Once upon a silent summer eve, 
as fine vermilion lines, 
between bleeding moonlight, 
swiftly sailed across
  my darkness and I, 
sakura springs sang 
 dulcet melodies of 
  a deathless devotion, 
incised within...

I'm drowning.
When I breath in, my lungs yell in complaint as the thick, unbreathable air floods them,
They try to reject it but no matter what happens, I'm still left breathless.
Depression is a burden I have...

If looks and money are what your about
your not getting very far with me
If you believe we use sattelites in space to watch television
you have to be kidding me

One happy victom

We've become so numb to 
everything around us
We see four wall
Windows and doors.

We hear phones
And conversations

We watch the clock 
Like it's the only thing in the 
world

The sun rises and sets
Without a thought in mind

1..A rusty door-nail leaks a drying crust.
2..The taint of copper pennies.
3.Salt licking the scars of the unhealed.
4..A sunset burning dry corn.
5.Eyes bruised by anger.
6.Lips cut by stinging words.
7.Money burning holes in red letter days.
8.A fledglings...

After "Being a Person" by William Stafford

“suddenly this dream you are having matches
everyone’s dream, and the result is the world” 
the synchronicity, perfect 
beating like a heart in a box
the ticking of a metronome 
swing,...

Parents beating their own children 
Husbands beating their wives 
Mother-in-law and sister-in-law torturing daughter-in-law
Where have our emotions gone?

Rich hoarding lot of money
Not ready to give even a penny to hungry 
Watching others suffering still not...

How easily you return,
Within this mind's hindsight,
Never knowing how the swelling,
Gaping hole of your absence,
Weighs me down heavily,
With the confusion of your presence
In my dreams...

I crave substance,
Though well be my visions and tastes,
Vibrant...real be this...

When ceilings were cast on dreams
air thickened, swelling lungs 
with unbreathable mediocrity

pen is clutched
in reluctance of dim witted judgement,
small minded skewed views,
all pushing towards 
Oprah Book Club fame
under a midwestern bubble.
That trophy would shine 
like...

Cold air breeze flowing over the shore, as an lifesaver floats on the glistening water illuminated by the sun, most memorable during the day as many above have fun

Frightened of the ferocious sea-beings, admiring the...

Having been so long untouched,
I’d become a child beyond touch
and unclean.

So, when suffocatingly
roused from a nightmare of death
to unbreathable silence
in an oxygen tent, I cried

afraid of dying alone.

From somewhere

You asked me for a poem today.
I raised the roof of my skull 
like the hood of a jalopy,
I replaced the sparkplugs and 
Revved my six cylinders, smoking 
Choking an unbreathable cloud, 
My tarnished shroud.

You...

O! devastating devil,
you poured poison in the
garden of angels.
Because of you the water of the river darkened.
Angels surrendered to your witchcraft, 
Say why every paths of men made you throned?

You, the liable ominous, standing behind...
