Inspired by the painting "Highland Lassie" (1871) by Thomas Faed.

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

Skinwalker

"Skinwalker"


That one’s mind 
is like a scene from Chagall
dreams flow like blood bleeds
across the cortex page curtain call
an audience with the silent speakeasy 
cerebellum with its swift
matter-of-factness 
logically guides the fingers 
to dance across keys...

Nears the time of final battle
In the halls of high Valhalla

In the forest crows the rooster 
In the sky the sun does darken
In the cave...

Out of the Darkness

Between grains of ancient fine sand
desert roses hidden from sight—
Colourful, exquisitely fanned.
They formed in darkness; pressure shaped.
Each perfect corolla agape
in floral whorl of sharp crescents;
fluorescent and phosphorescent.   
 
Against injustices they railed—
within shed...

Why So


As young children, we were happy
but as adults, most of us not.
why so? Cause ideas what's thought
as right, differs -none takes gladly.

Adult unhappiness derives
from rigidity as stuck in
own ways though always wish to win
often leads...

A Wink


Tell me truth today, I won't flinch.

I've noticed your smile with a wink;
Yes, your gesture made me to think;
Should I not take it as infringe?

I don't know, if I'm little slow.
Is it an emotional binge?
Can't...

Wise Sage guides, learn to live in the present
moment is best way of living; should we
then pretend past has nothing more to say;
does mind not steer, impact life in some way?

Crying soft, a form is moving forward
Now she walks through mist, 'tween shadows seething

Past the ancient walls she pushes onward
Mid the shrouded stones she pours her sorrow
Crying soft,...

The Vamp

Cunning were her noxious machinations,
Choosing those who never stood a chance.
Masterful projecting of temptations,
Brilliant timing, her alluring glance.

Naive innocence alerted weakness.
Perfect prey, a rug beneath her feet.
Wary of her charm, he played to meekness.
Vamps are...

Krishna Has An Ink Effect In Our Greater Supplication These Days

Krishna has an ink effect in our greater supplication, these days!
