Doused in depression's dangerous zone
Feeling so afraid of being left all alone
Negative thoughts like these cannot be all that...natural
No longer caught up in swish-swooshing waves of appall

In the universe of tragedy in reverse,
I spin and...

"He made a difference."

Gramps, my mother's father, 
Dave Luke -- my grandfather, 
a tall unlettered white (decidedly white) 
Louisiana man -- was born August 1888.  
He lived 87 years.  He grew under

Time echoes and resonates without language,
invests in green triumphal backdrop
below mystic blue sky,
splattered

Blossoming in yellows and spindling purples
blues and flaming orange,
fragile moments of fully fertile fractures,
flagrant erections of next generation's hope
for full coloring 
perennially emerging...

I forget thee exact hour
found me utterly beside mice elf,
matter of fact even at this moment,
yours truly doth feel mad at himself

Time echoes and resonates without language,
invests in green triumphal backdrop,
below misty blue sky,
spotted
blossomed in yellows and spindling purples
blues and flaming orange,
fragile moments of fully fertile tone
bilateral shapes and colors,
flagrant erections of next generation's timely hope

Spiritual beings blessed by a grace from on high, angelical creatures
Soaring between sunlight and twilight’s over cast of shadows, 
Hush now be still, listen children of humanity for the swooshing
Of their ivory wings ever lightly...

Heavy breathing reverberating inside my head
My helmet rattling as I shake and loosen my neck
Feet stepping into mud, deep and soggy wet
Heavy to lift out the peace from the gospel, my feet, with each step

By the time the fever set in,
The leaves had already turned,
Turned that is, into the colors,
Already there beforehand.

The bursting verdant stickiness,
Of nipple spring,
June’s coy leafy gaze,
The muscular lust of summer grazing,
When Burgundy picnics,
Turn white, thick...

Could beliefs be wrong
I've survived for too long
in a world full of conflicts,
wilting nascent innocence--
with venomous fearful experiences..

Broken dreams crawl to breathe
inflicted with harsh realities
unaware of masked conspiracies
in fiery oceans of betrayal,
now pound against my...

The night is silent,
A cool, languid breeze
blowing in from the sea,
The sluggish waves
swooshing the shore,
No soul in sight,
Nary a sound,
And, there we lie on our backs,
Bone-ass naked
on a deserted beach
looking up at the night sky
awashed...

Celtic Sun
Celtic sun, one such wonder, 
Sending her rays unto the woods, 
Celtic sun spun her golden silk, 
Oh, such beauty on kiln dried land. 

In this mystic cool Spring air, 
Soft wind blowing everywhere,...

I feel like a lot of the time...most of the time now.
Like there's nothing to be done.
Not nothing for you. Or for her.
(Maybe for her)
But for the key.
A key for the hands that turn.
(But they...

With Her breath enhancing the coolness of the air
While colorful leaves are turning the trees
Wildlife looking to burrow in pairs
Or preparing to flee to a warmer breeze.

Getting darker with the day's end sooner
Scurrying to grasp...

I’m perched upon my rock
Up above the full high tide.
The water as calm as I’ve ever seen it
With shades of blue and mirror reflections, 
Stormy dark clouds hanging over the hills 
Across from me on...

Amidst the “pitter-patter” of diamond rain droplets,
As though tearing the soft womb of the dark sky like rockets,
Lightning “crackled”! As though electrified, thunder “rumbled”!
Will my hopes, like brim-filling drops from a pot, get tumbled?

I am...

There was a penguin named Billy
Who had dreams which all the others found silly.
Poor Billy caused a lot of tension
Because there were things he needed to mention
No one listened to Billy.
While all the raft were...

Wild Blue Land

Such wind rushed by nearly blowing me to the side;
filling my vision so wide, wide dotted with white puffs, 
rolling clumps,  or whispy streaks of froth;
gliding slyly in the ocean of an...

I was in jungle,
Deep woods with plenty of dense green,
A meandering river flowed through the middle,
And there was a rocky terrain well caved on its west bound,
The pathways were skewed and well spread,
Made only of...

Where Has All The Beauty Gone?

There is no time like the now times,
The ever-present blood-swooshing times.
Time again to surrender as a smitten lover surrenders,
To the never-ending rhapsodies of erotic impulses,
Which exhale as a listless leviathan...

Always drip the sauce delicately over a tiger barm. Creases are crevasses. Don't look up or down then. Falling is not a fail or a cross. It is purely the pulling of carts over many...

A drop of sunshine broadens the ground and shines
like a coal upon the blazing street. And I am enjoying
the last of the wine which tastes as good as the
tree bark shoved into my heart.
