Stepping Outside To Regather
...Easy to get stuck
inside my head
outside Earth's neglected
aching hearts
Breathing in and out togather
fumes of historically fueled
graphite sheeted walls
too all-encumbering to smell

A Happy All Hallow's Eve
...Goodbye sun, hello moon, it is time
All Hallow's Evening has now arrived,
Pumpkins lit until dawn, wink sublime
Lest all flame, wax and wick be deprived
Sheeted ghosts hand in hand with witches...

Halloween On My Block
...A terrifying sheeted ghost came by and we pretended to be scared.
It was probably Wilbur, and he liked to think that we cared.
Next was a headless kid carrying a bloody head.
That’s got to be Zeke...

After the Storm
...Savage whims of winter
that bring freezing rain
unrestrained
in a sky re-grouping
flaired forceful with the cold
Ice coated, leaf-less trees that bend

...These hands that write
have lost their touch
This mind that thinks
Is lost
These eyes that see the world around
Are sheeted over with frost
These lips that used ...

In Our Homeland
...The sun rose slowly over the horizon and fell,
We are the giant of Africa,
Relying on the neighboring and international dwarfs for economic and socio-political development,
A situation for the ang...

To the Invisible Friend
...To the Invisible Friend
The dredging decades have floated by like drifting clouds in the beckoning western sky.
Hello dead friend of my distant youthful days under these erotic jacaranda blooms....

On These Wings
...Sheeted winds of hushed desire
Dragged behind these wings of fire.
Momentous doom plans melt below
The ofttimes weary hands now show.
This room all splashed in ink's delight
Grows faded now in r...

Eaten
...The mirrors and furniture are sheeted.
Love has eaten me up
like a fancy box of chocolates
now completely gone.
My phone is clean off the hook.
Voices carry emotion
and always the opinions, ...

Craigie Manor
...Within the Craigie Mile a manor house stands
Under sheeted rain and surrounded by shrouding fog
One night as Hell sang in the sky
A lady did run along the Craigie mile
Where she was she had no cl...

...Waking everyday with a sheeted mind,
Eyes blurry and fused together,
The pressure on my face,
Like my body is telling me no.
The steam stays shimmering,
The cool air outside giving me relief,
O...

as sheeted water tumbled from up high
a place where nature lay in blissful peace
exhaling fragrant breaths t...

The rain seems to be chasing me as if trying to find proof
Proof that this day has finally arrived with no escape route in sight

I Walked Away
...As an ambulance medic on call,
I’m paged to a school bus accident.
And I rush out to the location,
personal emotions set aside.
I found a scene of bloody carnage,
small bodies, terribl...
