Sister, removed
I wish I had known you better.
I wish I could say I tried.
But I – buried under small bodies
and schedules and needs,
with just enough distance between us to be
inconvenient –
And you – for so long obscured from my view,
with my lifelong tormentor between us --
I just thought we’d have more time.
Eclipsed by his tortured shadow
of bluster and opinions and judgement,
she tossed out colourful sparkles
of beauty and care into our family,
touching us all with a thoughtfulness
much deeper than...

In a seance with a tombstone
resurrecting the lonely dead
tasting creation to be fed
from Eden's naked womb
in still waters as shadows lay
echoing torrents of pain
barren embryos and dogbane

my little boat
my
little boat,
sorry
to see
that sun
go down,
now
that misty
darkness
sank
closer
to the
treetops,
i weighted
my
little boat
in a
small harbor,
the moon
overwhelming me,
i lay
awake
to watch
the stars
in their
shadowy river,
falling asleep
in my
little boat.

Some things (and places) are worth the hype
Human-made wonders
can be hit and miss
when it comes to the awe department,
but nature never disappoints.
And human nature,
when at its rare best
can be truly extraordinary.
To see night fall within seconds
under a blazing crown,
and day return just as fast –
truly worthy of all the glory,
and others will write of it
more eloquently than I.
But
to witness it with thousands
who have sat cramped in cars for hours
through towns where “traffic” means
three cars at the...

Ashes to Ashes
Slipping into haunting twilight only
without dreams taunting ghosts
touching lonely in shadow's host
around my Lenovo's alt-delete
leaving no footprints just silence
and burnt ashes of my Philip Morris
with a scent of yesterday's madness
and tears coming down like rain
without dreams taunting ghosts
touching lonely in shadow's host
around my Lenovo's alt-delete
leaving no footprints just silence
and burnt ashes of my Philip Morris
with a scent of yesterday's madness
and tears coming down like rain

Casting Shadows
Sometimes it feels like you're still with me...
With us...
Casting a long and imposing shadow
upon the ground before us
the only time in which we can still
be together as a family...
The touch of your warm embrace
lingers like a distant memory
while here with you in this field
of stone and forgotten names
Projecting your silhouette in the
waning light of this hallow place
feels almost crippling on my soul
forever judging, forever watching
I'm left to ponder my own thoughts
am I doing as...
With us...

Alone In Hospice
Through the unlit forest of the mind's labyrinth
other side of one's eye, the beggar of twilight
shadow of dark rags awaits one's fate
in headwinds of loneliness death and despair
swallowing the soul with haunting echoes
screaming from the bowery in Gotham
alone in the hospice awaiting the gospel
other side of one's eye, the beggar of twilight
shadow of dark rags awaits one's fate
in headwinds of loneliness death and despair
swallowing the soul with haunting echoes
screaming from the bowery in Gotham
alone in the hospice awaiting the gospel

A Shadow
Haunted by a dark shiver,
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....
that creeps like a shadow's quiver.
A blackening cold
spreading upon my bones.
Confronted by the raw dank,
invasive thoughts of the unknown.
Hope is seen gaunt wandering my halls.
That despair is desperate to taint.
But strength has heard the ancient call.
The brightest gold sun shines
through the shriveled berry branches.
Blessed with newborn tiny blossom enhancements.
Away from the chaotic complexity of
the dark thought's advancement.
For when a shadow exists
that belongs to no sun....

The Nobility of Poor
How long can you live in hell before you gag
on the smell of heaven, thinking brimstone's
fire would be much preferable to the burning
rays of the sun. Yet in our own small way, this
is true for all of us, we will never attack the
foundation of our Id, inventing excuses for a
plethora of sin. Hell is full of people refusing
to see the rippling consequences of their
transgressions, "I'm not my brother's keeper"
"it's a dog eat dog world" "Do unto others
before they do unto you". We invent new
religions...

Sleepless
i can't sleep...
shadows dance
upon my walls
...whispering
sleep disorder
messes me up
destroys me...
the darkness
surrounds me
...chokes me
ghosts from the
past come to life
haunting me...
counting sheep
for 10 years now
insomnia, i am done.

As If I Belong
Shadows of insomnia's embrace
stealing my mind and my dreams
a sweet half of a memory kiss
echoes whispering from cold lips
flesh upon decadent flesh
with a cold cup of death
from the dirt and blood
feeling as if I belong in this place
stealing my mind and my dreams
a sweet half of a memory kiss
echoes whispering from cold lips
flesh upon decadent flesh
with a cold cup of death
from the dirt and blood
feeling as if I belong in this place

Night Terror
I want to go to sleep now
But my mind wants to play games
It’s really dark, the dogs they bark
No night ever the same
I feel things as they crawl on me
My scalp begins to itch
My clothes no longer comfortable
Up on the bed I sit
I look out into darkness
Hold the covers to my eyes
I feel a finger touch my back
Jump up, let out a cry
The lamp it comes to life
I look around to a bare room
The room is dim and heavy
Almost like a darkness looms
There’s no one here, he’s out of town
Bring...

Hold the covers to my eyes
I feel a finger touch my back
Jump up, let out a cry
The lamp it comes to life
I look around to a bare room

Almost like a darkness looms
There’s no one here, he’s out of town
