Long Vicissitude Poems

"Christmas in the Cathedral of the Forest Deep"




The silent heart is found 
embedded in the 
Cathedral of 
The Forest Deep

The lost jewel
shines in the dark
see the reflection of emerald eyes
endless hazel woods scried

On Christmas Eve
when...

Humanity Upon the Falling

Catastrophic predictions for humanities future
Another universal wound that needs an international suture 
A forced appropriation into sacred laws and culture 
A non linear approach to living by an exhibitionist social vulture

Hoping everyday there will be a vicissitude in your thinking.
Irritation and repose.
Waiting.
For a text, a call, reticence.
White space on paper.
Empty.
I drank your wine.
I reveled in your game.
Laid nude and bent over your couch while you...

So wipe your tears.

Wipe your tears and look up to the hills, from...

has put me on a wild-goose chase,
making my mind so water-logged
with gross and unbearable lack of confidence.
Your presence has cancelled these memories
and caused me into an acute Amnesia,
remarkably stimulating me
to attempt an...

This is a poem about books
Not just books,
But what happens between us and books
Our relationship with books

To some-
They’re only stacks and stacks of a series of words
To some-
They are their teachers when no teachers are...

A hand of sand in spectrum of flow of time,
ministering thoughts by simple pantomime.
So many sand-curies it has been,
and dessert hills moved gently keen.
Caravans slow vicissitude by blow of wind,
seasick on a camel ride pinned.
Motion...

Turning into an angelic beast,
Here is the ugly Narcissist....
For others! She cared least,
Here's the ugly Narcissist.

Her dereliction,as my better half,of supporting my strides,worry's me.

Sailing in the parallel boat...

Declarative mantras in tenacious pulchritude
reiterate the unbound verisimilitude.
The cohorts cannot comprehend the vicissitude.
Learning and judgments are encumbered in lassitude.
My thoughts are accomplished extemporaneously,
although they are all confronted adversatively.
Examples of life’s essences contrary to me,
adulterated by...

An incentive unknown
To my tail it courses
Vision reddens
Eyes no longer see amenity

Flash through life my mind has
A turbulent form it has brought upon 
My senses
As though my claws dig
My ears perk
These noises construe to my...

The Inevitable Elements

No prestidigitation, clairvoyance, or incredulous miracle
Can stave off that which is inevitable
Encumbrances of the day with vicissitude in decay
Pray on dramatic soliloquy born to die

Mom was a person of indisputable integrity...
teaching siblings the strict rules of equality.


A voice of tender words to remember her by...
a dazzling light invading my tenebrous sky.


Mother was more glittering and worthier than any gold...
