Mustangs
wild horses, mustangs
galloping in the shadows
dark clouds form...teardrops
staining the pavement
o' the sirens have sung
their songs, as the crimson tide
abides on the distant shores
as fate rolls those damned dice
the banshee she does moan
you can hear her sobbing
out on the moors, in the downpour
of scattered stones...lying
markers of graves laid for the brave
culling the heard
three times she will knock
on the cobblestone wall
on weathered wings...the crow will fly
...

out on the moors, in the downpour

Parallel Universes
Dreamed in a magical mind -
Miasma into mist, dispersed,
Sent to self-same pieces,
Traveling in whirling trajectories,
Across interdimensional veils,
The pieces took their places
In each place as each piece,
Sent into sunshine like seeds,
Manifesting individuated realities
From unified fields of fields,
All along & across the veils,
Like a trillion-trillion autonomous shadows.
They say:
Molecules are measured
To facilitate perception,
Possibly they maneuver
In a state of...

Sea Turtles & See Turtles
She has shape shifting eyes, meritorious mood rings.
Seeing things, from vantage points that are beyond
The mechanisms of sight, utilized by other beings,
Who only believe… They have seen.
She taught me how to read... Her emotions.
Maybe because I was curious, maybe because she liked me…
Maybe just because.
Grey=Worried
Really blue=Happy
Green/blue green=Sad
Green=Mystery
She taught me by allowing me to spend time with her.
And I was… Maybe studious, maybe curious.

Icaros
Icarus
I have been so fascinated by Icarus my dream was to fly closer to
the sun than man or god dared.
I had the good fortune of meeting a mad scientist at a wine tasting
contest, where our capacity for the wine was appreciated.
He had a type of wax that could withstand intense heat.
I did not hesitate to order a pair of wings.
I flew higher than any god had done before, but the heat
was so intense the wax began to melt.
Like a rocket, I dived back to earth hoping to meet water.
Splashed down into the Barents ocean.
My body,...

athenian night
August in Athens is always confusing
I spent the evening looking at a white wall the moon had lit up,
waiting for the movie to start.
Staggered into a church where bearded priests handed out bags
of yesterday’s cake.
The elderly lady behind me got none, it was her second time
she had been in the line
I gave her my bag and felt good about my act of charity.
In the deep shadows of the park, I found a grotto displaying
Jesus in he looked like a sleeping angel, one painted by Caravaggio.
The painted Jesus opened his eyes smiled like an urchin...

the beginning
The beginning
Adam sat on a bough of a tree waited for his friend
The gorilla, Eva, sat in a cave tried to make a skirt of palm leaves.
The cave was warm; a burning bush had taught them how to make fire.
They lived on fruit mostly, when not stealing eggs from nests
Eggs that were about to be hatch were the best
And they had chicken and thus became meat-eaters.
Adam´s friend, the gorilla, when they played card made out of green leaves
The animal was sentinel without a moral compass.
The gorillas had thick fur which, made them look dressed,

summer Storms: Prologue
I thought I had everything. I thought I could trust those closest to me. Everything I thought I knew, was wrong. It was just oh so wrong. I had a family who loved me, friends who adored me. I did well in school, kept to myself, worked hard at a job I loved. It was during the summer of my high-school graduation where my life literally turned upside down. I went from being ‘normal’ (or whatever the closest thing to ‘normal’ was) to something else entirely.
My family wasn’t poor; in fact we were well off. Not only were we well off, but we were all close. Something that was uncommon. My...

tired angels
Tired Angels
He was a lucky man by his side angels walked
or perhaps flittered a little jostling as they all wanted to be near him.
Absentminded, he came near the fiord walked across.
He was out cashing crabs that clung to the sheer cliff wall, yes, and a plastic bucket.
He got five crabs and walked back the same way the angels sweated he had trusted
(unknowingly) their blind faith in him,
to the point when some of them were at a point of giving up.
Looking after this person is hard. One angle sighed; the others mumbled in tacit agreement. ...

Elderliness
Closer and closer they came
old women with faces made of lava
and stinking volcanic mouths.
Bodies of soil after years of drought,
dead oasis simmered
between thin thighs and haloes
of brittle hair.
They slowly stomped during ancient dust
covered their bird claw feet.
I turned and fled through a thorny bush.
Stumbled into indifference time.
Fell into a muddy lake
and drowned in a cascade of ages.

The Salty Tears, Of The Dead
On the surface, bouncing, skimming stones
Where tails of Mermaids, splashed, in myriad tones
Beneath, where lay the drifting bones
Of the locker, of the fabled Davy Jones
Lured by the Sirens, succulently seductive, drones
Now lie beside, Poseidon's gilded, hallowed throne
by Jemia
Where tails of Mermaids, splashed, in myriad tones
Beneath, where lay the drifting bones
Of the locker, of the fabled Davy Jones
Lured by the Sirens, succulently seductive, drones

equus ferrous
Equus ferrous
There is a storm blowing when blue waves crash ashore
white horses with flying mane gallop up, blocking the road.
The stallions become a river, pushing useless cars aside
to drown in their futility.
The town below is a lake, rats escaping the sewers runs
up to the third-floor frightening people with their anger
eat babies’ eyes.
A new generation of the unseeing kind, the previous one
could see but didn´t understand busy
as they were playing with the cell phones taking selfies.
Everything ends, calm sea the wild...
