Blanches oeuvres ouvertes
résident dans les jours
la surface du banc de travail est noire
les géraniums-lierres
les fougères et les adragans
accumulent leurs oeuvres et jours:

The Twins, Part 1
In the dark of night a wind took hold,
With powers charged to shake the sky,
By moody swings of gods up high,
Their breath alone enraged and bold.
In the dark of night history spoke,
Of a world alive...

Fraudulent
"Fraudulent"
A writer writes of people
walking lonely dark streets
begging for bread, shelter and cold without all
like he’s been there
trudging up and downhill knocking on doors
that judgmentally remain closed after glimpsed twigging -
a monumental fail,...

The External World of The Internal
“The External World of the Internal”
when the Internal
finally woke up,
it was like all the words
in that book, flew at It
like flaming arrows,
an external barage, a tale,
of trading 10 for 50,

Up and About, Feeling Empty
I feel rather empty…
Flushed, confused, free me?
I’m feeling kinda dirty
To be honest, I’m fake happy
Wearing a smile like the rest of us
But, there’s a million rivers and fires between us
So, don’t throw me under the...

Robinson Crusoe
I killed my friend,
I never wanted,
Do not see me cruel,
I did it for love.
We both ran naked
Under this influential shower.
No one uncoupled his lips
Against this faint madness,
We were indebted,
Either had to earn the prize.
It was...

The Unlit Flame At Blue Feather's Cross Roads
"The Unlit Flame at Blue Feather’s Cross Roads"
Words these days are seldom Red
like drops of lifeless blood falling cold on a hot frying pan,
sentences are scattered, stuck in Go Nowhereland,
semi-solid, immovable coagulating gelatinous, turning dark...

Wellington Gate
His walk into town would prove fateful that day,
As his mind wandered idly while finding his way.
His footsteps were brisk like fall chill in the air,
Past Wellington Gate, south of Denby town square.
He paused for...

Remedy of Relief
You, alone, can be the cure to my grief
The guilt that overflows and then gives birth to mirthwhile relief

Tyranny Counts the Ballots
“Never forget

Your Victory Shout Hushed
How it feels to be in my shoes,
Humming softly the sacred blues
Of yesterday's tomorrow
And its saturated sorrow
Because it's okay to cry your heart out
When it shatters into shards of drastic doubt
You know what...

Letter to Sam Hunt
Dear Sam, hello it’s me, don’t fret
old friend whom I have never met.

Love My Way
"Love My Way"
Ghosts read the walls like braille in this place

it romances them away from the let-it-be moments
on repeat heavenly tortured in the evermore never-give-up

The Bipolar Blues
I'm not strong
Cuz I don't belong
I long
To be on your tongue
And on your mind, swinging along
All alone, all along or maybe I'm the one in the wrong
Oooooh oooooh ooooh

Silent thoughts
Candles burning brightly bring visions to my eyes.
Shadows dancing in the corners give this room a supernatural vibe.
As I sit here under the covers, all fears are held below;
