PRISONER OF POETRY

...PRISONER OF POETRY

Is it me in this verse, a strange insight for sure
As it is someone who I don’t really recognise
Am I writing these words, or someone inside
If so, who might be playing the r...

Blank Space Craft

...The dark spill muddied my canvas: 
Made its mess, dislocated light 
And thoughtful lines to the edges 
While it claimed the center for spite.
 
It seemed like all was wrecked. 
The time I'd wor...

Present Unwrapped

...Present Unwrapped

Plan for tomorrow
live for today
the moment redeeming
 future caches 

Say what you mean
do what you say
the circle enclosing
— truth on display


(Dreamsleep: Februar...

Waiting For Godel

...Gravity is
and gravity isn’t
Based on who’s looking
perceptions command

Less for the physicist
more for the poet
Science self-serving
two feet in the sand

Pulling us forward
pushing us b...

A Yuletide Prayer

...God rest ye merry gentleman
Thank the Lord that you are able
By devious manipulation to
Keep the turkey on the table;

All praise to those good bankers 
Who in spite of committed fraud
Maintai...

Golem and Angel

...He was in love, deep, romantic love.
She was standoffish, aloof, above,
no need for pointless ideas thereof.
It was forbidden, like fox and dove.

His clay a gritty earthy mixture. 
Hers a swee...

Wholesomeness

...WHOLESOMENESS :

How bad this thing is,
For befriending colleagues he found in the office,
Who posited to have him dismissed.
In sheep cloaks they were his frenemies.
They all became very close...

Wake Up

...A million distinct lights fighting the obfuscating gloom
Distant stars blazing forever in a struggle against the velvet blackness forever doomed
Or perhaps myriad flickering candles, burning toward...

Inhale

...Inhale


my heartbeat slows,
blood sluggish
through stenotic vessels
unwilling to expand,
to breathe
to let blood flow

untenable, this suffocation
this dampening
it speaks of tired eyes,...

God Search

...
Earth bound soul went about it’s quest
Burdened by desires on his chest
Enmeshed in fears, by ego spawned
Dark despair, hoping to be blest

Before many gods, this soul fawned 
Yet...

Graced By Beauty

...Grace Of Beauty.
.
Her effervescent summer sunshine smile
Could melt the polar ice and snow
The molecular stricture of the air around her
And her grace of presence
Radiates an ambient glow
.

The Empress

...Once I sat upon your throne
to visit a familiar chair
I am the Empress overthrown
I no longer rule or scare
My face is in the picture
since 1968
There is no kind of stricture
I'm sitting at th...

Fabric of Moral Decay

...Swiftly faltering, the fabric that bonds
Bovarism intrudes, with stealth it hides
Conjuring depraved for all to bear oath
Longing for days past, dignity and pride

Severance now square, local yo...

Beck and Call

...Is your greatness unendorsed
by godly symbols old and new

Is your strength contained and held within,
as broth begets the stew

Is your message clear with no defense,
either martial or sublim...

Truth Flowing Free

...Wrestling with time,
an illusion supreme

Its trinity empiric,
three masks to deceive

Past, future, and present,
our dreams undefined

Outside of their stricture,
new presence unrhymed
