
He squints to see the catcher's glove
Then spins and swings his arms above

The ball scorches a path across the plate
I feebly...

ORIGINS

I
It began in the dank basement of the Thallasic column
steeped in abyssal brine of a thousand supernovae
so much alchemic sludge churned up, expelled by the co-tidal vice into the epeiric sea
 
A million points of...

There are those who walk among us
materialistically inclined
Their hearts are solely focused
on what they'll leave behind

..prized possessions..properties..
..money in the banks..
..vehicles and commodities..
..attaining higher ranks..

They never give a word or thought
to disadvantaged others
They never see the...

A Lollipop Day

A swing stalls mid swings
kicked dirt strewed a ground
a swing seat goes empty
a boy whacks away at clung dirt
     ~~lawn trails a dusty path,

Blue jeans stand at attention

I miss something I never had, gripping my heart constantly
my mind drifts , or quiet becomes the tune in my ear.
Shattered dreams, 
Questions of why
This is day to day life, as the years fly by.

NIGHT GONE CRAZY
It started with small talk,
Went to a call here and there,
‘Would you mind lunch’, he said
A few lunches would do no harm,
Besides a girl has to eat.

She’s down to the second drink,
This being...

Standing in a wooden room, barren, except for sand, 
Three little girls play pretend,
A bee hive hangs in the corner, of the playhouse,
Big and large it stays around,
Busy buzzing bee's fly in and out,

She’s about to awake
I feel my heart quake
Her body is rolling over
She’s messing the cover

Will she take me out to pee?
Oh, my, such heavenly glee!
I do so love her with all I am
She treats me...

characters on chairs,

in-tro-du-cing…
mr. claus, mr. frosty, o. deer, and self e. elf

silently a counselor ticks notes with a pad and pen,
occasionally, taking a one minute christmas snooze.

dully, he asks, “so what are you...

Discriminated by his brothers for lacking melanin 

He is but subjected to verbal...

mindless Frankenstein,
single-minded,
and her voracious, faithful dog 
with a seventy-foot tail, 
lifting carpets, sliding sofas,
slurping everything in sight,
with a bottomless pit for an appetite,
metal, insects, dead mice, coins,
fingernail clippings, fleas, spider brains -  
It gurgles...
