the prismatic Self

...
gauntlet of mirrors transparency personified
transparency personified when the curtain falls
in an arena of quick sand and impromptu judgement

the stage was well set though actually
it presen...

Healing

...it is dark in my soul and yet
obscurity is piercing like a laser beam
an eerie cacophony endures
the silent screams of a sledge hammer

pounding destruction and oblivion
display bizarre connect...

Bag of Spiders Dare

...the sick dare you defined
from the web of a sick mind
was so blindly, blatantly unkind.
the horde of spiders, squirming confined
with hairy legs heaving, churning, interwined
with dotted eyes bl...

Knife's Edge

...the tattoo on her eyebrow frowned

at the sight of yesteryear’s cutlass

the well-rounded blade had become

blunt dull and worn down from overuse 

and yet straight to the point of salvation
...

The Marmalade King

...The Man casts a shadow purulent with stealth
    Having seen his apportion of nebulous days.
In fear of himself... too long on the shelf
    And a vague memory of far better days.
He then lowers ...

Opening

...April had not always been open for change

as her name would suggest on the surface

too dark were her youth and gloomy mind

shaped by seasons of torment and abuse

as she festered under cov...

Backscattering

...She gazed at the looking glass, but the mirror refused to grant her a preview of what might happen, a clear picture of where she had been and if she existed at all, the spectre of the moment seemed t...

Beyond Real

...when Animal Farm is not a feeding manual

and Clockwork Orange strikes at midnight

Dali’s time piece warps under face value

and an eagle-eyed-cuckoo flies over its nest

Face of Cold Glass

...the mirror warped at the sight of her distorted face

condensed tears spoke louder than thundering words

‘swoosh’ and down went another part of her soul

tore apart the bevelled edges and smea...

...“Never forget 
everything Hitler did 
in Germany was legal.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

drop by drop lady liberty bleeds
red on white and blue
common sense vexatious 
verboten spins askew

trapped in the rat race of high speed and the volume on full blast

incarcerated shackled and straight jacketed thumb screws ...

Terminal Choice

...crushed at rock bottom he gathered the fragments of descent

slow motion agony that started at a plateau of deluded deceit

free falling sadness spiraling out of control beyond fast repair

Abandoned

...she had put a band on her wrist

          in case she got lost on the journey

                    ‘missing me but don’t return to sender’
