Nothing lasts forever
There's no use exhuming
dead feelings
You'll find nothing
but
brittle bones of sordid reminder
that
nothing is immortal
Not even feelings are...

A Golden Glow
i'm as lost, as the midnight star
on a cloudy night
not a twinkle in site
my shine
lies in the shade
like a shroud
my spirit cowed
wondering whether my light will shine
if there is no-one there to see it
a lone, faraway light
lost behind a cloud
for the rest of the night
until the cloud moved
just as the sun had risen
digesting all starlight
in its golden glow

With Time
Waves surge forward
As the islet slowly erodes in the sea
Swallowed into its depths
Until it can no longer crest
To catch a breath
Submerged and interred in the seabed
Lost in a hole of nothingness
With the flowing hourglass
As the islet slowly erodes in the sea
Swallowed into its depths
Until it can no longer crest
To catch a breath
Submerged and interred in the seabed
Lost in a hole of nothingness
With the flowing hourglass

Thanking I'm Charlie Chann
To my alter ego whom I respect and trust
don't self-destruct and become my obituary
fading to dark drowning in Moo Goo Gai Pan
becoming a psychopathic narcissistic eggroll
thanking I'm Charlie Chann
don't self-destruct and become my obituary
fading to dark drowning in Moo Goo Gai Pan
becoming a psychopathic narcissistic eggroll

Blankets To Hide
Blood once fiery with passion
runs cold, dripping in bitter seasons,
snowfall without happiness
A house of cards amidst the winds
of grief and loss, reshuffled and cut to
clubs or spades, deafened by the
metronome click of the second hand as
the time of his life elapses
Walking adjacent to life but not in it,
a facade of acceptance beneath the
black blanket of death
runs cold, dripping in bitter seasons,
snowfall without happiness
A house of cards amidst the winds
of grief and loss, reshuffled and cut to
clubs or spades, deafened by the
metronome click of the second hand as
the time of his life elapses
Walking adjacent to life but not in it,
a facade of acceptance beneath the
black blanket of death

Malice, At Last
Dark Embrace
Poise and grace
I hide my cuts
With cotton and lace.
Dead, I'm in trouble
Playing the double
I shall rebuild my crown
And kingdom from rubble!
Judgement presides
The law abides
The High Court says
No taking sides!
I am dead
As the Red Queen said,
She stole my throne
Off with her head!
Guileless wraith
Losing my faith
Darkness consumes
Nothing she saith
Descend to the fire
Trapped in the mire
Alone when we know
The situation is dire. ...

I miss shadows
I miss my little light
It kept me sane
Inside the darkness of my pain
Now crawling alone
Where my shadows used to glow
They've outgrown me
Faded into a place unknown
Where is my lighter
I miss my casted friends
It kept me sane
Inside the darkness of my pain
Now crawling alone
Where my shadows used to glow
They've outgrown me
Faded into a place unknown
Where is my lighter
I miss my casted friends

SEPARATION (1990's; Galveston Island, Texas)
ill health
has kept me stuck
indoors too long again
where the only thing
that s grown
at all in me
for months on end
here lately
is this increasingly growing
swollen sense
of ever deepening
separation
for here i am
again today
stuck inside once more again
with not much
i can do at all
beyond
and aside from
my usual
daydream
window longing
moist soft clouds
fine mists falling
accumulates
into drops on leaves
to my skin calling
yet...

Weather vane,
Hurricane sugar
Gun and tonic
We can't accept card, cash only
You look at me strangely
Like I'm asking for something
Not physically possible
Can't counteroffer
Free store credit
Fraudulent check-ing someone out
Does that make me register your affection?
Alternate tenderness required, if you have it
I forfeit the remaining value of this time spent
Punching in 13 minutes late

LOVE IN MY ARMS (III)-(my 3rd revised version)-(1976; Poretto Jetty, Galveston, Texas, struggling with being GAY)
love in my arms
here then gone
comes and goes
like some rare moon tide
sunrise soon brightened
into new day
but it s clearness
only added to my
ever deepening confusions
evening arrived
only a comfortable disguise
down to the beach i walked
as night s darkness
soon fell upon me
out at the end of a jetty
from which i stared up and out
at the seawall s street lights
shining down from high above me here
reflecting mercurially out into night s ...
