but nobody cares enough,

I'm everybody's fool, oh so alone.

Their actions seem far more absurd.

A pioneer was Theodore Rousseau
dramatic skies he oft did show
Painting en plein-air
letting nature speak 'loud&claire'

Ripple

Waves of time
Rip through sands
Sands of love
Sands of war
Sands of birth
Sands of death
Till the sands
Are hollowed


Writer's Block

Writer's block.
The chopping block.
All words have stopped,
But yet the clock
Lets hours drop.

The writer's blocked.

There is always hope
In my America!

In America!

In America!

Balanced on a wire so sharp ---
I wince each time I breathe ---
A sudden exit from my life,
would bring such sweet relief.

Sad

In the learning of the world and it’s pain, it’s rules and it’s sadness
I’ve unlearnt myself 
And that is the true tragedy.

Castle Skies

This dark, and what of it skied
A bad thing portends
More dramatic is these structures o'er.
Whose black past with blends.

Nothing To Add

I think about what I had.

Why I end up feeling so bad.

Wondering why I feel so sad.

But I guess there's nothing left to add.

My Husband

Yawn sigh, scratch your crotch
Yawn sigh, catch your breath.
Yawn sigh, me looking on,
Yawn,  sigh, 
how soon youth is gone.

The Lover's Tale

I wanted to leave the world behind,
But she said, "I want our story to be romanticized".
So I buried us alive, side by side.

You're dying

You're dying.... 

I'm Cancer,
No denying.
I'm happy
No lying,
Years fighting,
Years trying,
I love that,
You're dying.

No Longer

Because I need You,
I no longer need me.

Because You love me,
I no longer love myself.

I praise You,
because I am Yours.


Untitled #251 / True Love

“Ah! But I thought you were dead!”
“Death cannot stop true love,
it can only delay it awhile.”
What happens to a dream deferred?

Premium Member Words To a Viet Nam Vet

viet nam is happening
his leg is gone
i am sorry i say
and thank you
for your sacrifice
it is not enough
but it is all i have
war

Cry

I want to sleep,
it doesn't hurt.

Sleep fails me
hopeless I pretend

making promises
hide from pain.

I smile,
as I wake

Indigo

Mystical colour
Description most difficult 
In nature viewed of dramatic portent
Perhaps the sixth chakra of intuition and gnosis

Crimson Moon

Under the crimson moon
I see you
Pale as white and red as blood
With my knife
Through your heart
Now go to hell
For all of eternity.
