It transported me back to the years long past,
When I was a child at my fa...

The Quieter You Are

...ENOUGH!

I felt deaf from the ‘noise’ of information,
constantly butting, buzzing against my mantra of:
“The quieter you are… the more you… hear!”
At present, my lifestyle felt media manipulated...

Heading timorously towards an unknown goal
Ever tossed by the vicissitudes of life
Fated to partake evenly of smiles and tears 
All the paths we tread along

Premium MemberVisit To An Old Cemetery

...As far as my eyes could see were old stones
Storied lives, some remembered, most forgotten,

I wondered how many of them were misbegotte...

A Brief History of Beds

...Old beds reinventing themselves
as hammocks for the distilling
of sweat and foam
into an archive of dreams.

Rendering me anxious and edgy
At Last I have found her
Casually I hugged the body I loved most

Unwanted

...broken branches 
of a tree 
fuzzy faces 
unclear to me

 painfully imprints
genetically strand
imprint illusions

Lobster Bile

...I was afraid.
The morsel of fear laid upon my finger
It laughed at my dismay

It was quick.
Leaping from my hand
To my carnivorous cave

My moms warm garlic

...Forever young, poised on the leaping edge of time,
the child essence that lives within,
age-creased the outer casing

But they stay hidden  un...

Tugs  take the strain with a shiver, 
Ropes creak and we cast off  -

Fall In the Snow

...FALL    IN    THE    SNOW

Navigating deserted street , timorously,
Seems  ok underfoot, so branch out a little.
No ice, just hard-packed snow.
Sidewalk  looks  white, innocent, safe.
