The Forgotten Legion of Rose Thorns
"The Forgotten Legion of Rose Thorns"
Reversing roll calls
the Anti-Hero
jumps through
burning hoops
instinctively
bathed in the magnum glow
designed to fire cartridges
with a kick like a field gun
a bloody victory
is eventually won
lacking conventionality
novel and picaresque
placing bad...

Calcivore, Part VV.
It was several minutes before Singh spoke
said,“There was a beacon on your life raft,
we saw here it went after you ship sank,
knew if you reached ground then things would be bad.”
At this Zack perked up...

Narrative
The Palace GuardiennesThe Palace Guardiennes were the sultan’s delight,
resplendent in their tight uniforms
of scarlet and magenta silks,
embroidered with golden flowers,
with sterling silver scimitars in
ruby studded scabbards
hanging off lovely hips,
and boots and belts of finest faun-skin
and helmets topped...

Broken But LivingOn the hill top staring out to the bottom
Life seems so far from me
Up to the heavens I look and pray as I am on my knee
Living life like an unwatched DVD
Up on this...

Dramatic Monologue
Zombies Conquer Rites of PassageSamantha feels like spider kill --
horribly alive, but stuck.
Stuck!
Inside the web
functional furniture
desperate office art.
No windows, so no seasons.
Thank God her mind took protective, evasive
measures long ago.
She's unbudgeable.
She's prehistoric!
And it's a beautiful day in the...

To Our Dearly Beloved Son, Now Deadfor Mahathero Gunasena
In a makeshift vihara in the heart of London
Bikku then disclosed his parents long gone
Might one dare utter after all these years
Was it yesterday he would shed dry tears
Somewhere in the saffron folds...

Age of 55Coming of Age
Sitting on my front porch
Watching the world go by
I wonder what I’ve learned
At the age of 55?
What were the 60’s all about?
Did we need to yell and shout
As young men died and distant...

Ballad
You Are What You ThinkLike a baby
screaming out
exciting
mind to action
speechless heart
thinks in silence.
Happy thoughts
stretch a smile
sad thoughts
wet the eyes
jealous thoughts
invent a lie
envious thoughts
grab the knife
fearful thoughts
talents hide
tying jails
the inadequate.
In the garden
of the mind
left unwatched
cockle thrives
love unlocks and
grows...

Lyric
A Sailor LostOh Sleepless night oh Glory be
The stealth of nature burdens thee
As winter washes o'er the stones
Your cold caress doth sear my bones
An unfurled sail on straining yard
The banshee howls, its breath bites hard
Tossed from main,...

Rhyme
MundaneIt’s rare I find the depths to plumb;
I pen the silly and the dumb.
I don’t scream much into the void
about things with which I’m annoyed.
I cannot rage about my ex
or brag about hot hookup sex,
or...

Wings of WonderDoes a seed see the sprout
as it changes underground
or a creeping caterpillar
know it will fly above the cloud?
Pregnant clouds mist the sprout
cracking earth into a smile
feeding bees and butterflies
as it blooms and when it...

My NigeriaMY NIGERIA
Proud and ready to dare, blessed and fertile
Named from nature and born from the pursuit of freedom,
A freedom that defied chains and made colonialism futile!
These are the stories taught about Nigeria, this kingdom.

Binman's StrikeRats and other vermin abound through the waste of mankind's making,
No one working to keep streets safe, such an important undertaking.
The jobs of such are perilous, dirty and disgusting,
Yet these humble jobs in the ditch...

OwlSilent night sister,
is your hunting done?
you sit in perfect calm
catching each one
of the silent stars
that hang in the sky
like eyes, still and watching
the silent night go by.
Have you no nest to retire to?
Or are you...
