In our silence
This is where we find
darkness lurking
where there was
once light
We find apathy
where we once screamed
& we find hate hiding
where there was
once love
In our silence
we have planted
tentacles of technology
that creep & crawl
thru our consciousness
crunching on blood
& bone
with crazy Frankenstein
teeth & claws
In our silence
we are frozen figures
of fear
waiting for the right
fucking moment
to point the gun
& pull
the trigger ...

Hitler, the artist
Hitler, the artist
It is Christmas Eve, and the TV has nothing to offer
but sentimental tunes and the endless stories of how
a rich man became nice and gave a poor family
succor for the evening.
I wonder what God gave his son for his birthday?
He had suffered in his name
a lot Flicking through the Internet's many channels
I came across Hitler's drawing of Santa Claus
A haunted, suspicious Santa casting a side glance to see
if anyone was making fun of him
and the revenge he would take if anyone dared.

graves and bridges
the virtues of disinterested benevolence
“If you want to be a bridge of hope to the world, you’ve got
to allow yourself to be walked on.”—Tommy Barnett
where graves proliferate,
no bonafide
friend may commiserate
with amplified
disdain, to change a world
of indigents,
across life's curtain hurled
like accidents.
let's bridges build, instead,
to span the gap
between the starved and fed;
unite the map
between haves and have-nots.
let ebony
and ivory no blots
cast on the sea.

Leaking Breath
I trace with this dulled edge
A gaping mouth
That bleeds with every breath
Suffocated by its self saving attempts
Scabs overbear gurgled screams
I plead to finish seeping out
For the wrong reasons
Isn't it obvious I didn’t press hard enough?

Shepherd Moons
Shepherd Moons
You with your eyes that study me,
read me only to receive a scrambled signal.
Static on an old television screen.
The beginning of the “Big Bang” or so they say.
There is no sense here.
There is no logic.
You watch.
You look but I am out of focus.
I am “away.”
A moment of time in repetition.
You keep stillborn puppies in a glass jar
yet I am the one on medication.
But is that not what makes you notice?
I notice you.
You with your top shirt buttons undone. ...

God Of Crows
Wire mesh splatter
Just all feathers and talons
matter of talent
painted from blood of the evidence
Heavens just a place of mind
mine's like minefield
calmer on the outside
out sized karma by age 9
fitted for a crown that wouldn't fit
now it sits wrapped around the horns
persuaded by an outside force,
of course the worse has better nails
For the Devil's in the details
and when I try to kneel
my feet fail
Slipping on an outdated concept
and causing offense and pandemonium
I'm as phony as they come
Just all feathers and talons
matter of talent
painted from blood of the evidence
Heavens just a place of mind
mine's like minefield
calmer on the outside
out sized karma by age 9
fitted for a crown that wouldn't fit
now it sits wrapped around the horns
persuaded by an outside force,
of course the worse has better nails
For the Devil's in the details
and when I try to kneel
my feet fail
Slipping on an outdated concept
and causing offense and pandemonium
I'm as phony as they come

Echoes of Loss in Sterile Halls
In sterile halls where hope is thin,
I tread with shadows, fears within.
Hospitals echo with a silent plea,
Relatives lost, no solace for me.
Machines hum, a somber tune,
Each beep, a reminder of a life too soon.
White walls bear witness to the pain,
A sorrowful dance in a relentless refrain.
Families gathered, hearts entwined,
In corridors of despair, solace hard to find.
A tale of struggle, of battles fought,
But victory elusive, leaving lessons taught.
I hate the grip that illness wields,
Taking loved ones,...
I tread with shadows, fears within.
Hospitals echo with a silent plea,
Relatives lost, no solace for me.
Machines hum, a somber tune,
Each beep, a reminder of a life too soon.
White walls bear witness to the pain,
A sorrowful dance in a relentless refrain.
Families gathered, hearts entwined,
In corridors of despair, solace hard to find.
A tale of struggle, of battles fought,
But victory elusive, leaving lessons taught.
I hate the grip that illness wields,
Taking loved ones,...

Death Signed
The day started like any other
Just awaiting death to accept an invitation
We’ve all given with forged signatures
Floating a little more south than usual
My state of mind is like a rickety bridge
I like to burn it at both sides
standing center in the eclipse
Impending cataclysmic abysses
don’t frighten me as fast
As feeling empty in a room so full
I feel I won’t be missed, maybe that’s the point
I don’t want a single memory to hold hostage your happy thoughts
When it took the present to taint the past
I burrow deep with...

Weeping Crone & co
"Consent"
Change the record.
A quarter of a century of self pity is taking the piss.
There are a lot people in the world who have died from things that they could not control, who did not have the choice of life and death, who persevered to survive right to the end, who did everything they could to live...
These are the people you need to remember..
Not the ones who give up before even trying to get over the first hurdle..
You have to fight.
Keep going.
Resilience.
Get over it.

Words With Energy Out.
A Word Without Energy
poetry is madness
a senseless vocation
an unanswerable exclamation
to unsolvable question
poetry is blame
a literary shame
to notorious fame
doing a wordy game
poetry is poverty
a fake certainty
a paper celebrity
as wealth is illitracy
i spent my lifetime
chewing on rhyme
my body parts are lame
i lost my mind
that man is poor
a shepherd outdoors
a tramp indoors
mercy I implore
take the word from me
if...

Soulful Kind
While they all fall in love with her smile she waits for one who will fall in love with her eyes and everything she hides . You can tell there is something amiss by her quick reply I’m fine . It is a monosyllabic brush off . If you artificially appraise her that’s all you’re going to get . She’s waiting on a communication of the soulful kind .
