blood-stained, wounded
internally begging
for care and crust-
to shelter in pure sunlight...

Often when it rains or snows...

Releasing rivers of self-pity and pain...

Lost In the Haze
The thrill and the high
Need to be in with the crowd

Drugs and life out of control
To soon their potential…lost

Hill moon eclipsed in the rain-filled blue clouds
Dark and light play in the boughs

The black shroud tightens
Heightened frenzy of thrashing
Pinned in the arms of Black Knight

a parenthesis
expanding
into infinite erasure

The Old Man has never
walked on the Moon
but he has crapped his pants
and he has puked on his wife's shoes
but after drinking a bottle of whiskey
The Old Man killed it when he played the blues....

Darkness-The Hour of Self-Expression
Darkness
A locus for expression of tears
Muffled thoughts grow vociferous
Suppressed emotions arise uprighteous
Societal demands and self interests lock horns
only to be put to rest before dawn...

Sky wallows near black
The darkness does shine nearby
Black envelopes throughout it
Couple walks within
On snowy surface they stroll
Near dusk the darkness folds in

visions of himself
a life of broken fragments
palette toned sepia.
a sense of menace
depresses anticlimax
master of his moods.
he realizes
not all quests are quixotic
some are doomed to fail....
