I am home.
A house of cards over a river
of tears, stilted upon matchsticks
burning at both ends.
I’ll be drowning soon,
There is a flood coming.
Bursting through the walls of
emotional dams, striping my
personal landscape bare until I’m
left raw and alone.
Trapped in the debris field of regret.
Thrust into the maddening current
of popular trends and media manipulation.
Out of control and heading for the falls.
Spiraling downward, falling into
darkness, self defeating voices claw
with contempt while a man’s...

The Locksmith
The locksmith possessed tools galore.
From inside he can hear the lure
of my core's whispering floors.
Secret lives hidden behind my locked doors.
Good things thoughts are silently concealed.
Or are they parading around like disguised reveals?
Helpless to his unlocking eyes
A devilish burglar blue demise.
Stole my guarded secrets.
Seizing unauthorized bits.
Dismantling my broken stars.
My vaulted labyrinth's stand ajar.
He has systematically unlocked
my deepest far.
Upon the mechanism of my soul
rest his thousand...

Wake Up!
Time marches on, relentless, unstirred,
Unaware of events,
Events that might alter
The very essence of our shared realm.
The cosmic web shifts, threads anew,
Neither the present
Nor the future
Can claim certainty's helm.
A mist obscures our collective sight,
Save for a few who stand in the light.
Fed with spoonfuls of crafted tales,
Our minds shaped to fit their scales.
We wander through life's foggy veil,
Like somnambulists on a well-trodden trail.
Conditioned beings in an endless cycle,

Silent - Return To The House (3)
Two Years Ago, Gavin
Scared of an old man? You'd think, no way. But believe me, hearing that voice on the stairs really freaked us out because it was so unexpected.
Thick darkness of the storage room.
And then the door opening, letting in light.
Lucy's face has gone chalky pale. As if she was ill or something.
'Oh,' Arthur Harlesden said. 'I was looking for someone. I thought they might be in here.'
'Oh,' I echoed. 'Yeah, right.'
'I was looking for one of the young apprentices from Terence's...

They won’t believe you anyway.
A neurological pathos of nightmares
spins webs of malignancy winding through
my mind.
It breeds a silent desperation for which
I isolate in kind.
Blood pressure forces the mercury
to climb as I’m blistered by an anger
that I simply cannot find.
Terrorizing memories looped to
constantly remind.
Tuned for war in laboratories that do not
exist. To speak such things is insanity, so
in lies the perfection.
Led beside the still waters where there
wasn’t a reflection.

used
passed from one
to another,
a gift
of torment,
she hid away
her emotions,
drugging
her memories
so she can survive,
returning
to the scene
of the crime,
she is bled
as society
passes judgement
on her,
degrading her,
she loses her will
to keep fighting,
her desire to survive.

Should a person, say, a Christian, forgo his faith?
He can say Christianity means nothing to him
for most people, this is true, only they are deluding themselves
everyone born under a Western sky will soon see that
most things have religious context, even down to our thoughts
we use a thinking channel based on the scriptures in the bible
Thake books, most novels have a theme that is moral
we believe in sin and redemption
we also think the Ten Commandments address religious issues

Winter's Secrets
" Those who don't believe in magic, will never find it" -
Roald Dahl
A magical glimpse at winter's secrets.
Behold the mysterious footprints
upon the frozen powder's bed.
It's the words we don't say
that amplify the ached silence in my head.
The soft tracks lure imagination
with their ghostly glow.
At the scene earlier, a blood red cardinal
perched in the stark white snow.
Another peaceful moment of heart glow.
Winter's startling secrets grant joy
May the return to reality be forever slow.

beyond closed doors
the memory retains the oddest things
scraps of random this & that
storing information for later retrieval
though how it knows what will one day be important...
...is beyond my comprehension
I remember the first time I kissed you in public
you were both shocked & delighted
because you came from a time & place
where such things were forbidden
I've never been one to keep my loyalty hidden
fingers linked walking down the street
...to me it was no big deal
a casual display of affection
much treasured physical contact...
