SydneyThere we were - Alf and I - Pharaohs,
surveying those white pyramids -
Nests of ibis - ovulating -
Opera.

Swaying o'er the waves below -
Spectred lovers on a phantom ship -
Drifting...

dim-lit barsIn the dim-lit corners of forgotten bars,
Where smoke dances with fallen stars,
I nurse my whiskey, neat and strong,
Lost in a world gone wrong.
The jukebox hums a melancholy tune,
As I drown my sorrows, glass by glass,...

I am woundedI am wounded
I looked out the window
The light, streaming down
Amongst the trees
Reflecting on me
To walk amongst the trees,
A simple pleasure
Fresh scent of pine
Mind, at ease
I heard birds,
shadows flying from tree to tree
My hand...

My Spinal Decompression Surgery
I'll never forget the date, the nineteenth of November
It's etched firmly in my mind, and I'll always remember
It was the day that I had my spinal decompression surgery
And hopefully it would put an end...

her eyes are gray, foreboding
her eyes are gray, foreboding
reflecting the wrath of Zeus
yet therein lies the charm of Hera
who silences Olympian thunderbolts
she is sharing a tenebrous introspect
the smile withdrawn, judgmental thought
an ego that must be fed, expense of others
aloofness...

To See the TruthDoes life to anyone really make sense?
Or is all mankind actually this dense?
God’s offer of wisdom and truth to man,
When accepted, we seldom understand.
Sometimes blinded by reason and logic.
Surely, it’s not genes or biologic.

Wars Without and Within
Since Adam’s fall the human race
has been stuck in a hostile space.
The evil forces wage a war,
God’s pure image they seek to tar.
This war is fought within our hearts,
with thoughts that wound like whizzing darts.

Demoting the Meaning, Promoting the SubtextToday slipped away from me

And I ExhaledI was so close to the sun,
Tantalizing; ethereal-
Warm rays rolling over my skin before-
Sinking deep,
A parasite rooting itself into my neck,
Gentle caresses-
Strangling-
Choking-.
Churning-,
Inching closer-
And it stopped.
I felt air again,
But my lungs had grown so used to...

Taken Away Too Young
There's not a lot I can do
To get over being blue
My world was flipped all around
When they put you in the ground
Tearing my heart out completely
Our love was so dear and sweetly
Getting better all the...

I Said to My TherapistI said to my therapist,
“Permission to Exhale,”
I made a wrong turn long ago.
Where angels fled
and my body bled
a crimson colored rose.
And as the clock ticks slowly
My heart would skip a beat
Alone inside my thoughts
