Can you imagine… within the silence, a dazzling dream of nirvana? ~ Quote by the poet

To give up on the...

IF YOU IMAGINE
behind me the door slams shut
i’ve entered into a time warp
my world suddenly imploding
a silence the size of a cosmic boom
enshrouding all of colorless morose
liquified into blobs amorphic
of hours converging into...

A silent teardrop
Falling silent against naked cheek…
When an emotion stuns or stings
Cutting through the composure
To free the heart of liquid poison
Toxic feelings of pain and sorrow
Grief that slashes through self-control
Leaving the heart in deep discouragement
Touching thoughts with...

Night calls softly through a wonderful silent smile
Painting poetry and prose without any guile

Filling hearts with promises of the...

Alone With SilenceShe stands by me this early day,
An overcast one, full of gray.
Observing people walking by;
They look perplexed and far away.
Their world and life have gone awry,
Where wrong is right and low is high.
And though the...

Moonlight on the Rosea vase on the windowsill
and I'm gazing at the moon
whose radiant pearly beams
dazzle rose petals
fragrance awakes my senses
midway from sunset to dawn
and the moon's my only friend
in glittering night
I am loving the nightlife
in my...

GaspGasp
Into the endless blue yonder, I drift
On decayed raft, basking in flaring sweats
Intend to espy thy foretoken gift
Onto empty dour waves and looming threats.
When must we rekindle our waned armour?
This raison d’être shalt come...

The LingeringI feel something
I do, I do
the comfort in the ache
salting the cut of my lip
the blood and her drip
sleepless nights
atoned and attested
the trials
tying me in knots
held captive
allowed only
to swing from her gallows
her hallows of eve
as...

The silence of a snowflake
if you listen carefully, the silence is beautiful ~ anonymous
Soft, like a caress, whispering
Across the naked expression
Of one who listens to the silence
That fills the dawn with light
And love that is forever
Alive inside the...

Stolen Happiness And LivelihoodForthy innocent people
were heinously shut down,
the surly morning was about to rain,
then sunrise came and mothers wailed;
I also wept for their death as that tolling bell...
the flag they loved was lowered
halfstaff, a crowd gathered and...

silence splits
ice clasps barren ground
lancet winds slice solitude …
frozen silence splits
