Last Wage
Consider the theme found in these words
etched to the paper as if truth was conversed
instead the truth falls far from the tree
descriptions of life without a reprieve
perhaps the fools would declare their dismay
at one of their own putting words to a page
the wisest among them would surely agree
poems thus written damn those who read
a disservice to mankind unless they also angst
seeing more in the less of humanity’s waste
those moments when rapture is sadly misplaced
in sanity thought to rule over the race
still...

Female Clasp
I don’t want a boyfriend
even though I’d be on the fringe
desiring the simple joys
beauty found when the same join
that attachment that most expect
masculine attached with the regret
for what’s missed on that path
normality denied in aftermath
when surety is expressed
to the object of love compressed
into a moment without a man
just hanging before a lifespan
I don’t want a boyfriend
this is my chance to ascend
to find the source of true romance
within the arms of a female clasp.

Drown Her
We were only trying to drown her
the mermaids sought to explain
innocence turned to jealousy
beauty without due constraint
all too alluring on the surface
charm cast to catch with a smile
mockery spun with delusion
until the pretender is dead
immersion is the last excursion
the waters aren’t the final escape
pay heed to the song of the sirens
consumed with the need to entrap
don’t ask the maidens for mercy
they’ll laugh in response to the plea
fun is had without payment
except for the one at joke’s...

Kisses of Debasement
I went to far at end of days
conveyed a love that few display
when deities were brought to bear
by invocations love had led
the ground quaked at the gentle tread
hinting powers beyond compare
still pained lust sought to hold
these entities beneath the soles
I kissed the god beneath their feet
enraptured by the underneath
fully stooped in shamed respect
for the position I’ll not regret
now these passions are condemned
by the souls who can’t comprehend
the extremes of embarrassment

Across the Moon
The owl flies across the moon
a spirit far from its roost
scattering mice full of fear
for the hunter marked by the sphere
there is no darkness that will hide
potential prey from the eyes
that see all in twilight’s span
when lunar beams fill the land
that satellite won’t distract
the quarry fearing winged attack
they know that doom flits above
apex predator as the horned god
scrambling supplicants run for holes
safety found with kin destroyed
survivors until another gloam
the owl flies across the...

Relic in the Mind
Access to beauty becomes the angst
when separation is the consequence
of nature showing no regard
for sensibilities of connoisseurs
those who seek the very best
comely visions are their request
just enough to know the gods
have not forgotten splendor’s charm
these reminders are now lost
in the stillness of the monk
not by virtue of holy covenant
instead the cause is spontaneous
demanding distancing in aftermath
by a world turned inside out
beauty becomes a relic in the mind
for those who find charm in...

Belief Transcends
Belief transcends the natal form
set in place by fate forlorned
for the jest now at hand
a vision some misunderstand
the outer does not display
congruency with a faith
that identity flows from the whole
with the parts then transposed
when compared to the normative
this outcome of derivatives
a new identity is expressed
now that oneness has been addressed
personhood at last declared
even though the pundits glare
at a faith that’s absolute
when belief defines a truth.

Doom is Fought
Songs are silenced in their due time
no matter the power of their rhymes
etched on paper that turns to dust
in the face of clock’s progress
don’t ask the angels to have a say
these benefactors have been sent away
they have no power in this sphere
where the tunes have disappeared
this is the nature of mortal wars
removing joy from the control
of muses asking for their thralls
to sing when all have lost resolve
against an enemy none shall surmount
still the bard will thumb their harp
defying a hush that will...

The Scents
The scents sent to entice the crowd
are designed by minds most foul
knowing smells will surely lure
the customers to their peril
this danger is not mortally based
with existence to be erased
instead the curious are invited
to partake of sniffs delightful
be they pleasing to the nose
delightful beyond blessed chance
or to terrible to contemplate
fragrant in the stink debated
each invites the tempted throngs
by aromas they truly long
the body follows the nostril’s lead
seeking what the scents proceed. ...

Finding Soaring
The wings are imagined as a curse
or the blessing if reversed
set in shadows of the mind
as flight and self coincide
either way the soul will fly
far into the waiting sky
or down below to hell’s ceiling
above the sinners who only scream
don’t damn the choice this indicates
both nature and the human race
are at risk by their pleads
asking more than they conceive
the abused will seek to flee
far beyond their maltreatment
breaking boundaries to escape
finding soaring in this grace.

Sleep Becomes
Sleep becomes the substitute
for encounters that are more true
when linkage fades from memory
no longer part of waking dreams.
if the waking is reality
instead of slumber as therapy
the mind would stay on placid themes
instead of embracing the randy
forgive adherents of that realm
as bawdy thoughts overwhelm
the subconscious will permit
a glimpse at contact surely missed
in due time life will resume
to share cold bonds as rescue
now dreams are required to compensate
for connections found to fade. ...

Corner is a Door
Sometimes the corner is a door
defying tradition as a course
what came before is in the past
flat conveyance not meant to last
the entrance or exit become the same
just as confused with none to blame
whether to come or to go
matters not when all’s disclosed
normality has been cast aside
now exposed as mostly lies
the gateway now swings both ways
as the bend denies the straight
the same is sought at junction’s bend
attraction lending a helping hand
sometimes corners support the way
blessing paths now...
