to LeftBrain dominant you

I'm still here
sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a weathered
wooden platform
for my monastic tent

Now folded
and masterfully squeezed into its...

Premium Member The Curse of Black Beard
Down deep beneath fathoms icy keep, where deadmen’s
Scream in utter silences aquatic hell, amongst the devils
Graveyard of wreckage's carnage, there exists a ghostly harbor
Of phantom ships!
Anchored are the souls of the undead, and vessels craft...

Premium Member Liberating Perfect Pride
In a perfect world
maybe everyone would have opposite and same sexual attractions,
ambiguously passionate attachments
of compassion's resilient arousal.

On a perfectly sanctified Earth,
maybe every species would incarnate only opposite sexual attraction,
attachments of passionate ego-arousal,
male dominant belonging in...

Of Dreams
Dreams are but fancies of a deeper place
Found in the realm of the mind asleep
Played out like old films in a movie palace
Starring phantoms freed from a dark, dusty keep

What meaning bestowed save only the...

Bell's Blues
Staring, vapor locked, at my Hammond B-3 console organ, which dominates my

Premium Member Tentacles
In the heart of the blackest abyss, down, 
Down, in fathoms deep crypt, where light
Does not penetrate, and the structured protective hauls,
Of men, are crushed beneath pressures massive
Weight, of the oceans deepest depth.

Tyger
Pt 1
He represents his set, with 
Every breath he draws,
He makes color his priority,
Matisse with machine gun,
Splurging Rothko’s’ vengeance 
On the blue bodies of Americas renegades.
A Blood, from Compton
The roar of stolen 
Car engines, echoes...

A Small Glimmer of Light
what is my claim to fame
a face in a crowd
no name
that stands me out from the multitude
wading aimless in this bottomless vat
searching 
for a glimmer of that somewhere light
climbing on ladder straights
that bend and break
from...

Woman What I Love
women what I love
the waves and curves
and soft linen to disguise what lies beneath
my gaze surfs, in lines
up and down from bottom to crown

the straights too
and the curly cues
like mine
and their eyes
better than heels, jewels...

Oh my god is this 1787,
Was the constitution just written today?
Because the WiFi is down,
And I don’t know what to say,

Up early one morning a few days ago,
Just couldn’t sleep I tried to figure out something I didn’t truly know.
Pondering, studying, the solution to this problem eluded me I was in dire straights.

Modern Waste

leaving behind the city concrete,
it swiftly lunged into the green expanse,
fresh air blew ,trees swayed ,
as the blue yonder and bright sun,
set the terrific backdrop to the moving,
eyes do seldom settle...

They opted to glide on inner tubes instead of in a boat.
