Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 11
In a sudden nodding shift,
I was lifted into the air by the hard wings of the Devil
His putrid stench waking me from what seemed all dream
And upon a balcony of singed vine and blackened soot,
He...

TODAY MY MATE SAVES MY DAY...
From spiraling into unconstructive decay,
Plugging my volcano of negative gossip & hearsay,
Planting productive advice to direct my way,
Removes pokey cacti from under my feet,...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 7
I…breathe again…
Meditating on flowers of my pasture, plucked with my eyes,
Resting…open, like buds blooming, and resting…
“Take me…” he said weakly, so softly in my ear…
I greeted the demon with the warmth in my eyes,
Upon...

Monster Poem
[They lived in terror. A dark cloud seeping inside souls tearing love

Fell to drugs....

Poverty
In the bleak night, ‘pon lonely street of Capitol Bye Pass,
Mine stomach’s growl, louder than thunder’s clash,
Mine lips, pink and cracked like parched earth’s skin,
I lift mine gaze, pleading to the heavens for a drop...

Pea shaped enemy
When folks are young, they may feel blessed
But I coped with bullies, life felt stressed,
I started eating a lot, food always there
In theory a good thing, in my case a snare,
I ate whole...

Weather Forecast
The New Year has come wafting on the wings of winter
The high latitudinal areas of the northern hemisphere
Would be in the grip of frequent snowstorms severe
Throwing life in desolate isolation and out of gear.
The cold...

Immortality
We were miserable and exhausted by the rife.
We leave the severe planet to fight for itself.
Be patient, though! We admit in another life.
Will toss the earth; however, we will not strife.
We...

I Live By Your Shadow
IF I could make maize grow in a desert
Then that power I possess by your will,
That which can make static air become wind,
That which can cause trees swing side by side.

My Dying Wish
Walkin around head down
Praying I'll soon be casket bed bound
Whether it's from a gun when it spreads rounds
Or catch a disease that causes me to shed
pounds
And I pass away alone no tear drop sounds
Come to...

Milk Spill
Under inexorable gravity’s pull,
galaxies often move toward one another.
Closer and closer they come to each other,
till astronomic smashups happen in full.
For no less than two of them, possibly three,
such a scenario has been predicted,
as computer...

The Monster
Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant, but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property. I was, besides, endued with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I...

I do not know?
The Temptress of the Cliff
The heaven's lanterns she commands,
The harmony of ocean's harp.
Her moonlit shadow firmly stands,
And merges at the hem of scarp.
As I approach, afraid to speak,
Her illustration disappears.
Alone I brave the mountain peak,
Her cosmic voice still in...

Mine Deplorable Shenanigans Trumped
I don got nothing but terrible
reviews bruited about
dip pressing field day

trumpeted execrable lout,
a garden variety baby
boomer father without doubt,
his own shameful paternal
shenanigans cavalierly he did flout
dwarfed teapot dome scandal,

Too Close To The Edge
I walked the garden path holding all the intimate hands,
nurtured in the impermanent world the hope of durability
of me loved and belonged, and me owning and retaining.
Times changed, didn’t know why storm of dismay...

The Makeover
BLOOD LUST 06/25/2013
What sinister secrets
lurk within my mind,
What raging storms
grip my heart,
What malicious maelstroms
swirl in my eyes,
What demonic forces
torment my soul...
You don't wanna know!
It will only entice you
in its dreadful dragnet
And drag you through

A Letter To the Friend Written On the Passing Cloud

another day has passed

the moon will probably soon rise from the lake east,

All Reflection Therein

What to think on this day’s rise
to summer’s praise and spring’s goodbyes,
wish upon one’s life and sigh

Distort My Faith
This candle doesn’t burn as well as the others
It’s smell is sharp and sweet but the light is delicate

Away
dying until another day
