torrents of tears flowed
when he saw a sea dragon
beached dehydrated
for he knows that it like him

Volcanic Eruption of a Soul

...In the mine of silence,                 
within the furnace of pain,                  
a burning soul, prepares for 
a tremendous explosion!

The mantle rocks fractured              
by the tre...

Snow

...The untimed snow rushed insulted against the glassed shoulders on the poster,

temperature rising
fire storm raging inside
her soul skin is scalded

one hot August day,
to see the seething summer sun
and her wrath on us she lay.

Caressed its jagged smoothness
Embraced its subtle metaphor
Wept in its nuanced nudity

Premium MemberCritterature: The Saga of Veronica Vole

...This is the saga of Veronica Vole
Who committed the perfect crime.
She murdered three lovers,
But not all at once,
She did 'em in one at a time.

A two-timing schemer,

Summer’s footprints are here,
scorching land at noon.
scalded tree leaves fear,

When all is reborn and remade for forever,
and time's paralyzing fear is erased from realit...

Weevil Weather

...It was not healthy,
a blunderbuss wind
had shot itself.

Strong legs for weak minds

Premium MemberEmpty Swing Swings

...The empty swing
swings gently
in the gentle
breeze that wafts
across the empty

The dust in the foot-pans

St Remy Wine For Enemy

Now, he is his sworn enemy:
On seeing Remy would withdraw,
Race towards any exit door,
For if Remy did, sword could draw:
A full fight or half of it sure!
