Premium Member Asylum Advent
On another Thames River,
with steady rural New England flow
toward Long Island's warming Sound
then on and out toward whispering drowned memories
of Atlantis,
slumbering on eastern bank,
surrounded by Pequot Elder spirit grounds,
ruined medicine's monolithic altars
worshiping insanely labyrinthine proportion,
crumbling...

Twisted Reality
When I step inside your twisted reality ...
this is what my spiritual eyes see,
your soul revealed in it's totality
A scaly skin of self-serving morality ...
you always ask, what's in it for me,
what can you do...

PARTS AND COUNTERPARTS

scrawled on the blackboard jungle, a mural
of profanity – pronouncing women’s names,
their parts and counterparts. reality creeps

from the verminous city streets.  the mundanity of
laying out private jewels as a juxtaposition,
where silk and...

Escaping Humanity
Feeling the desolation, of smothering air
Hemmed in by crowds; the obliqueness of fear
Throng of the city and no sight of the sun
Incessant noise and the desire to just run.
And I drive.

Arterial routes clogged by metal...

Finding My Way Home
In the West
I searched for a vision 
to capture and keep
and glimpsed lovely wings
in sky of azure
Summer was dressed in her best greens
and trees, like sentinels, stood silently by
watching me…
watching her.

The chase began
It led me...

Every word and every thought seem so priceless
Something that can bring belief into you
On the other hand, it can also rip you heart apart

Our Brutal Rooms
In the canvas of twilightish insanity
Appear pomegranate designs of passion
An intellectual dance of day flowing into night

In the sea inside skull, the heartbeats of humanity
Vibrating with   rurality towards urbanity 
Get oxidized in the...

Premium Member Where Are the Universal Themes
Where are the universal themes,
the parables, the parallels that might
be drawn from humdrum, quotidian
happenstance?  We languish in these ruts
we live in and bear our days with resignation
(some with equanimity) -- justifying
our inaction, our failures...

I Think, Therefore Am I?


Neck cracking penumbra
shines on starlit mundanity
ebon macabre epiphanies
fogwebs of my morality
my tongue twists ceaselessly
trinkets of truffled profanity
dearest mirror, mirror reality
has humanity cursed me?
For the fatality of dreams
bared in broken bosoms
of madness...

Behind the mighty structures of brick and stone,
Are the naked hands of people who stand alone,
Fighting against all odds through the sun & rain,
Until the last drop of their energy drains.

The day my life went crazy

it was totally deserted and
lacking any vitality except

Realities of Illusions
Realities of Illusions

In my idiosyncratic INSANITY
How do I reach hypocritical HUMANITY?
If I used pretentious PROFANITY
Would it create a maniacal MENTALITY?
For I’m tired of the belligerent BRUTALITY
As I try to restore mystical MORALITY

REALITY of illegitimate illusions...

Their lives were filled with meanness and insanity.
These people lived with no regard for humanity.

To keep their secrets they threatened with brutality.
