DARK ENTRAILSChange vomited dark entrails
Of the bald vulture on my clan;

In the belly of the village stream,
And pulled out
Almost immediately
To choruses that had no place
When waist dance...

Love Sciences
Love Sciences
By Mark D. Stucky
If romantic love requires “chemistry,”
how elemental for love is physics?
Negative and positive charges
lustfully attract one another.
But proceed with caution!
Matter and antimatter
explosively combine and
annihilate each other!
Could other science disciplines
facilitate our quest for...

Sins ‘Tis through God’s grace we're able to withstand
inane commissions of the human mind.

We scan our thoughts where evil bides within
and wonder...

ManLight shines upon his face, the warmth embraces him.
Reflections of the past flash upon his eyes, all the good with the bad.

Preaching from SilenceA day will come—maybe not today,
Maybe not tomorrow,
But someday—
When the concept of religion will unfold before me.
Through the years, events unfold,
And always, they say, "We thank God."
I used to believe,

22-5-2024I’m not amongst them
You’d think I’d been taken along with the breeze
I’m not so fussed

An Unfinished WorkThe pages lay there empty,
The work unfinished,
Words left unsaid.
The books were not written,

“I AM not finished yet.”

He’s been around since days of yore.
His goal is to become your kin,
And corrupt your life from within.
He is a liar and a thief,
Don’t let him in, he’ll...

Of Mice and MenI am a mouse, catatonic with fear;
just trying to stay still and silent,
to survive.
Batted about by an indifferent cat;
for him a lazy afternoon,
for me an aching lifetime.
It has no idea of the torture it inflicts;

To atone for my works

To rid him off of his unwholesomeness
To cut off the tree of transgressions,

I Will Shake Your HandThe ring depicts a promise of fidelity.
I smile as you stand in your cloak.
