Revolving Rivers

In backyards of my history
lies a tidal river
of ebb and flow revolutions.

These revolutions are normally no-news evolutions

diastatic and polyphonic purest capital boundary roots
for future's river flow investment
out-flowing down
from...

Aging Ii

Age is a verb for opening the door
Into a judgement of the satisfaction
You’ve found in life, by its opportunities
Beckoning betterment and relationship

I agree that perhaps we could’ve loved more
But you find community in your elderly...

Diamond Made


I’m carbon-based,
Resurrection cornerstone foundation laid
Diamond made

These obsidian eyes
sardius shine ...
agate Illuminating
my igneous bright coal face

With volcanic intensity,

Compassion's Confinement

Compassion sings in velvet vibrato violin strokes, thrumming upon
an ivory frame suffused in dulcimer tones of need.

the borders of empathy, binding the reach of the heart.

The Voyage of Life--Youth

Ruffling gold blooms and leaves, hue dimmed by time
A gilded frame holding a slice of life’s history
I’m drawn into the younger man, the vision sublime
Sailing stolidly upstream towards his destiny

A castle in the sky, all...

Soupercilious


My Favorite Things comes to mind...


a random assortment, a jumble of words
a quotient of portions, quotidian served
quixotic strivings of the great deca-dense
obscured in meaning, eschewing all sense

visions and nightmares and hallucinations
erudite arguments, odd fascinations
old geezers...

in songs where justice does prevail
where the stories told
those causes the judges never...

I should have said this on that fateful 9th of December

And failure to say it has dealt my heart...

Father's Lullaby

O child of stone, outcast, alone,
succumbing to desire.
Inside your chest, you’re sorely pressed,
assailed by a liar.

the lost, untethered heart.
Though it deceives, it silent grieves
the time it spends apart.

When realized,...
