Missed It By this Much
What is a deadline,
but an imaginary construct
devised by aristocracy.
to keep the peasants busy.
Personally I enjoy them.
I thrill at the pressure
of cutting them fine.
So much so
that I do it all the time.
Just for fun I’ll miss one.
Maybe intentionally stumble
and let it pass
Or procrastinate on purpose,
and hang back awhile
Just to show I’m humble…
like the rank and file.
But I do it with style
and Cheshire Cat smile
So, I did some etymology
On it’s sobering origin

Sonnet Nr.03 — Tragedy in Gaza
In the Gaza Extermination Zone
unacceptable by any measure
the dogged pursuit of Hamas erasure
kills civilians in and out of their homes;
as buildings collapse, hear the crunch of bones
relentless missiles fired with a leisure
that clock religious measure-for-treasure
dating back to fantasy chromosomes
Strange, Palestinians too are Semitic
Jewish-Arab brotherhood rejected
extremists in charge, apocalyptic,
fellow humans march for peace, suspected
meanwhile,...

Midnight Fireworks
New Year's Eve fireworks are just an excuse
An artificially created distracting ruse
So no one will notice me hiding out in plain sight
With two lonely lips and no one to kiss at midnight
Torturing myself with the pretense of enjoying explosions
To drowned out the sound of my heart's exploding emotions
Out in the cold Winter air where my frost covered eyes
Glazed over frozen behind crystal tears and white lies
Won't seem so out of place on my pitiful crystalized face
As I dream of a lover dressed in vaporous white...

These Voices In My Head
Slowly I'm fading away into isolation
My soul is drifting into hibernation
Scoured by my own flames of condemnation
Drowning so deep there is no salvation
I see no saving bright light
I've lost my ability to fight
As exhaustion takes control
I've granted it access to my soul
No more tears can numb this pain
Every teardrop cried in vain
All my emotions have faded away
My blue skies have turned into grey
I'm tired of fighting a losing battle
These voices in my head has me unsettle
It's draining me from the...

Dead but Never Gone
Something about you just standing there,
So alive and well in my memories comes
Roaring back into my lungs like the air
I breathe every day. You left the crumbs
Behind for me to follow because even
Though you are as dead as the soft soil
Beneath my delicate feet and the coffin
Buried deep you still make my blood boil
And my heart race. You still remind me
I am never alone as the strong whispers
Of the wind tell me we are finally free.
I always remember interlacing our fingers
Together like we finally belonged to
Each other. I...

In My Dreams
in my dreams you're all mine
until the end of time
it's where I can hold you close
take off all your clothes
passionately kiss you all night
way into the morning light
you come and give my heart a hug
while I try to give yours a tug
you come into my world
while I give yours a whirl
where we are not afraid to love
so come on lets fly like doves
our juices flow all over
you're my four leaf clover

Winter Skies
Doubts rain down from winter skies
the chill in my soul
mirrored
in overcast heaven.
Am I worthy of this life
is anyone?
My purpose proposed
my intent disposed
that leaves me wanting for something
more.
Too late
my words run dry
finding solace in heaven and hell
and that
in a nutshell
a crisis of spirit
seeking meaning in rhyme
and a new paradigm
praying for love, settling for lust
doubting my sanity
filling my life with vanity ...

When He Visited Her On The Porn Film Set
Lucy lets out a smile after
Oliver said that he would love
her no matter what before something
making her robe drop in front of Joey.
