Now and Then and Now Again
1
Though still within our infancy,
we strive to thrive, but woefully
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

By Quill of Night
Steadfast, he, as fortress guarded
In his ivory tower slept
Fearing naught, though faith-departed
Knowing not his lover wept.

Secretly in silence crept
Corroded, as if silver, tarnished
‘Twas his heart - her only quest.
Haunting, held-yet lamentations...

Sands of Renewal
I have been a sieve bucket
Of shiny plastic parts,
Containing reasonable sands of logic, time and place-
Drastically mixed with the fluidity of natural human race,
And oddly and inconveniently, a subspace
For an awkwardly large heart.
Why has its...

seemingly thinking about...
