Ophelia
Sad how the poems she wrote
were the only things to float
above the dead weight of her life

life is theatre
ways out of the city were the
gates; he considered aldgate
as good as any other than
that he thought of new cross gate,
london bridge and the ferry
that would row you across
the river to southwark, to the globe, unimaginable escape ..

I mean, you won’t come up

night’s dream all you like ..

and, sat in the wings ..
I’ve seen many plays
at the globe, but the one
that sticks out was
a midsummer nights
dream, when we sat in
the wings of faerie ..

Punctuate
To punctuate or not
to punctuate
that is the question
in sorest need of a mark
in a poem that is stark
without a comma
without a colon
so willing to forsake
each for a line break
or an indentation
in lieu of any new punctuation
to punctuate
that is the question
in sorest need of a mark
in a poem that is stark
without a comma
without a colon
so willing to forsake
each for a line break
or an indentation

His Due
I’m living for giving
the Devil his due” ~ B.O.C.
How I have truly tried
to deny this darkest side
banishing it into the night
bury it deep in the write
Where words I cannot say
don costumes for this play
walk in a drunken swagger
concealing another dagger
Even Lady MacBeth’s spot
deserved what it finally got
a little poetic flood
of the old man’s blood
While these marching trees
whisper poetry on the breeze
try again to explain
all these things to the Thane ...

Poetry of the Trees
Fair is foul, foul is fair” ~ Shakespeare
I still hear each whispered line
upon every tangled vine
each rustling of dying leaves
by an ever fickle breeze
Words recited long ago
before the first snow
after the last rain
had finally forgotten its pain
It is carried upon the wind
with each wish I now rescind
in the name of false verity
with all of its lying sincerity
For complicated times
demand simple rhymes
to help clear the air
when foul is fair
While I decipher all...

Dreamscape
To sleep - perchance
to dream” ~ Hamlet
Within a dreamless sleep
or even a sleepless dream
it always still does seem
there is some mystery to keep
As I try to fathom its deep
another sad salted stream
refuting any cheerful gleam
with these endless tears I weep
While I search for words to find
what hides now beneath the drape
Despite quaint manners I do mind
yet cannot ever hope to escape
All of these facets thus designed...

Chimed
Sweet bells jangled out of tune" ~ Ophelia in Hamlet
What news does the sexton bring
about these pitted bells to ring
This music left here scrawled
in torn reason tattered and sprawled
Madness has more than mere danger
in its own distilled anger
Fills the air that surrounds
with its true discordant sounds
Leaving me with little more
than just a threadbare score
All of my poetry left unrhymed
each time the waning hour is chimed
What news does the sexton bring
about these pitted bells to ring
This music left here scrawled
in torn reason tattered and sprawled
Madness has more than mere danger
in its own distilled anger
Fills the air that surrounds
with its true discordant sounds
Leaving me with little more
than just a threadbare score
All of my poetry left unrhymed
each time the waning hour is chimed

This Very Spot
Out, damned spot! Out I say!" ~ Shakespeare
For what is this ink upon the page
but a bloody casting of rage
meant to stain
meant to mar
just another wound bled
left right here to be read
or better yet...

Foggedly
As in revenge, have suck'd up from the sea
contagious fogs" ~ Shakespeare
I do fear there is nothing as clear
as revenge with all of its fogged folly
short sharp blades
replace barbed tongued trades
in a duel
in a dance
that scores its own music
for vague vagary is a fine finery
making a new weather
able to tickle the feather
coax the jittery quill
into a messy premature spill
