They said I'm a chip off the old block, but I'd never budge an inch For it is of nature to bear the semblance of the one from whom you proceed For it is blood to blood, nothing escaping For that's nature's will All we can do is to chop off the externals that does not augur well...

A blindfold of choice to circumnavigate the truth a pestilence of history to be spewed into their time the fixations of deceit and into slavery brought their meditation upon the divine And so by hunger relinquish their lives Such a covetous will and in the black ink of blood lays its bitter hate upon the seed of love for authority for monarchy for the guttural monsters to chew all their...

Some Semblance of Order Order always has some sort of semblance, To insure expected without any suspense; When will appear, Seems so sincere; Unless are being confused and also dense. Jim Horn...

The semblance of my desires enveloped me to him. a pursuit for freedom I needed more. Sexual sensations were defining my limits. Enticed with passion I submitted my substance of longing .I needed his touch his hands to move across my body. Noticing him watching me, my crimson lips could not take in a breath...

Open fields No farmer reaping corns Eternal pastures Bereft of grazers Streets and avenues Dead silence only broken by military convoys Houses and apartments Men hiding like mice Schools and colleges Momentary sirens Graveyards and crematoriums Bustling with the dead That’s you, dear world, today...

Far you go You ask me to come near, You walk alone and quiet You still try to reach me here. In the words I write You know I find you in me, Still you will inhume I know you are lonely without me. Far you go You still try to see me close, I hear you to whisper When I write about you...

Paraded endlessly, this spectacle the Elephants know to be degrading, And their counterparts from the sea , the Orcas, resist in captivity By refusing to unfurl their proud dorsal fin, stings my eyes like a gnat Lodged in my cortex, no amount of profit seems to dislodge. Waking from my dream, I notice the old man waving to the...

Your crisis of conviction Of the ages and the aging Left me a bereft, stupid, scarred leaf -- Trembling, weathered, soliciting something of a haven from Graver monsters still.
