we are only left wreckage
of our amazement...

  Nary a glance back of contrition...

As we reach up to aspire
Crushed by intense fire

Hold me.
My heart's adrift.
Now hard aground, torn sails. 
Can we just once sail WITH the tide?
Again?...

Human wreckage
Skeletal wasteland
Void of emotions
Echoes... vague-
Shadow boxing
In darkness
With ghosts....

We crashed and collided
Wild waves spilling our wreckage across these shores
Beautiful disasters 
We were caught in the tide...

a snarled subconscious
       conjures cumulus demons…
            waking in wreckage

Listen to poem:

Each dawn's debris sort
of wreckage from day before
yields jetsam just junked 
and flotsam break-up relics.
On the beach who can tell which?...

Picked off wreckage
Clothed and learnt anew
A mile further
Vinous, soft love
Shown to sweet calm waters
Stirred by angels for my quench
Deligted, indebted heart...

I opened the mail with trepidation 
Reading the words with great hesitation 
	Stunned at the message 
	My life a wreckage 
She’d wed another–humiliation.

two fragile hearts collide

delicate as glass

scattered tiny shattered precious fragments

within the glittering wreckage you dream that beautiful broken things can be made

dying to get home - 
last message that she texted
to her waiting spouse. . . . 
near the wreckage of her car -
shattered phone in blood-stained grass

Hollow tin-cup chess pieces 
tethered to fate are we
manipulated by forces
   unperceived
landing abruptly in
   alien territories
naïve suppositions
   blown to bits 
on the wreckage of empires...

MESSAGE
I am opening my soul to send the next message
Love is the waves of the passage
How can we survive the worst wreckage
We are going to overcome the stresses

Love is really in such a way :
          word the agreements,
          distribute the ties...
          Accept the wreckage,
          but save from happiness
          all shine, in kisses
           and bones... !...

I suppose I had no choice
                         …but to collapse.
I'll always lose my path among the wreckage;
I can't keep my spirit from fleeing its traps.
What's the matter with me?
              …I solace in this relapse....

Ocean motion
Wave after wave
A sweet enclave
This commotion
The ocean enters
My heart tis true
Moving to undo
Wreckage splinters
Ocean motion
Where waves reside
Kingdom divide
Underwater salvation

I climb shelves
Looking for the right pair
And squeezing two between
He closed me amid the wreckage
The moving metal skims my bones
Jumping from the scene,
My ankles break for you
My heart leaps for you
My body is crushed for you...

I sort through this wreckage in my past, fearless
I see the end of reflections in my rainbow
And new colors coming through
I  see blue
Sifted, I find serenity
I see the end of the aftermath nearing
and memories endearing
I see you...

This weeping willow, will willingly and recklessly wreak havoc on the world we 
would see become a wonderful wreckage of wandering wonderlands. We will 
willfully wander the wastelands. Woe for those we once knew as wearers of

In latent halls, where memories dwell
Mist gathers on a shunted trolly
Abandoned wreckage
A decaying track runs forever
From shrouded heights
Fall unnamed questions
A bell’s toll fades
Resting only on the lines end
Indeed, only the end...

A Absolute wreckage

L Lights gone out in blackout consumption

C Carnage of gigantic proportions

O Oblivion through self infliction

H Hostage to addiction

O Obstructionist behaviour

L Liberation is possible

They say follow your heart,
but mine is a storm,
a beast tearing through its cage,
flooding everything in its wake.

I’ve tried to chain it,
but it slips,
a blaze of fury and wreckage,
too wild to be understood,
too raw to be contained....
