Lest it seems,...

a bright green field one handsome summer day,
the Duke's blue tent resplendent with its flags,

something special is happening beside you
Look beyond the valley and the hill and

Butterflies of Beauty
Hatched from an egg, larva begins gathering around massive trees;
consuming enough leaves sufficient for morphing within chrysalis.
Once this process is a success, reconfigured caterpillars nibble and wiggle their way out.
Something extraordinary happens—
Atomic metamorphosis...

Whither Blows the Wind

buried in the catacombs
They still have zombie feast needs of me

Weak Spots Xiii
Centered around ephemeral shapes,
Now—shapeless now—flailing—
Yellows, blues, oranges and reds,
Heat eating what surrounds it till it Can no more—eyes—in the fire. . .
The way life moves toward danger,
And eyes watch closely,
Growing and slackening,
Distant singing...

Oh What Fools We Are
Oh how are we such fools?
Fools who utter words we seldom mean and reckon.
Casting a blind eye,
to those that heed to words spoken.
Oh what fools are we?
That fathom from earth’s best
But become its worst.
Oh how...

Peter and I are together and we’re in a grove.
Time is our treasure, precious and dwindling.
I watch for signs of the future unfolding,
like a twitch that might be the first sign of a stroke.

Abandon
I remember so vividly, ...

Effects of a Rose
Teardrops born from
inflamed elated eyes.
Fetuses of euphoria
slips and slide down
thy cheeks for they
are genuine touch
that emblazon the
trail upon the abyss
of thy bosoms bare.
Come o thee, thy
desirous flames
and quench the
ardor of my thirst
that wanes in an

And saw several souls sequestered there.

But others were only tarrying there.
Though the sanguine souls were tall in bloom,

Oh, Death where is your ring?

Rising from the depths of despair
Begging for you specter
