A Lantern Made of Suicide Notes: Suicide by Metaphors
I. The Hour of Approach
The poem I was writing refused to end—
it kept writing me.
Blood didn't ink these lines—
the ink bled me.
Each stanza a hidden-hematoma
across...

Up there! On the Black Hills Mountain, 1

Unadorned in a war bonnet, with his hair flowing in the wind,

Deliberate Shades of Insanity
It is simple to laugh
at this sinister comedy,
ablaze with maddening duality.
A true scene of blood-thick bonds,
breaking never, but
somehow,
tightening, like a noose
around the throat of the last
living,
thinking organism,
ascending beyond basic self judgment,
embracing those strange strings
bound to...

Lightning Flashes
Mighty mountain peaks high
in dark clouds are cloaked
lights flash within them
distant rumblings are heard
and I stand in valley low
in the calm of spring day
gentle light on me softly falls
a soft kiss of coming warmth
and my...

A Lion Looms Listless
A cold lion roams, doctrinaire and sterile,
The expanse of Africa offers him no sanctuary, the Saringehti no salvation,
He can only smell the scent of his pride now, his cubs shun him,
Repelled by needless roars, the...

Sudden Storm
Weeks of hot days endlessly parading across the desert
Lulled me into a coma believing the weather would stay that way forever
Mid afternoon I stepped outside to go to the post office
Something was different
Thunder boomed and...

Opinionated- and Its Eyes--
Opinionated- And It’s Eyes---
I awoke and flung my mind soul in the heaven
What could there be more purely seven?
'It's that lordship,' I muttered;
And am I the nonbeliever never okaying;
I crave the divine, deponent denominationalism Why?

A Stranger and a Friend
A shadow, nay, sullen thunderhead
inducing a deluge of emotions
moved across thousands of darkened souls
Freaks, stoners
shy, smart
geeks and loners
outcasts with dreams and compassion in their heart
Strangers like me
To us, you were a friend
we live...

Jordie Spotting
He passes through the room like a bubble in champagne, unattached, teflon coated, and somehow freer than the rest of us. “Jordies here,” Leong says in an excited whisper.
“Yeah,” I sigh, adjusting my mask, “saw...

Future Shock
The future seems so hard at times
Although it’s answered prayer
Unfolding futures
Offer no previews,
Are innately mysterious
Have their own rhythm and perfume,
Always leave us guessing.
The future is like a developing cloud
That can build into a thunderhead
Complete with...

Unsung Heroes
What would Westerns be without Horses
Would our heroes be as well known
Without their equine companions
They’d chase the bad guys on their own.
Roy would be lost without Trigger
And Gene without Champion - no way
Hoppy relied upon...

Thunderstorm
Thunderstorm
a midnight lightning
My monsoon, I could not awaken
thunder, I could not forsaken
Thundery tintinnabulation tinkling
A sudden, sonic boom
The thundery thunderhead thundering
And the thunderstorms never stewing
I was thundering
Meteoroid's that is wandering
a cloudburst and yes it hums
And that...

The Oak In the Acorn
the acorn in the oak
bark bone fingers crusted brown
waving sinew, shedding sky
tap root summon’d deeply down
sighs like summer sound in rain
building up then down the shade
sunlight filters dappled beams
stormwinds wild up the glade
growth rings tell...

Junipers, When I Was Young
Summer came crashing down like a thunderhead
Hordes of children released from their brick prisons
My young eyes watched out the passenger window
Our yard, brown spots and all, I loved it
The way we ran,...

Sandy
Blasting through the night
Blaze to morn
"Hey there Thunderhead!
Where you going with that storm?"
"To crazy eights!
And jesters wild
I’ll just be gone a while
Or more"
A frenzy in her mind
Fixed rage to rhyme
Don’t waste my time!
She says for...

blinding, deafening,

Yearning
An impossible love, too gentle to touch
A night-blossoming jewel, a rose-golden blush
A yearning surpassing the passions of man
A chasm of longing too deadly to span
Songs made of laughter, poems of tears
An echo remaining from previous...

High Summer
Thunder growled and prowled the leaden sky,
no sign of birds in trees, no bees nor butterfly.
High summer and the thrumming of rain on leaf,
the catatonic stillness and quietude only brief.
A crackle of jagged light excites...

All of us hope he would never do it again.

Sleeping Giant
Dusk slays the day
Dawn takes sin away
Lunar waves
Wash and fade
With the tide
Clouded thunderhead
Disgruntled mountain
Surging typhoon
Volcanic fountain
Storming hand
Gathers night
Acting on plan
Disease, famine
We’ve awakened
A sleeping demon
With each branch we break
Another life he takes
Fire destroys
What he...
