,It's like some long lost fairy tale 
That's handed down through time
But couldn't be, as you will see
For this strange tale is mine.

I chose to take a country road 
I do from time to time

Beautiful Africa

Africa, 

In this tranquil spectre of time, 

imagination tickled,

Tell, 

I will tell of the treasures of a people, 

Africa on my mind, 

The blessed Land of the brown Chocolatey pigment,

the brave unbroken cast,
 
myriads of...

Green Spyder

When I first saw it
	in the dark corner there
where none would see it
	hidden away from sight

dark green was its color
	in the darkness hard to see
with few bright glitters
	catching the light

smooth flowing curves it had
	without harsh...

My sister Annick fixed me, locked me in, with cold, blue eyes as she sat down slowly next to me at the table. “I’m a surgeon,” she said, not quite casually, “a board certified surgeon.”

Untitled

Darkness looms, even in the stariest of night. 
Fears come forth attacking those with sight.

Cling

The sharp knife of simplicity 
cut a transverse incision through my scalp.
The hands of hope gutted out my psyche,
deconstructed my mind,
and organized it into a coherent tumor
that fills the gap once deep in my brain....

The Poisoned Bottle

The Wuhan experiment concealed,
The cunning crafts devised,
Myriad of ignorant mass their targets,
An agenda unmasked, 
Polluted atmosphere 
Forged idea of a prepared viceroy.
"Mask up"
"Six feet"
"isolate"
Inauguration of the control game.
People's servants turned tyrants, 
Ignorant bunch of scallywags...

A Poem Unlived

A poem unlived

sustenance our words

let the body digest with heartfelt
regurgitation – a poem unlived

The Gift of Elevation

It is a lonely existence,
which came with this thing I desired
and was given freely
I wanted to be lifted above
the ordinary and mundane plane of reality
This gift, which was given to me free,
spiritually elevated me
Now the...

Confronting Shadows- POTD

On a dusky evening long time ago,
When shadows huddled at every corner, 
When rain had gone and birds had roosted,
You held me close and whispered in my ear;

“In your eyes I see, the blue of...

The road leads to old windmill 
Soul like grain is processed by the mill
The very presence of the mill
Surreal will make you feel

Beautiful and bizarre crystal forms create waves...

Stillness of Emotion

Quasar pulse time moves 
at the pause ratio of 
radioactive query change

A long anticipated moment of attraction
did quicky supernova boom, 
then it slowly did mushroom
into repellant cloudy, doubtful affection
 
Heartbeat fears
perceptually travel 
on quantum tick-tock...

To which image should we cling?

Line of inquiry: To which image should we cling?

Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew...

Cakes Got a Beef

When a student is on the verge

there always comes a flashpoint of conflict
Giving way to superior intellect

The elder acquiescing to the younger

Beyond this huge continent
where seas separate adored faces
and smiles smeared with sadness,
I left what was a living part of me;
spring meadows that seemed prairies 
with wildflowers giving more beauty 
to a sunset not wanting to...

A large ship will sail
Next to it swims blue whale
After finishing work on the rail
Seamen sing ballads each a different tale

The mountains on the island stretch to the sky
Towards them great eagle will fly

Maybe It Is Death

A different reality 
The coming Doom.
A realm between what is known and unseen
