The Toll of a Single Bell Chime

...
A bell tolls — with a single chime.
Igniting the spell of dawn’s regret.
It halts the breath, suspends all time,
Foreboding with threats you can't forget.

You flinch—one foot on the stepping ...

Tigers Tall

...Tigers in the tall grass.
Bruins in the buckwheat.
Sirens, sing of sassafras!
Eagles, time to eat...

Linger, O my looking-glass...
Red run in reply.
Languid liquor, poison gas!
Death, glance...

Black Gutters, Painted Ceilings

...Between the black gutters and the painted ceilings,
Dogs teach dolls how to die.
	 Study the rot in my bicuspids, file down the calluses and watch the heartbeat
	Shake the skin like strychnine...

Dust Quells What Time Tells

...Dust coats mementos in treasure trove
In a veil that palls recall with a shroud.
It dims the past with repast of neglect,
That taints memories with fading, settling light.
Echoes become fainter, ...

Symphony of the Sunrise

...In a world where hate reigns in whirling waves, as winter wreaths form chilling chains. 
I seek refuge from weeping war strains; my one desire to vacate the poverty lane. 
These gliding lights we g...

Provision me

...Just my tune
the orchestra palls in insignificance
I stood by your dreams
forgetting the past
the pitter patter of rain recalls
Meanwhile we looked the same
from a place with no name 
Silver b...

time

...The embered clock chimes
Mother time palls a migraine
The momentary instinct tells
Welcome to the Citadel
answering the question
AM I the TIDE
lapping along
the uncertainty of time
chilled me...

The Stench of Insomnia

...THE STENCH OF INSOMNIA

   narcoleptic deities in charge of the world
   are tangled and detangled in the threads of time 
   
   they are sardonic and bitter and out for revenge 

   alien me...

More War: 24

...This is constructed in the CUBE16 style I created several years ago.

As conscripts March
and war is nigh,
fear grips men’s hearts.
Stern looks belie.

Their ears are filled 
with rifle shot....

Winter Slumber

...Winter whirling anxiety upon silent, shadows light sleeping from dawn to dusk.
Sky smudged in a raven haze, 
mist lining paths with a silver shade.
The emerald sea freezes like a pastel ice ring r...

Stars of Clarity

...Striving for silver linings in the ebony of the equinox   
I chased my dreams of idealism to stop the endless maroon anguish shadows 
Yet your words failed to sing a symphony of mosaic joy
You mad...

Seeking a light

...Seeking a light 

Winter chill rustles faces in fields of grey
Feet ponder in the reservoirs  of rain 
Gazes search the blue line for wavering light 

Frosty strangers stole their light 
Branc...

Shadows

...Shadows  9-22-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadows

Living in ethereal shadows of compassion,
In profiles of grace,
Mercy overshadows stumbling stones
...

The Here and Now

...THE HERE AND NOW

Just go find the key to the present
And the future becomes unlocked
For some, it is just the distant past
As if who they were then, will last
Seen all doors and never knocked
...

Lackluster Shellacking

...Feeling sluggish, shelled.
Lithely lingering in the dust and grime.
Palette grey and dull, devoid of crisp bright hues,
Brushes all furry, frayed, blunt, incapable of fine detail.
Apathy and comp...
