'til today's unsheathed bladed Java buttons clicking

I took your oath seriously as you had been my friend,
I never could imagine that you would cheat at the end;
You touched the Bible, took an oath, on the day of trial,
Was your backsliding mere...

The beautiful enchantress I call you or the revered Goddess;
So many sunk at your feet to death slow, by your beauty besotted
While for a holy task you surrendered to please an anchoress.

Seems like I could be on top of the world.
I think about poetry like my tongue is pearled.
Just the other day I wrote a poem to honor another poet.
I spun around in a spin to...

Horrendous Fruit

“Ah my eyes!” the acid sprays,
From the knobbly whorled display,
Of the thickened orange skin,
Pith and citric acid akin.

I take a bite of segmented fruit,
Cells explode and sour does too,
My eyes fall closed, My faces...

time painted…
becomes motionless
and we worship its silence 
cut and frail 
and drink the earth of meaning
that traps us in color 
like fire drawn
through heaven’s aperture 
only to rise and encroach 
upon the growing darkness ...

Invisible to the naked eye
traumatization (courtesy
chastising and reproaching -
by fellow classmates
and later in life
birth parents and inlaws 
dealt hefty figurative jab)

analogous to him moving bajillion miles away
compounded by his withdrawn demeanor

Traveled long
 I come afar
Guided by a star 

Hear echoes of voice within

I am aching 
from blues and bruise
Yet, I languish to cruise
Nothing to lose
This I choose

Afire you came
Bold brave but tame
You spun great change
Breaking...

Oh dreamy lass of fragrant wiles,
            a parasol of white unfurled..
your bloom beguiles her moonlight miles,

It’s Autumn weather, geese fly by,;
Autumn rust,red,gold,so gay

Drystone walls edging fields,

Apples gathered,holly berries

Flash so brightly

Look like flowers

Sun shines sideways,shadows long

Of trees appear.I dwell among

Woods of gentle beeches sing

Swaying with the sideward wind.

See their roots, all...

He could see her highly strung face
Behind the cloaked veil
A face taught to behold beautiful turbulent.
He could feel the shiver in her timid heart
And the fearful spasm
Running down her spine.
He held her hand and whorled...

When does an outcome thoroughly blossom
through snow falls and brokenhearted sunsets?
Life provides inspiration of awesome
born adventures to sing with no regrets.

Hope, faith, love nonstop of acknowledgement 
great seductive beauty and temptation; 
recall religious impoverishment

In the fragility of dreams
Slowly withers with the complexities 
Of life while also overshadowing
Flowers on tufts of whorled branches and leaves
Drowning bleakness in unforgiving world

An infinitude of grief, death has stolen
Whilst the imperfections human has...

Pain resonates in the mud. Unbalances
you, sticks you in centuries one can only
imagine. Toppled spheres atop
consecrated pews littered with charred
Easter missalettes. Doesn’t count as
abstract art, your canvas. Bleeds, 
splattered hostile wails, upended 
concrete and tea...

Time ticks on
and I am its minutes
crafting the hour
of poetic germination.

No longer will I write words
reminiscent of willow-like catkins.

But shall bloom true poetic flowers
whose petals shall be whorled 
scented words pollinated with truths.

And whose essence...
