Embers Gleam in your Eyes

...
campfire flames flare bright
licking high into the night
fingers seek mirrors
to show the utmost delight
the fire wants to share tonight

your eyes catch that glow—
reflecting in afterglow
...

Inevitable Procession

...If you were to ask me
Be the one to catch me, before i take the fall
You'd be the only one waiting, afterall
For whence i open my mouth and
Spill a sea of pills tinged with reddened liquor 
I th...

SUMMER SUNRISE

...SUMMER SUNRISE
The sun blooms on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. It is the brilliant flower of the sky warming our summer days and inv...

Dervishes

...They begin to turn
Slowly unravelling
Arms unfurling, 
then skirts,
Spreading outwards
Lifting upwards

Softly stepping
Grounding down
Their feet repeat 
the pattern 
On the earth

Ripples and Tracks, Dreams and Memories

...
Lakes and beaches are wiped clean like a whiteboard, 
each day by waves, tide, wind.
Then marks of ripples and tracks provide transient tell-tales
of what has gone on since, of what is yet to co...

HOLOGRAPHIC JAZZ

...(Snaps fingers, adjusts imaginary beret) Alright, listen up/ hitching a ride on the infinite subway/ strapped in tight/ destinations unknown/ no layover/LSD boosting, pushing past the earthly zone/

LOVE
My word is love
Inspiration from my soul
Sent from high above

Even when I don't feel it
Even when I want to shut the whole world out
Even when th...

Angelique

...Oh Angelique
yesterday’s hubris
ached my heart
chasing too many Tennessee's.
The swirling colours of red and blue
obscure your Boutique and
midnight finery.
The night after makes
a fool of my...

Makabre Marionetta

...Hey mommy I am here to play
Daddy and brother are on the way 
To the underworld where I sent them
By gutting tummies and dissecting 
Innards go to outwards on the floor
Faces you can’t recognize...

Non-duality

...This is an old poem written sometime in 2018 or so ~


On first glance
We ...
Meaning our consciousness 
In its unconscious form
Knows only duality
Separateness 
Ego
This knowing
Of dualit...

The Bus

...The bus, the bus was waiting for me
Waiting, and yet I still didn’t want it to come
The steps were too steep, and the kids were always screaming or laughing
The wheels were always covered in mud, ...

Haiku: Little Songs of Nature

..."O blessed Java Sparrows mostly, the rare Opals then the plentiful Greys--palm frond squatters, and the ever so oft, Mejiro birds, a.k.a., the "Japanese White-Eyed," chartreuse bodied against...

BEHOLD

...BEHOLD!!! I am!!

The vocal minority grip at our sensibilities
and demand our attention outwards. 
Monkeys, our smaller cousins that, though looking alike,
are alien in their outlook.

Old Age

...
        Older age

being old is always ten years ahead: meanwhile
I’ve decided to embrace my present age positively

I walk, don’t run, affecting a dignified lumbering;

like darkness hidden underneath deadly white lies,
like throwin...
