Genocide by Prescription

...In the spirals of our ancient code lie secrets
No pill boasts on its glossy label:
We are the cradle of the human genome,
Yet our maps remain blank in global trials.

Life has taken a rebirth.
Barren spaces, adorned in kaleidoscopic colours.
Sunlight glistens, daffodils and daisies spring.
The heavenly music of b...

Shuffling Souls in Shifting Sands

...
Shifting standards in drifting sands,
where forgiveness is a sundae treat,

by dealing cards face-up, 
and uncount...

A mask they wear, so smooth, so bright,
Concealing voids that shun the light.
Their eyes, untroubled by the...

Arthurian Affirmations

...
 I Am A King, Royal is the Stand
 Never Tethered, Just a Vagabond on the Precipice of Zenith Of Man
 On High Ground, I Stand Alone
 Noble and Chivalrous, No match for The Stone

Why I am writing

On a quest 
    of eternity’s profoundly puzzling

Blessed with an isolated destiny, with an unknown hope.
Their deeds seem to precede the first accusation of t...

The Hopeless Case

alone in her pew 

Begging the Lord

...

                                          Electrifying chords,
