Seeds
"Seeds"
Blue reaches reflections
touching ripples
tears in time ephemeral
caresses fragrant Green my canopy
opens the light
inside me
cracked eggshell
golden-yoked sunshine
pale turquoise kintsugi
splintered paths inside my mind
in the smallness
of me
something
quietly blooms
ragged yet refined
a gecko...

5
"5"
benevolence and favour
seemed to be absent
in the world
grace, a name
whispered before
a meal shared
5 fingers
on each hand
steeples, hiding people
games played
in reverence
as a child
war paint
bleeding
signs
in the footprints
the number of...

Until His Red-Heart Weeps
Until His Red-Heart Weeps
In his forest, the Indian avoided the trappings of the white men;
There his footfalls upon soft and clean, untouched virgin ground;
A place where his tired soul can finally reach ever deeper within;
Nature...

Hey You
Hey you,
I know what you are going through
Trying to stand tall and strong
While a deep rooted pain arising from within
Is eating you from the inside
You don’t know what is causing it
You don’t know how long...

He Was My Sun
He was my sun, my one and only son,
attired as a cowboy for the day.
And so I handed him a little gun
of fastened random sticks, for him to shoot and play.
Attired as a cowboy...

Self-Portrait with My Shoebill Friend as We Rebrand Spirituality
This time,
Janice is wearing a priest collar
and I’m the altar.
She hisses when I open my Notes app
during communion,
calls me a heretic
for spellchecking my trauma.
I tell her my whole personality
is based on being misquoted.
She says no,...

She Is On Her Way
She'll be rather willing to be burnt
on the stakes forgotten
than sleep and wake in the jailers chains
watching her purpose gather up dust.
Rake her charred remains
heap upon heap among others
that died trying
She'll smile till the last,...

Fractured Intensity
Passion fell by the wayside
Cold Phoenix doubt rose from the ashes
smouldering on the inside
Broken candlelight date invitations
rue glow leaves grey matter with dark, unsettling thoughts
Giving restless peace of mind,
plenty wary settle down reservations
Apache war...

Ash Tree Gospel
They buried my name in a saltless grave
and left my voice in the bark of an ash tree.
I was born breathless,
wrapped in the skin of something ancient
not animal, not spirit,
but a memory unfinished.
I remember flames...

Dramatic Monologue
May I Buy You Another
Eye contact at a bar,
Laughter mixes pheromones,
Irises dilate as dark euphoria sets
Two unavoidable actions in motion.
His double action Adams apple pumping
As her lips glisten after a tongue bath.
Lightning cracks inside, deafening logical rhythm,
Channeling energy...

Confessions of a Time Traveler
I created a time machine
Because I have a sacred vision
To abort Augustus Caesar
Is my life's holy mission
His dogmas concerning marriage
And procreation for the state
Precursor to that religion of empire
I will personally eliminate
Back to forty four...

Illusion of the Half Naked Tiger
ILLUSION OF THE HALF NAKED TIGER
The fiery furious big cat unchained:
"I can't change even if I change I'm unchanged",
Striped with fur even if I forsook my identity,
Saffron-faced riding in it's majesty,
Yawning like a famished ferocious...
