The One In the Lavender DressShe looked peaceful in her lavender dress-
as I suppose she was. Eyes closed as if lost
in childhood dreams, small hands folded across her chest.
Her glasses resting beside her auburn strands,
lips pleading for color, her face...

A Lone Man’s PlightBeneath the churning skies and wrathful sea,
A lone man wails into swirling agony.
Each crashing wave, a relentless assault,
Mirroring the chaos of his inner tumult.
Beneath tempestuous heavens, alone he fights,
His vessel, both refuge and dungeon,...

Gothic NightsMy chamber teems with tensions, taut, that logic can’t withstand,
fragmenting mental masonry with memories unplanned,
as bitter tears from hazel eyes reduce the stone to sand.
Dim shadows cast by candles flit across the haunted room,
beleaguer apparitions,...

Space MermaidsThe elliptical sea, ageless, timeless without fathoms depth
Of the eternal degree, its finite waves ushering against the
Everlasting shore of tranquility’s rush, a liquid vacuum of inner
Special waves, crashing against the coral rife of life itself.

Time's PolarityTime's natural spaces,
a universe of footprints in remembered places.
Need kicks me in the ass
and head.
Trauma iafterflows,
undertows,
crashing carnage
with runaway horsepower.
Want is a branching step,
coincidentally left-producing and right-consuming
memory footprints on Earth's beach of time,

Wolves of the DeepAll is still in deceptions abyss,
Beneath fathoms deep, aquatic,
Wolves are on the hunt.
Stealth predators unseen, unheard,
Hanging on the fringe of detections,
Outer limits.
In plain black and white,
Behold a deadly beauty personified,
Intelligence next step in evolution.
These devils...

Sands of SolitudeSilent streams swirl silver shadows deep
Where sorrow's sediment settles, secrets keep
Forgotten fragments of a fractured past
Echoes of emotions that will forever last
Fleeting fingers of fate fan out the sand
As fragile fortunes falter, lost in the...

People so often don't listen
They don't know how to communicate
Love and misunderstandings
Create complications and undertows
Words and silence cause waters
Deep, dangerous and mystical
We need to choose them with care
Lest we drown before we float
Sometimes...

OhspiritCome, spirit, entice and dance with me
Let me embrace, be embraced by your look
And share your untold tales
Of seduction, conquest and decapitation,
For in your glitzy world
Shadows, bad omens
And eeriness all protrude
Oh, spirits, dance with...

separating him from where and who
they thought he should want to be.
Though he was adrift in the currents

Thin fibers rise to weave a dream of pure new white ...

No Anchor For RancorNo Anchor for Rancor
Wounded the ship of my soul,
With tattered sails,
Heels up in malevolence,
Venom puffs out the jib
In leeward grudges of tactless spite
On a pointless reach
Heading up into retaliation.
Heart hardened sends out a...

from my perch, on the cliff above .
The incoming storm, hovers close by,
I am watching battering waves, smash
the rugged coastline shore below.

Hear the rushing floods – no smooth waters find –
Crumbling day light eludes vesper’s sleep.
Solitude’s still waters boil – restless energy -

whilst voices turned hazy
wiping out equilibrium
midst broiling sun's psyche

intermingle with
childhood dreams of
days long past.
Looking back on
the canon of Time
my dance with youth
filled my heart with
happiness
enveloped by the love
of a caring father and mother.
You danced alongside me
for a time
