I look past all the critics who claim," Your not good enough to be a poet".
Put my thinking cap on...

"Courting the Sublime Significance of Nothingness"



The blue lines ripple like waves
to the right side of the page
vacantly calm 

from the shallow depths 
of the ponderous pond
the words, fast black fins, break the wake surfacing

mute reviews...

Thomas Hardy the Poet, spoke with me last night,
Speaking of his thoughts, as I sat in bed upright,
Though twas in a dream, I never thought it strange,
That we enjoyed a moment for literary exchange.

What is this world really about?

I can listen to the President and still not understand a word out of his mouth,

Is he for the American people or is he only in office to institute wars,

He...

Ring the bells, beat the drums, and sound the horns,

Evil has been conqueror and a lost soul have became reborn,

My sunshine of light was slowly slipping away,

But I buckled down harder and bow to my...

"The Psychopomp’s Embrace" 

No judgement 
from the fallen 

unseen angels 
credited 
with scores to 
safely harbour 
lost passing ships 
that crush souls 
in dark night
ferrying love 
the precious token
of graces sorely paid, 
the return, a...

… Oh, Why Do We Believe ? …
… Because Real Legends, Never Leave
A Mistaken Myth, May Be Reality
Or Was It Just A Folklore Legacy

Is A Pure Promise, A Prophecy ? …

Re-sound the aura of Holy you
In war or peace your tryst is true.
Through misplaced desire and loud falsehoods cry;
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky.

Let come your Holy fire in heat white pale
Though hindrance...

The girl sat up at night
a mountain of tissues by her side 
trying to wipe away the memory of him
All the happy memories
going through her head
"What did i do wrong?"
She yelled
A mixture of anger
and sadness

I thought it was bad enough
when you took your people’s guns,
leaving them unable to defend
themselves or anyone,
making them incapable of
resisting evil’s sway,
leaving them adrift and helpless,
it is the tyrant’s way.
But now I see it’s even...

I often wonder who I am,

Born a little boy but raised to a man,

Many obstacles impeded my way,

However, my faith in the Lord leads me to pray.

 

Dear Lord, did you hear me as a...

The seven sisters’ supernal sight
was by sailors stellarly prized
in legendary dove-likened flight,
catasterism immortalized.

As mythical frieze empyreal
they appear in stargazers’ view
of the Pleiades ethereal 
fleeing in misty byways blue.

They’ve lent the cosmos fabled luster
ever since by...

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!

Ulysses by Lord Tennyson

When poet Tennyson was very young,
He was a handsome tiny son, 
Who loved playing tennis under the sun.

When in his teens,
Tennyson excelled at his studies 
So much so that he won the admiration of

From the weight numbers 7.7 lbs., she was born to be queen.
She was daddy's girl and mother's pearl, a gift to the world.

...Poe brought us detectives on the page,
and creepy tales that defy age,
Melville’s whale, in fine fashion,
taught us the danger of obsession.
Twain brought humor and jumping frogs,
dialect, humor, and raft logs,
while Hawthorne peered into the soul

Assailed upon all sides; trapped, like a rat without his cheese.
Though I wore quite fancy shoes, there were no socks upon my feet,
When I fought the heathens and, met defeat, at the Pillar Of Muhamete.

staring at us
all were American made

As Sol arises, greets the morn
the soon test taker wails,
