The Diversity Of Dialect

...Anything of substance now silent,
no nuance in bony dialect;
Floundering in a devoid ocean 
we are starving for fluid language;
Razor thin cuts painful and shallow 
banal waters lack diversity;

The Call of the Grimoire

"The Call of the Grimoire" 


when Exalibur was retrieved 

from the rock, then foolishly 
and irretrievably lost 
in that dreadful battle most worthless

Deep Beneath the Ocean

...The azure ocean, home to the embedded enormous incomprehensible riches of mysteries and riddles,
More than the Mars, lies unfathomed, underneath the conundrum of oceanic colossal rhythms.

The Passing

...The velvet sky was strangely quiet...
    The Earth still and hushed beneath my feet.
No mountains groaned, no crumbling stone
    Giving voice to my defeat.
The lake... calm and placid like mirr...

- This All Could Be -

...The garden of love
Hearts that grow from nothing
Is it possible ?
Silver light has woven my dreams

At the sight of beauty
Life is power and breath
Laughin’, spinnin’, swingin’ all day

Raven

...Raven

He riffled through his thoughts erecting a wall;
black eyes from unplumbed depth of shifting sea.
Gray as gray, as the raven mocks and pin
with a withering look a prostrate paw...

In the Shadows of Reality

...He towers as tall as the tallest tree,
wide as the lateral branches extend,

...To only achieve one’s aim is surely

no others on this earth to see 

did feel and breathe and taste and know 

each here and there of each of us
 
and so

we did become that simplest most unpl...

Harpoon

...In the unplumbed depths
of whales’ deep-held breaths
a singular shaft
fired with force from the aft
twists to it end.

Deep in the dark
where reality lies stark
a flittering thought
lies une...

Tears On the Wind

...A sweet broad smile, a million tears behind,
Aching heart invisible, so is the distressed mind,
Disgust and repulsion, the soul is shuddered, 
Repose follows a burst out, tears on the wind !

Birth of a Poem

...Birth of A Poem

What can be done with these pedestrian morsels?
I have tasted unformed clay before.

Phrases plead to be thrown into
the redeeming realm of manifestation.

Pushing to be meta...

secure in terracotta packed with soil,
to sit awhile before my ritual humiliation.
Soon I will be baubled,
showy, gaudy, tinselled –
