A Road of Metaphors
My poetry has been a disguise of phantoms and recollections,
Fantasies fused with realities and some differences I can’t tell,
They’ve been obscure secrets escaped through innuendos,
Implicitly in coded language loaded with ghostly bombshells.
And some never went off…
It’s been a road of metaphors filled with similes and analogies,
Allusions to the illusions of the near madness that I bore,
Allegories of the freed confined mind resigned to stay silent,
Yet a little bit of it bled through the wounds and on to the floor.
They’ve...

Centuries of Sin
He drank the poison willingly,
The venom of a thousand hypocrites,
Who spoke half truths and half lies
That they themselves could not swallow.
They made him kneel at her feet,
Poured the jugs of urine and molasses
And covered him in a red sheet,
Forever, they chanted in unison.
He kissed the fangs of the goddess
Who was bathed in blood and moonlight
As she gave him a tender smile
Filled with love and terror, that cunt!
Then they laid his body over the pile of maggots
So that his wounds would heal,
I guess they thought the...

The Other David and Goliath
Goliath, the paranoid dyslexic ephelant
Was stomping through the forest one day,
Taking a stroll down the trail in the woods,
Minding his business going about his way.
But in that spaced out peanut brain of his,
He did not notice an anthill in the road,
He stepped on it not becoming aware of,
The destruction he had just bestowed.
An army of ants came out of the flattened hill,
Mad as hell screaming "let’s go to war”
He'd destroyed their home and didn’t notice it,
It’s time for payback like never before.
So the next morning all the...

! (Eureka)
The originating fire of creation,
Reaches into the depths of imagination,
When an innovative idea is trapped,
Like faraway music lost in a fog,
In the distance I hear the prologue,
Magical ingenuity awaits to be tapped.
It lingers dormant with intention,
Anticipating the flash of invention,
Before it swiftly hits the mark,
It slowly sets the wheels in motion,
Formulating the intended notion,
Fueling and working every single part.
The inspiration rises to the surface,
Like light with committed purpose,
Deep from...

To Mother (A Prayer after the Cataclysms)
Tales from the Old Man – The Defiant Heart
We sat around the camp fire under the stars
as we felt the cool mountain breeze in our faces
Then the old man stood and walked in circles around the fire.
His tattered robes swayed in the light wind.
With his gaze on the flames he lifted his cup and began:
“In those ancient times
They raped, pillaged and exploited her
They plundered everything she had given them
Through the centuries they treated her without care
And though she always gave her love in return
The eons of abuse took a...

Rain, Rivers and Cascades
I must be dreaming,
I hear the rain outside my windows,
I can hear my kids screaming,
Enjoying the river as the water flows.
I hear a stream in the other room,
Cascades are falling through the walls,
It all seems so surreal so I assume,
The rivers runs rapidly through the halls.
So in between dream and fantasy,
I expect my bed to slowly drift me away,
Hearing splashing somewhere in reality,
But in this fond illusion I want to stay.
I can hear the water falling, rushing,
The trees are dancing in the cool breeze,...

A Steady Drive
What’s the meaning of all this?
This happiness, this suffering,
This bustling life and puzzling questions,
Like the old famous expression,
Who am I and why am I here?
Why are some meant to live in poverty and fear?
While others enjoy abundance year after year?
Is it in the cards we’re dealt even before the beginning?
When some are meant to lose while others keep winning?
Life’s not fair to those whose misfortunes come every day,
While some struggle but eventually find their way,
It’s a web of happenstances and what you find in...

Prometheus Felled
You may have not been one of the majestic giants
But you were one of the oldest
From a bygone era
A witness to this ever changing world
Silenced
Oh how the centuries must have passed
And you were there to see it all
The stories you could have told
The last of your kind
You and your brethren
What have we done?
From the dawn of man
Evolved revolved unsolved
You lived through the eras
Floods and wars
And still you remained
But it was our own curiosity
That brought your demise
Why? ...
