I hated that,...Read More

The Creek's RiseThe creek rise rolled in mixed with fog
Dampness coats shrubs and trees
Morning Doves sing through it all
Yet no sound from the bees
Another bird sings its sweet tune
Can't place its unique name
Though there are Mockingbirds in flight
And house finches almost tame
The...Read More

Mind tricksTricks of my mind...
More intricate than a spider's web.
Consume me, use me, then leave me to wonder-

Drug of ChoiceShe’s got moves like a dancer
out there on the floor,
she screams like a banshee
and sleeps like a whore,
you’ll have no defense once
her sweet lies are deployed.
She’s got eyes that terrify
and electrical touch,
she’ll take what you give her,
then give back too...Read More

LAMENTThe passing of a friend approaches,
One who's long been near my heart.
Incurable! No treatment options.
I'm heartsick nothing can be done.
Once white, now gray as death's cold skin,
Threadbare, failing fabric sags,
Elastic hangs down like a fringe,
Helpless threads are no support.

Vision cloudy I can't see

Our goal to...Read More

I Dream Of A Better DayTears cannot wash my sadness away
mourning memories of yesterday.
And yet today nothing can be done
so tomorrow seeks a cleansing sun.
Falling in love’s a lesson in trust
for passion’s often fueled by lust.
And lately I'm feeling led astray
by the sexual games that...Read More

AvalancheAvalanches
They have no enemy
Not an ounce of bloodlust
No regret
No discrimination between evening
Day
Night
Neither the sun nor the moon
And yet they are so reckless
The nameless mountain, that frightful thing
So quick to pulverise the living
No reaction to the brooding...Read More

The peace is restless a sense of danger
the big powers have been banging on their war drums

Life's Best Hold
We all need to hold on
to something or to someone

When we have each other

of the other not just by letter
No matter what enemies...Read More

Untouched SoulsYou said that you would wait for me
Despite whom you were with
That you would leave them longing
And we could finally live.
Yes… I was much younger
And didn’t know what best
And yes I kept this secret…
And played it close to chest
But...Read More

The World Without the SelfBetween conjecture and classification there is
observation, experiment, data (collection and analysis),
statistics, calculus, and a good guess
about God's intentions - probabilities, fractals, chaos and complexity.

The Tale of the Opium TearsEyes that cry in anguish,
Uncertain and alone.
Seeking some solution
And searching for a home.

In contentment’s warm embrace,
Was the smile I saw each day
But a mask upon your face?...Read More

Save meNo one cares. Nor understands.
I am trapped by my own thoughts.
Never ending torture.
A whole of never ending darkness.
Everything is just trash!
Your life. Those people who you cherish.
Everything you've achieved.
A pile of worthless trash!
