And we who rise each day to grind a living,
dream each scented night of such perfumes
as drew...

Defaulted Leaders
I wish you would’ve told me,
That I was no longer worth your time.
Your back-handed alabaster murmurs
Stroll passed my skeptical exhales
As I greeted you like adults should
But, your whitened pupils

and we have cheap...

Let loose upon an unsuspecting society.
Once my night life begins,
complications arise.
Let me pen an example.
Keep in mind, it was not my fault.
well, not entirely.
I awoke in my usual good humor. ...

While as stepping through this threshold, to find myself

~a Crimson Rose I~
Driving along a coastal road
The top drawn down
On a magical seaside day
She, thumbing through a magazine
Reaching for the stereo dial
"Stop," I say, she smiles
The wind, dancing about her hair
Waltzing, she seems so, astonishingly beautiful today...

spring things
Spring things arrive, assaulting eyes unused;
Hollowed by a winter grey, whitened paint infused.
Bleeding sudden kaleidoscopes to landscapes,
Cacophonies of endless greetings, drowning pain
As nature comes with energies and hunger once again.

that it will sink seems such a sin-
this mighty ship afloat-
not much longer, I did know...
and even with...
