Pi - Inspired By the Movie
THREE year olds know about circles. They play
ring around the rosy and here we go round
the mulberry bush. And if one should say
that in reality nowhere is found
a perfect circle, they either don’t hear
or...

Zealots and Evangelists
Within sleepy sheep folds
of retributive divine justice
postponed til kingdom comes
and diva queens go
to hell where we sinfully belong
like all unfaithful Negroes
refusing to shuck and jive
custody of 20/20 eyes
and to disconnect bicameral ears,
Discovering within these...

You plot and scheme but things
don't always fall into plan,
I know now what most men might

but all my knowledge of philosophy
cannot spare,
the rare yet paralyzing storm of
despair,

Whisper of Conscience
Whisper of Conscience
Because of the canticle of everlasting love
Like a sunlit lyric sung upon a path
Life’s essence sheds freckles of pacing anxiety
That echo through catacombs of consternation
In a whisper of untranslated dots of braille.

For the realization of dear dreams born in sleep
And cessation of wickedness in this...

The Artful Armageddon
Armageddon
These here sacred walls are graffiti on the mind,
Designed to make us blind.
A lie artfully etched on both sides of a crooked sky.
Shame, and guilt, that is how a religion...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday’s Wishes
Yesterday’s wishes never grow stale,
Immortal dream walkers glint in platinum.
Fresh hope with wings, like moonbeams in a mason jar,
Nudges wrinkled wishing stars
To capture a prayer implored on the first star,
Slipping through starlight...

To have left the world
Without making it a better
Place for ourselves and
Our animal friends,
What kind of a life was that?

To have left the world
With family and friends

Solstice Night
So now there falls the longest dark,
The hours of stars and cold
That in their icy silence reign
Above a world full dropped to rest..
The winds carry off another year
As the newborn next comes stealing in.

I Dance With Shadows - Yclept Sonnet
When dappled shadows flit through darkened backstreets,
and whispers rendezvous with one another,
the usual bright spirits take a backseat.
They nurture remnants of rebounds which smother.
When cadence of sweet trilling of dawn chorus
unwelcome thief: give...

Satchel of Ordinaries
I sat quietly staring out the porthole window
As we were passing over a village in the low hills
A cumulus cloud casting over its ominous shadow
Far below in the silence of the engine’s shrills,

Overgrown With Vines
Overgrown With Vines
Three meatless, boney, fingers clawed
at the hard dirt, glistened in the emptiness,
cursed the damnation of the full moons lie.

a sharp metal edge the instrument of both.

I think I've got to take a little time today,
A little moment to ponder on few issues,

In case I need it when my heart is turning cold.

Know Thyself
Know thyself
Confusing – maybe?
The reality - we are all we’ll ever have
Personal awareness is of utmost importance - indeed
Evolutionary dialectical battle
Vociferous the subconscious mind
Perpetual synaptic reactions
Unexamined – troubled - unkind
Awareness precedes Transformation
