Fools' Gold

Stand the barrel on its bottom
  Fine wine, it proudly holds 

Turn it upside-down, misbegotten
  The wine's been proven fools' gold

Petty Theft

Petty Theft

Abandoned on a dark and dusty shelf,
a part of her forsaken self,
not forgotten, but a misbegotten
treasure of a stolen Christmas elf.

Forsaken

Forgotten lie the graves of the forsaken, 
long unremembered, strangled 
by the grasses of neglect; 
misbegotten, ever mute they fester, 
worm-mingled, mercy less, with 
no vestige of respect.

Fast Walking

Father was a fast walker;
hard to catch up.

I am not his own child -
a misbegotten slow one.

A lifetime later
I question just when he claimed
ownership?

If there is any answer
it must wait now
for two graves to catch up.

There Are No Tears

There are no tears
  To softly cleanse
    Covered guilt
      Of thoughtless choice.

There are no tears
  To gently soothe
    Hidden sorrow
      Of aged wrongs.

There are no tears
  To finely heal
    Scar-bound wounds
      Of misbegotten wars.

On the Edge

Misbegotten pair, 
two-faced condemnation, 
the seduction of sweet solace 
or the inarticulation of despair. 

Uneasy 'neath the spell of peerless rapture, 
false respite from the ravages of fear,
or defenseless and imperilled 
by a sadness that is too extreme to bear.

The Hourglass

I wish that I had cared enough,
to mention once or twice

That what I wanted now has changed,
old virtues turned to vice

The past left misbegotten,
and future long disclaimed

The present what I’m running from
—its hourglass in flames

Echoes of Unrequited Night


Staring at the stars in the sky
Hollow heart,cast under the shadow of love
Forgotten, downtrodden
Castaway,the fate of the misbegotten
Cursed to wander the desert of the unloved
Thirst and hunger through the mist of eternal pain
Starved of amourity
The biting darkness,my old friend.

tight as a mouthful

the smithy was empty
and the tree near it had fallen
and no one had expected it
the sunken sun had made a stand
with desperate gaiety
swept through sleep
to break the night

The Autumn children
like caged birds
counted the crocus stalks
and for footfalls of a misbegotten
soothsayer

Premonition

Throw around legs
Throwaway hair
Biting her tongue
Tapping the chair

Dinnertime psychology
Filling her frayed mind
Undigested memories 
Too bitter to be confined

Eighteen years 
Blurred as if one
Opaque footsteps
Of a misbegotten son

“Dessert, mom?”
“No thanks, dear.”
Her plate is empty
Her conscience clear

overcast

overcast

I like rain, not angry rain with an attitude
neglected by the mother cloud and take revenge
for its misbegotten infancy 
Lashing those who sought peace and the promise
of forever, with ice blasts  
soft rain that feels like a cares, a day in June 
Drips from my blue umbrella feel like kisses from
a long-time lover

Misbegotten pair, 
two-faced aggravation,
