(Dedication: For Ann)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The tale now mints: a hero hears
A call that tints, a choice appears.


It cannot be, this journey quest
To cross the seas, to face the test.


Denial comes brisk, no hero here
To dare grave risk,...

It is the magic held within the darkness, the whispering of the night winds,
Echoing through haunted graveyards, cast are thus ancient spells, illuminated
Beneath the harvest full moon, in this eerie landscape the underworld is 
Released,...

In this wide world riddled with killers and tricksters I have gone to places I never should have been
And now it’s my turn to take them.
A new kind of hero started below zero now higher...

This day is hot and bright and  fills my weary eyes,
and while sleep is gone it lies in wait.
The years have gone and the weeds have come. 
The dandelions are hard hot yellow in...

You dont need no friends
all they will do is hurt you
let them all go, why hold them up?
the family are so far behind,
they will never understand
we are so alone, in this life,
women want what you...

Of Calydorn he speaks each night while drinking bitter ale. 
Of battles won and battles lost out on the planes of Veil. 
His own armorment of sword and shield, leather and chainmail. 
The mighty stead...

Bible students know what it means; the sign of the times.
Hurricanes, earthquakes, famine, droughts, pestilence, in order it’s Spiritually Divine.
Our Father has begun His timetable; He’s telling us Christians to pay attention.
Humanities ways are being...

So, what now, we bow down and deeply appreciate
a few random lines scribbled down in haste
what a waste of our time, you expect praise and cheer

Senor's wealth management...
battered pinata like

Yours truly courtesy servitude
tethered existence suffers neck
brunt of yoke
fiscal recklessness got me woke
within cosmic schema, 
a mere infinitesimal speck.

Insolvent crisis principally bespoke
interestingly enough
caught me off balance
sudden pennilessness
(dollar short/ day late dada)

Glimpses of myself in a different time..
Recurring thoughts occupying my mind..
Visions of lush greenery landscapes
I gaze upon the deep blue sky
I caught a glimpse of myself..
My alternate self..

Unique surroundings 
Fascinating experiences..
Colors illuminating so perfectly vivid
Bright...

As Christians we see the signs, if you will, Heavenly signs.
To not see these things is really a Spiritual crime.
As carnal men since Adam we continue to transgress.
Even being freed from Pharoah we have certainly...

DEAD DANCE
The chatoyant sky shimmered like abalone
As they gathered around the Infinity Stone.
Calling the spirits of place the master chants,

Lost a wanderer
Among the flowers on the shore
The blossoms she stopped to adore

Found a pup
Laying still among the weeds
Breathless the wanderer mourned indeed

Thought alone but there was a stir among the reeds
Curiously the ghostly specter...

Cattle trains are litter trucks. Often noisy and overheated with the balmy sweat oozing from even the tidiest of blazers. Business break time then. All swap. All buy. Bring and buy. Before bells and buzzer....

Call me the dreamer of dreams. 
I am the one that reaches for the highest of heights.
I use the clouds as a helpful step to rest my feet as I reach. 
Stretching my arms up...

I tantalize your tantalizers, I am pretty and coy.
You cannot resist me, because my innocence reels you in, boy.
Others cannot warn you, for they also think I am sweet.
Shy, unassuming, a porcelain doll with a...

Just about a mile outside pyrite town
there's black powder mountain, forever looking down.
It has a grizzly disposition and a couple veins of mean
lightning licks the summit at every opportunity.

Some went up to tame it and...

From the first instant
my eyes laid bare 
circled and squared
at the feet
of a Vitruvian man,
the one uniqueness
in my possession,
I was lust to your loins


as images permeated
and shivered my thighs,
I felt a rising veracity
to savour the...

Dandelions, babies crying
walking in the woods,
astronomy, philosophy
chickadees and childhood.

Speckled trout, (a technical knock-out)
strawberries red and sweet,
winter, spring, summer, fall
Butterfinger and little "Twinkie" treats.

Dragon flies, questions why
There’s anything at all,
Making mistakes baking cup cakes
Cumulous clouds and...

Vibrant vigorous vexing virginal vampire name of Amanda Lou 
Could transmogrify, materialize, reincarnate and shapeshift too.
Other trick-or-treaters would get a shimmery, shivery, shocking shock
When she changed from a vamp to an imp to a fairy...

The Cosmos

To stare across the galaxy with telescope and fervent love
The gaseous dusty stars above, a constellation cluster reigns

A pulsar radiates two beams, a lighthouse flicker on both sides
Magnetic force that also spins around black...
