I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO I AM 

Standing 
In awareness,
I’m ready
For all

My life;

And many 
Sage trees
In our

Premium MemberThe Enlightened Worm

A worm that floated in a brook
spied a fish, shivered and shook,
asked himself, "Who needs
a fisherman and his evil deeds?", 
and quietly slipped off his hook.

Premium MemberDon't be a Crab

If you want to pursue it, 
don't do it like a crab might do it
when he walks or works or plays,
always doing it sideways.

Buzzing as she went:-

Premium MemberBy the Streetlamp

sun-dried, saltwater-rusted
bench sits above cherry bricks
undulating like pan-fried
bacon strips, by the streetlamp
where lazy dogs whine at once
and also lose their bladders
and imagine chuletas
in the beaconed street's limelight

Premium MemberAmbassadors Of Love

The continuance of our beliefs, cultures, and dreams, remain steadfastly anchored within our children: it's no wonder we love them so. We assure them that the bogeyman doesn't exist in the real world: warning that fear can affect lives, harden hearts, and displace love. We teach the emergence of man from animal to human beings. And though young minds bristle with questions: we help them figure out the answers on their own. And emphasize the importance of truth: garnering Karma from both our failures and our successes. We introduce them to faith: where compassion and forgiveness flourish, fueled by hope and God's eternal love. And we pray, when we pass Life’s baton to them: our children, like ourselves, will carry on, as ambassadors of love.

Premium MemberAM Verses on a Sleepless Night

In what to me now seems like ages
I've only read some sundry pages;
Lord Byron, a Romantic poet, 
was a dark wit; you'd just know it.

But I (yes, I!) know much better,
for I know it to the letter,
that Byron was an insatiable lord
(with “ssssss” as the head of a large “sword”)!

Premium MemberA Cornered Rat

A Cornered Rat No matter what the enemy’s might. The smallest of beasts will stand and fight. Whether a cat or a mighty bear. Confront him only if you take care. For a cornered rat will stand and fight. No matter what the enemy’s might. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison

Premium MemberGreenling Elegy - Revision

clouded omens across code

the objective fact of the atmosphere here
starves even the most modest
ambitions of fish outside their home waters

journey of yearning mundane
day-glow gradients of green
scales gasping 
toward the summit

regret etched in the eyeball
a penumbra casting its subtle shadow
lips rest in swags of exhausted lassitude
beleaguered
by their own bland arguments
against the reality

hung above a feckless mountainside face up
blind to the gallows scaffold 

too much air in the jagged aspiration 
of escape

the breathless canvas of a departing day
