When The Small Rivers Overflow
In the deep little valley i live
centered within mountain hills
in winter the rivers flow
the flood brings lethal chill
The winters are no more boon
the summers too; no less heat
seasons frequently do overlap
they can, even in one day meet
An eerie area, an oddity spot
where today's sheep is morrow's wolf
and the morning is sunny and hot
the ev'ning turns cold like tomb
When morning is sweaty and dull
the afternoon is stormy and...

Memoirs
2024
A dream befell me as I slept
of funnel cloud...aspin;
long latent in my mind, it kept,
until it might begin.
It gave me scenes of wrack and rout
by dark tornadic force,
and as it smashed its course about
I felt a dread remorse.
I knew I was within its path
so to a car I fled
and belted in before the wrath
where Mother Nature tread.
And as the car began to lift,
aswirl and abrupt,
that narrative was cast adrift
when...

I see you all clear now see me
with recognition I remember you brothers
of Heaven before we lay eyes on Her
there is a dark woman who claims he encountered her not created her
she was seduced and drew Her portrait
then chained her
after learning her magics
he did dominate her using Adam to humiliate Her
He wanted a show in other words
her children with him rejected
because they were born of his darkness and rape
in terror she released them to Lu to care for
he would not give her peace they found heaven in hell
and Lu taught them self love

OUT IN THE SEA
The storms are rising
Skies and clouds are compromising
So many plants will be dying
Everyone's running, everyone is hiding
The birds in bundles start flying ...
Could this be like Noah's days of surviving?
But You hear mermaid sirens
They sound beautiful on the evening horizon
There's no doubt the oceans shining
So I take out my diary and start writing
Out in the sea
Where it's just you and me
It's so dark not much you can see
Out in the sea

From the death throes of empty gas pumps...
I wander amidst a massive wasteland
where barren grocery shelves
lay exposed, open and void
sustenance morphs to what is easiest
something canned - this or that
snacks you never normally buy
but have become standard 'hurricane food'
rapidly checking off my precarious prep list
the humdrum of reality topples
into a surrealistic excursion
in search of the last package of D batteries
it makes for some stark discoveries
clearing this fog of dreadful anticipation

The Chaser
Walternate Universe – OKIO-2305
The skies were dark as storms formed in the distant horizon
The braces indicated that my alternate was somewhere near
The landscape was wide and with nothing but open fields
As the approaching thunder and lightning caused some fear
Then in the distance I could see the contours in quick flashes
Funnels descended from the heavens right into the ground
I stood in the middle of that open field by the side of the road
Until suddenly rain out of nowhere started pouring down
More lightning and flashes...

Category Five - Direct Hit
A nail from a
missing shingle
caught my
leggings
as I watched the
bloated carcass
of my neighbor’s dog
drift past
the rain gutters.
I could hear survivor
cries in the distance
and I added my
voice to theirs
in some vain
hope that
helicopter
salvation,
was real.
Beneath my cold
wet,
shoeless,
body
lies the
sodden
remains of
a life.

The Fifth Season
the prologue.}
(~Begin again)
He knew he didn’t know,
What it really meant to be in love.
(~Eleven’s end)
He made his promises,
But he couldn’t stop,
He couldn’t stop.
(~West is the dawn)
“I just need time to myself,
When I’m done, I’ll come back running.”
That was two mere months before,
His next words crystallized my heart.
(~A twilight warns)
“The timing doesn’t feel right,
But I still wanna be by your side.”
You’ll always be in my heart, baby~

The Angler
Where did my page go? The shore rumbled. A flurry of camels trotted along the coast. The ivory fabric draping over the heads of distant princes—at least fifteen princes, would you believe it?—cracked like whips. They rode on horses of platinum and marble. My book plummeted. It danced upon the floor of the ship, in rhythm with the bustling party below the Mediterranean Sea.
My page did not matter. I let its wisdom vanish into the burst of colour, the brilliance: the pungent meals, the booming, poignant music. And that did not matter. All of the laws of the universe, as old as time,...

Last Tango Before Katrina
Last Tango Before Katrina
The miles showed on his face in burnt etchings of New Orleans sun. He sat at the same table every day, sipping coffee and staring out the window at the Algiers street scene. He seemed to be lost in a universe Kate couldn’t fathom. His world was beyond her reach, cloaked in the darkness of his inward gaze. Something about his remoteness beckoned her. She longed to breach his inner kingdom. But how could she penetrate this elusive creature? He made her think of some mythical beast, like a unicorn, who could never be captured.
