The End Of Our Journey
I will try & reach the end
To see what I've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of an era
Let us go to the end
To see what we've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of our journey
This star once shined so bright
It is now a death star
Some have escaped, others will not
And the countdown to extinction has begun
Will there be new horizons and beyond?
Or is this the end to many of our identities?
It is up to you and only you to make that final decision
To see what I've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of an era
Let us go to the end
To see what we've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of our journey
This star once shined so bright
It is now a death star
Some have escaped, others will not
And the countdown to extinction has begun
Will there be new horizons and beyond?
Or is this the end to many of our identities?
It is up to you and only you to make that final decision

The Land of Stuck
I moan far too much
about being stuck.
Stuck in writer’s block.
Stuck in expectations.
Stuck in fear of rejection.
Stuck has become
a mighty comfortable place,
requiring
nothing.
In the Land of Stuck, I don’t have to
contend with comparison or judgement.
I don’t have to worry about the possibility
of my words having real power.
I don’t have to lose the people
who can’t see me.
I don’t have to get better at my craft,
because it serves no purpose.
Now my Values are getting impatient
with...

Frankenstein
a wicked little reminder of no importance nagged at me
My thoughts grew cold, and I shut out the feeling
As is my way when something becomes uncomfortable
It has a pesky way of emerging elsewhere
For example, I am confronted with those around me
touching on the topic I'm trying to avoid
Nature herself will speak, making cloud formations
The creator whispers in mysterious ways
Even AI will find my pulse in my computer algorithms
She'll give me helpful little tips I didn't want
Let's just say she diagnoses me
Feeling depressed?...

Channeling Shadows
In the dim-lit chamber, the air grows thin.
The psychographer draws the specter in.
Quill in hand, trembling, eager to scribe.
Echoes of Poe dark whispers imbibe.
The raven stirs, though fleshless it stays.
Its shadow looms eternal in haze.
"Speak," pleads the vessel, a soul unwinded.
Through fingertips flows the long-silenced mind.
Words spill forth, grotesque and divine.
Lines of sorrow, of death’s cold design.
Each phrase etched in despair’s black tongue.
An ode to the lost, the morbid unsung.

...and Song
With cadence wove into each breath
true bards must celebrate
fair rhythm up until our death
or equal inert state.
But till that end we live and love
and do the best we can
in sharing all the gist thereof...
blown like the flutes of Pan!
A gourd or reed, or tube of wood,
are only needing lips
to tease the tune that girls should...
from their carnal courtships!
Where's an Eden better than this...
where we poets belong?

What is This
When fingertips hover over the keys
Or twirl the barrel of the pen
Trying to force the expression
A frustration sets in
Even though the emotion lingers
The words are stuck at the dam
Suddenly
Like a gentle breeze coming through the door
A thought crosses the mind
A key word
Like a tiny spark of invention that makes you ask
What is this?
It’s the muse
Awakened
Gentle hands on your shoulder
Whispering

Scatter-braining
Amid another backyard piss
it suddenly occurred to me
that Pasithea and Attis
might look good on Pluto T.V.
And the unjust have advantage
in our indifferent universe;
harder than ever to manage
when the quislings are getting worse.
But fire, moonlight, and Beach beer,
saw me past the witching hour;
the old Christmas tree crackling near...
with explosive Yule power!
The eldritch adherents of love,
comic scholarship, and ale,
and the sundry mélange thereof,
at midnight...hearty and hale!

This is Me
I have begun the process of backing up my poems.
I changed my profile picture, so if you ever wondered who I was,
this is "Seed". This is me.
Click on the picture than click it again to see the whole picture.

Falling from Underground
I was young and naive
but could do a word weave
and sometimes it was good
Then I went Deep Underground
You wouldn't believe what I found
Something I never thought I would
A community of my people
Making poetry look simple
I wrote from my deepest passions
I shared a few comments
and got a few compliments
I even joined some competitions
If only we all could be sitting in a room
with a stage and a mike to read a poem

When We Cross
I’m often amazed at the insightful musings of others
Not just in their intellect
But also in the spiritual sense of being and understanding
As if clarity has been achieved through the obstacles they’ve faced
Perception comes at different times and different levels
Especially when we’re caught up in those moments of unity
Poetry seems to capture it perfectly
Making our journey through this human experience
That much more fantastic
