The Bell Tower That Leaned In

I. The Pastor’s Hand

At dawn’s brittle cusp—
  he climbs, each step
    a nail in time’s coffin
  breath ragged
    a Psalm torn mid-hymn.

The rope tastes of incense and...

Green Hell



      


      As I fall into the buzzing altar of heavy 
metal shifting sand, maw, swirling sheets, 
illness drools plus plus halcyon?
drawn too many wrinkles...

Meditation on the Fashion

Being At Choice - An Echo Poem

I Woke Up

I woke up this morning to nothing, 
Emptiness crowded my lonely room, 
The sound of silence was deafening, 
I was blinded by the rays of gloom, 
(Just a dress rehearsal for the tomb)...

Introductions -Part 1-

Underneath it all…
No, not clothe-less—not naked…
Skinless…we’re traveling DEEP within…
Imagine your skull cut…split right in the middle,
Opening up to reveal your AMAZING brain,
As the rest of your body unfolds…
The fancy clothes…the hair…the young or old,
Bones exposed…organs...

Its a London Thing

Time is up to the London devil
Crack fiends roaming the streets on a next level
Trying to get a fix from that genie bottle
Kilos and ounces sold by forces
Police can't touch anyone there just ing ...

The Mask of Her Love

She does not love you.
She loves what you give her—
And when that gift fades, so too does her affection.
The modern man, deluded by poets and preachers,
Believes that love is salvation.
No—
Love is slavery wrapped in perfume.

She...

Awake the Shakespeare In Me

of landscapes with visions so idyllic, 
and sitting under a huge pine tree
that the Campanian breeze undulated gently,
they excited me by stirring thoughts so intrinsic...
brighter than gems and stars, and 'till...

Let Me Show You

Let me show you your own death, 
Night can fall in many ways, 
Every time a friend betrays, 
Love has one foot in the grave, 
Voices rush to call you knave.

When you can't catch your...

Summer Days

I watched the gentle waves lapping the shore 
And taste the salty breeze from the ocean air 
I saw seagulls flying horizontally without a care, 
Spreading their wings in the calm atmosphere. 

Politics powers reign...

Love Is Blind

Love can be blind if and when she chooses to be.
And I have come to know at least three types of love.
May I not rock the boat, but have I really seen blind love?
The love...

Oak Tree

Oak Tree
On a cold windy day I stood under an old oak tree
The oak tree that everyone used to run away from you see.
But I stood there firm and strong
And said oak tree, oak tree...

Eighteen

Eighteen

A number that holds so much meaning 

Any individual who meets terms with this number never feels content

A singular tie to childhood is all that’s left

A bearing weight of adulthood near

An anxious sense of uncertainty...

Secret

Deep eerie dark night
But there are no stars burning bright
Not even moon shimmers with its silver blue light
All there is visage of sad and dreary night

Heart Folds

Heart Folds

Beginning so small
this mound of tissue
time's perpetual resuscitation
life's bellows for passion
protection's engine of flow

So simple its form
this muscle of pulsation
innocent of harm's way
liquid breathing of body's dependence
wanting only to maintain tomorrow's awakening

Sentries stand guard
immunity's...

The Gift

There are many gifts that are flashy to the eyes
that will bring joy for the moment
only to age and remain in this land
so one could keep searching for a newer version
that comes and goes

Grasped by the unrelenting hold of depression is like having all of the joy sucked out of your life,
You pay life's prices but it withholds the rewards,
Just wanting every experience to be over so you...

Resurrecting Emotions

"Oh! Screw you!" "Don't want to!" "Take one way to hell!"
But feelings like these fake adults bury deep!
Dad's itching to beat me again I can tell!
No wonder my inner child struggles with sleep?

“Don’t leave me!”...

Bullies

What kind of sadistic delirium dwells in an 
obtuse parent whose child emulates their 
behavior in showing it is okay to bully other 
children whose only egregious fault is shyness? 

Bullied and tormented and teased...

Loneliness

Lonely gazes glumly at the world that bustles by, 
from the tinted windows of her heart, 
where no one sees her cry.

"Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink..." 
They're close in their proximity,...
