when they should be screaming out loud for justice

SeniorSitting all alone,
sipping tea, munching a scone;
elderly woman
in a quiet coffeehouse
looking for conversation.
"That was delicious",

the young one averts her gaze.
It's like that most days...
staring...

Coming HomeSomewhere, long ago, I found myself in this world.
Since then, I've been here and there, or in corners, curled.

The Evening DiesDusk
birds chirping before sleep
the sun has run away
stealing all that I love
the clouds
float past
they have stories too

marred in mad mud.
Barely begun, his brutish block,
a tackle that tore through time,
trailed by the walk of shame.
Elation fades, deflation reigns,
suspended in solitude,
exiled in emptiness.
The still dressing room droning.
He sits...

Emptiness
Intrinsic intuition tunneled through time,
drives incessant the central cognitive impulses,
surges with the sensuous waves
of enlivening enlightenment,
through the vacuity of amorphous perception.
The rhythm of time pulsates relentless
in the inner secluded space infinite,

did our brief time together
continue in your heart
did it go beyond time lost and
enter into the void as a reality
can you now reach out and touch it
bring it back as though it...

Red Velvet LustA quarter cup of melted butter
Slips quietly into the bowl.
Minuscule amounts speckled my lips
As I scatter in a mouthful of sugar.
Not the first or last time,
I will create this dish.
I bring out packages

To Miss SomeoneIt's not so easy to miss someone
you have loved or cared about:
I have loved you in ways
that can't be described;
I have held you in times
that are sad to keep in mind:
but dreams are no longer...

As he whispers to me...

Of a past you abhor and a present you hate,
You may live in your room, like a temple of doom,
But the rest of your day is...

For her every color's soul to change in—
A motionless mime with no body shroud
For singe of sun, pleasure of moon, on skin;
No silver lines to join in morning...
