Long Steeling Poems

T Salamander enjoyed local fame
down by the creek, there with her daughter.
Prided herself on her inky black frame,
bathing each day in the cool, brackish water.
She set amphibious cold-blooded hearts
on fire, exploding, through black magic arts.

The frog king, enthroned on his stump in the swamp,
Throatily cheered the processional romp.

The dragonflies darted and buzzed overhead,
And kept at safe distance the pink tongue of dread.

A midge lay sobbing right there at his...

April fools' day - ordinarily all manner of tomfoolery abounds

outlandish accouterments
people did wear
hermetically sealed
of even faintest tear
to avoid contamination
against coronavirus pandemic

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;...

A billowing curtain
brushed at my face,
as barking dogs
your steps did trace


With baited breath
I waited in tremble,
and with a hefty knock
my door did rumble

Penetrating rays of vibrant sunshine
Pierce through the darkness
Night’s black cruelty, ruthless
Angst assuring the shadows
Of dismal confusion, hysteria
A phrenzy of muddy discouragement

Please don't take 
What's not yours
Because I need it

And don't think 
Your welcome to
What is mine

I've worked hard 
Earning all
These sad feelings

And I'm steeling memories and time

I'm steeling memories
One string at a time
It cries out...

at interface of water and fate
burping bubbles for their troubles

Leaving the faint of heart, totally wrecked
Save brave hearts, who in stillness meditate
Our fall into the abyss, goes unchecked

Boldly facing, whatever be our fate

You never expect life, to take such a tragic turn.
You turn a spark to fire, forgetting about the burn.

People, hope, and god, attempt to stop the flame.
You refuse to listen, they're the ones to blame.

My Monster is fearless
Will ride all night
Shes the devil in a dress
Always picking a fight

She is misery itself
Meaningless, hurtful and shame
Money,greed and wealth
With everyone else to blame

Lying, steeling, zero compassion
Because she is always the victim
