Ós rud é go ndearnadh tú a chaitheamh.

The tears well up, and scarce could she not moan
When father, brother, husband, all have died.
She now has no possessions, neither home,
But travels to a distant, unknown land:

Tromps a lonely figure on the Highland roads;
Peerin' from the Highdown, breezin' through the...

 The stranger treads the sidewalk, 
Walking his happy-go-lucky canine
Solitude is preserved in him…

"Forbidden"

the knowledge 
acquired 
from the story
I’ve lived 
is forbidden
to be written

I listen to 
their voices
carried in the 
rustling leaves 
the whispering 
of ghosts behind me

hushing me
I haunt them

the rain transports
me as if it is music

For His water, soil, and sun
Only the...

"Smoke Signals"




Her wet lips
long slender fingers
flipped the lit cigarette
3 
seconds 
it glowed
inhaled deep, 
hard
and real slow
crushed under
Vermillion 
manolo blahnik 
killer, 
Capital K
long bare legs in
deadly brutal

Her last kiss
tasted of Manuka

The taste of bile treads my thoughts,
Unwillingly my feet must now follow,
Source of inspiration guide,
Restore the signal fires now long lost,
Set beyond the temporal,
A path impassable by mortals,
The stairs of separation, 
I must recount lest...

Winds of change 
are fanning the flames

The flames of misdirection, 
the winds giving chase

Horned cheering section.) 
Drones of the BlackRock, riders in holdings...
