Rites and Relics
A midnight shriek or sudden bang
Disrupts the thread of tales,
Entangled in unconscious mind
With sounds of lashing flails.
Wherefrom it comes, whither it goes?
I threw my eyes up there,
The eerie void soon called me up
To trudge down...

Come, You: the Death Poem of Rainer Maria Rilke
Come, You
by Rainer Maria Rilke
translation by Michael R. Burch
Come, you—the last one I acknowledge; return—
incurable pain searing this physical mesh.
As I burned in the spirit once, so now I burn
with you; meanwhile, you consume my...

Rainer Maria Rilke Translation: Love Song
Liebes-Lied (“Love Song”)
by Rainer Maria Rilke

How can I withhold my soul so that it doesn’t touch yours?
How can I lift mine gently to higher things, alone?
Oh, I would gladly find...

Poem By Chandler Fisher Theseus and the Minitaur
As the dusk approaches, with a fusk grunt on his face,
He realizes he has to do what's right;
To save his people from the treacherous minotaur maze,
To risk his life for people in vain.
As the sail...

The Natural and the Spirit
This imprisonment of clay,
this putrid jarred tint subjected to time's defeat,
this cankered vile contagion.
tossed to and fro as on a sea with unrelenting anchorage of ease,
this worm, ephemeral in the...

One Night Alone
I wake to a monochrome world and I yawn
The reds, greens and yellows awaiting the dawn
Out on the water, my luminous float
Rides unseen ripples in fear of no boat
This morning my roof is my fishing...

Ode To Tropical Island Loneliness
Oh Sweet Island! Thou tropical paradise:
Miles have I traced upon thy ceaseless reach
Of ocean-choked shorelines owed Heav’nly device
Sheltering I, this marooned guest on thine endless beach.
Safe House against...

Ode
Fireflies At Bedtime
In the supine chambers of my mind:
Thoughts of different hues spring up unsought
They crisscross like fireflies in the dark
Dancing virtually 3D all night
Love isn’t always reciprocal
In several cases; many will vouch.
One way...

Schrodinger's Lesion
Their numbers drawn, the backwards lottery
Almost none were aware they were playing
Assaulted by the poisons that save them
Hairless children with steroid-swollen cheeks
Feared stigmata of chemotherapy
Daily valiance, heroism unsought
Magic bullets are a relative thing
Modern wonder...

Romantic Love
In the brown leaves lie my valentine memory
In the sands of the dried up river my nudity
In the scent of jasmine garden your naked gravity
Who says the river flows for ever, never
What goes on until...

A Tale of Darkness
This is midnight, all slept indeed,
The factory bells do chime,
Ding-dong dong, thrice the sounds arise
From yonder darkling clime.
No one is there, two faint lamps glare,
Who rang the rusty bell?

The Poet's Shadow
I smile to the world
And enjoy the warm glance
That is returned to me!
I smile to the world
With a sparkle in my gaze
A sparkle having been placed there
On purpose
Meant to give the world
A hearty jolt
A jolt,...

Wicked Fingers
As your wicked fingers crawl onto the tightened metal,
I feel myself loosing control, reminiscing my presence
as if it is the holy lord's forbidden prayer,
That is toxic, yet it shows me the unknown fantasies...
As those pointed...

Social Anointing
(chorus)
All life seems so
dissapointing.
All you do
is social anointing.
All life seems so
unfulfilling.
All you do
is social killing.
The generations
And the future
Are in your hands
Taking you further
Than you've ever been
You're in so much demand
Taking every child...

Is This All
Is this all?
Life is a country, spread before us at birth, its
Vistas stretching beyond the horizon, full of
Mystery and anticipation.
In the distance lie mountain ranges,
Tall peaks of passion; this one the mother...

Prose Poetry
Don'T I Belong
Hidden though unsought
Ran from myself
Still got caught.
Mind, Body, Soul wrought.
Vengeance no longer mine
And yet I insist to ungently reside
Within the "desperate to love or to be" walls of my own heart.
Most continue to disrespect my...

The Lighthouse Beckons
The inevitable word ‘come’ coined by destiny,
embeds in the nascent awareness at a time precisely
when the eyes open to the distant lighthouse light,
journey begins with the warping waves out of sight.

You've Broken Me
you've broken me in ways I can't recount
unloved, uncherished, and unsought am I
the anguish of my soul I can't surmount
the pounding of my heart an echoed, "Why?"
You were possessed, you were obsessed with me

Iambic Pentameter
to FAVE or not to FAVE
To fave or not to fave, is that the question
Whether ‘tis nobler to remain silent
To hurl faint praise and fortune
Suffer the pangs of outrageous doubt
Or take up arms against a sightless algorithm
And by opposing them....

Till mortal frame fell,

Our Love Is Cursed
Such wondrous beauty held in eyes divine,
I wish this lovely night would stay, be kind,
So blissful are her eyes...I need no wine,
Nothing to match her beauty can I find.

Abomination Now Exposed- Part 01
Love they spout, love they falsely declare,
Yet their eyes betray a darkness, a glare.
A cocktail of hatred, lust, and envy,
Craving what's not theirs, God deems unholy.
Love they proclaim, a charade so grand,
Indulging...
