My Empty House
Saddle sore from riding the dark, but the laggards fall in my dust. As the anvil strikes my gothic inkwell of the friar's pen. But there is no one here but the dark and the moon's monkeyshines knocking at my door. But the dark is no stranger when caressing its shadow. When silently it wheezes as if death looking over my shoulder into my empty house as Mirriam - Webster's ghost. Eying my glossary and pulling at my chains of a wayfarer host.

Everyday Portraits
You write poems
I send you images
My poems are not poems
They're narratives
Lives that might have been lived
Fantasies

I think you’ll find I am not a spill, Sir
Listen
I’m over the ‘s’ word
implying only
that these lines
were accidents
that this poem flowed
with purpose and grace,
filtering itself until pure
there’s no river here;
not even a damn pond
I don’t pour majestically
from babbling brooks of dreams,
paddling half-heartedly
in the shallow pools of cynicism
neither should I be compared
to dry rice
milk
a loose shit
on the way out—
I want my words
to strike the Earth
like a wet lamb ...

To Poetry and Beyond
I could string precise words together to tell a story or make lines look neat and pretty
I can take you from the thoughts in your mind to another location within mine
I can draw a line in ink for you to follow with ease
I can piece together a profound poignant vocabulary to create a bright mosaic of sound
Or I could rhyme to the rhythm of your heart with art to impart
I can present life lessons or simple truths as tiny wrapped gifts to share
I have the ability to maintain your attention for a literary mile and make it worthwhile
But alas, none of these...

Book Of Rhymes 2
I'm a man that can stand on his own two feet
I'm a humble empath but I'm far from sweet
I've accomplished feats that I didn't think I could
Survived more storms than I thought I would
Stood on my square; remaining firmly there
Trials & tribulations have caused gray hair
Life ain't fair nor a crystal stair for many
Trying to evade negative energy
Could lead symphonies of tiny violins
Won't do it because the struggle never ends
They're appended to this thing that we call life
Only the strong survive; enduring...

I'm beginning my days
Half asleep
Somewhere down deep
But not trapped in a daze
Oh no I gaze
So slow
into the minds game
No guilt no pain
No more hopes
The last of joys withered blades
I turn to face what's left
Watch as I fade away
Sacred I stare into abyss
It felt as if I wasn't missed
But passion I swear happens
Said I was locked in a kiss
And my spirit flies
Between time with angled eyes
And I meet the world at my grave
While here and well
in my comfy comforter...

It felt as if I wasn't missed

Said I was locked in a kiss
And my spirit flies
Between time with angled eyes
And I meet the world at my grave

POOLSIDE APOCALYPTO (8-29-2010, 2:00pm, Palm Springs, California)
what more to do
with words
seems little point
to even ponder
now
let go
somehow
the old familiar
inner call
i sense
feel and hear
still alive
still astir inside
alert within
this temporal mask
of outer shell
i only think
i am
wherein resides
the deeper truth
of spirit
guided being
now triggered
here again
within the subtle
whispering song
of early falls
cool desert breeze
rushing through
these slithering tongues

SILENT SCREAMING (4-18-1990, North Park, San Diego, California)
without a car
i drive
that stretch
of my twisted
imagination
to a place
just far enough
away
where i
can see
more clearly
the nightmare
edges
of my lifes
unfulfilled
unrequited
incomplete
broken dreams
as i park
my grievous hearts
dying embers
in the darkness
right next to
this smoldering
ghost heap
of all my
lingering
vanquished hopes
its flickering
sparks
so dim now
yet still
they haunt
my way enough
that no one
other...
