Masque of the Poem
It is how the poetry will roam
unfolding within each poem
as it follows the flow of the write
ever cascading through the night
Every rhythm and rhyme
so faithfully keeping time
with the tick of each tock
the chiming of its slowing clock
While words dance across the page
a bridge spanning beyond the age
this fidelity always faithfully kept
honoring every single tear unwept
When each truth then weds its lie
where the ocean kisses the sky
as these similes and...

The Return part 2
(Insert, a tease taking from The Return part 2
Before eyes for me to know I couldn’t see past Your eyelashes kohl,
Angry rains seem to mock me and pour down heavy and I thought when is this storm going to ever end so I drove back carefully slow,
With Mosaic emotions
Red,black,white,yellow, and violets in blooms-of oceans
I fell into sleep deprivation, dozing,
A lucid dream me holding,
My purple pen lays prostrate to his Royal soul magistrate
The written prose for your jury eyes to dilate
truth maybe hidden, patience, must wait ...
Before eyes for me to know I couldn’t see past Your eyelashes kohl,

Get Off My Back
I’ve listened to you babble
Your insidious remarks for too long
Witnessed your psychotic baffle
Whenever you felt the need to become headstrong
I’ve felt your jealous rage
As if it were brandishing my nerves
I leave traces of you on every page
Without the knowledge it deserves
I hear your grimacing cocky tone
Mocking my conscious decision to write
All the while making your presence known
We squabble for a position in this fight
I can taste the bitterness you eat
It’s like a buffet for two
Always sour never sweet
All I...
Your insidious remarks for too long
Witnessed your psychotic baffle
Whenever you felt the need to become headstrong
I’ve felt your jealous rage
As if it were brandishing my nerves
I leave traces of you on every page
Without the knowledge it deserves
I hear your grimacing cocky tone
Mocking my conscious decision to write
All the while making your presence known
We squabble for a position in this fight
I can taste the bitterness you eat
It’s like a buffet for two
Always sour never sweet

The Hollow of the Night
The night is darkest
the contrast starkest
in the predawn hours
when silence abounds
Free from the sounds
of the urban day
the traffic at play
the din of commerce
For better or worse
a magical time
steeped in deep rhyme
with all of its rhythm
As imagination does swim
in such poetic dreams
such literary schemes
gambol with the candlelight
Sharp shadows on the wall
appear to know it all
each secret
each unconfessed regret
the contrast starkest
in the predawn hours
when silence abounds
Free from the sounds
of the urban day
the traffic at play
the din of commerce
For better or worse
a magical time
steeped in deep rhyme
with all of its rhythm
As imagination does swim
in such poetic dreams
such literary schemes
gambol with the candlelight
Sharp shadows on the wall
appear to know it all
each secret
each unconfessed regret

Words Weep
Words weep
from this deep
poetic wound
drip on down
glacially
upon the blank page
as I try to gauge
what brief time
is now left for rhyme
from this deep
poetic wound
drip on down
glacially
upon the blank page
as I try to gauge
what brief time

Scop
I do so long for rhymes
from luring ancient times
when poets alone stood
beside their kings
Wielding their rings
of lofty lines
of epic verse
left not to traverse
The long longing years
with distant drying tears
from luring ancient times
when poets alone stood
beside their kings
Wielding their rings
of lofty lines
of epic verse
left not to traverse
The long longing years
with distant drying tears

Poetic Windows
Simple meadows of the mind
are not that hard to find
when one looks inside
where imagination likes to hide
Sweet trickling streams
flow like poetic dreams
carrying me along
in its silently sung song
While I draw the curtains back
reconnect to all I lack
revealing to the world
as my poetry is unfurled
Warmed in a radiant sun
each poem is then begun
with its first line
whispered by the Divine
are not that hard to find
when one looks inside
where imagination likes to hide
Sweet trickling streams
flow like poetic dreams
carrying me along
in its silently sung song
While I draw the curtains back
reconnect to all I lack
revealing to the world
as my poetry is unfurled
Warmed in a radiant sun
each poem is then begun
with its first line
whispered by the Divine

Philopoetica
Latin for "Love of Poetry"
How then to fully describe
this poetry I now inscribe
jot down upon the page
in woven stanzas rarely ever sage
Yet poems meant to be heard
every single word
finding its perfect place
leaving its subtle trace
An intrepid spill of ink
dancing on the brink
of true prosody
of some poetic rhapsody
With deep internal reflection
a spiritual resurrection
meant to be felt…
beyond these cards I am dealt ...

Zero Ohms
No resistance...
just this wavering persistence
in these postmodern days
compliant Luddite ways
Just going with the flow
yet always in the know
something about absolutely nothing
when it comes to verse
Viewing poetry as a curse
then simply doing their time
for each line of rhyme
with no hope of probation
Nor any true salvation
before the inquisition
with all of its suspicion
about this format or that
Like some literary acrobat
conforming to the norming ...

Anonymity
It is the place where I hide
a sanctuary undenied
as I erect these stanzas
weave new elements of poem
Let my dark mind roam
behind this keen disguise
while I plan each surprise
of a cryptic poetic write
Shadows aloft in the night
guide me here along
remind me how I belong
cloaked in my own darkness
Reveling in the starkness
of the pen and the page
while I seek to engage
in my dance of deception
...

Lazy Sunday
Long week
Brain aches
Too weak
Body shakes
Want sleep
Can’t think
Wanna weep
April ink
Eyes red
Paper blank
Mind dead
Trophy bank
Hunger pain
Writer’s block
Foggy rain
Static shock
Video games
Weather sucks
Mental plains
Counting ducks
Boredom wins
Circle doodles
Buying skins
Ramen noodles
Can’t cook
write/type
Close book
Need hype
Eyes hurt
Must play
Stay alert
