ricocheting axon to neuron
inducing inxs of chaos
wreaking entropy beheld
by beauty and the beast

With annual observation,

Give a womb kernel cede

To the spectrum birthright

Feathers of my mind
Angel brings me back
From those claws of death
Moonlight shows the key
Floating peacefully
Leaving stress and strain behind
Catching calmness
Forest adventures
Lost as...

Iron Wings
gushing through, rushing in,
hearts will move above all sin,
you cannot see, you cannot fortell,
as it pushes you by force and sound,
whipping in, you whip around,
keeping your feet on solid ground,
by faith pointing from the direction...

A Wish In Vain
( An old poem, slightly modified)
How I wish my poems could,
soar higher and higher
like a bird of limitless wingspan,

tilting their wings in vain,
unable to fly...

The Other Side
Who is he and why does he pursue me?
This creature of the night emerging through the trees,
sealing me with his lips

donning barren falsehoods

Adrift upon the ocean
