Stars
In the night sky's vast incandescence.
Stars whisper secrets of wind presence.
Dreams ignite with hopeful persistence.
Guiding hearts with gentle fluorescence.
Stars whisper secrets of wind presence.
Dreams ignite with hopeful persistence.
Guiding hearts with gentle fluorescence.

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.
My grandpa’s ashes
bobbing...

Reign Supreme
After the clouds have battled with thunder and lightning
There is a break between them in the skies
That’s when a light beams down like hopes and dreams
A sight to behold, a marvel to men’s eyes
The mountains are snow-capped and the foothills are green
After the rain Mother Nature always reigns supreme
There is a break between them in the skies
That’s when a light beams down like hopes and dreams
A sight to behold, a marvel to men’s eyes
The mountains are snow-capped and the foothills are green
After the rain Mother Nature always reigns supreme

Between Hurricanes
There's nothing romantic
about dying together.
There are those minutes
where one goes first,
leaving the other to suffer
the agony of what they loved most
is gone.
Staring at the corpse
of love removed,
and then waiting their turn.
Morbid then; I'd want you
to die before me.
Your pain would cease first
and it would bleed into me,
as I held you tightly.
I'd then die doubly weighted,
with our goodbyes
and emotions turmoiled.
And that's okay.
I'd cross my arms
over my chest ...
about dying together.
There are those minutes
where one goes first,
leaving the other to suffer

Staring at the corpse

to die before me.
Your pain would cease first
and it would bleed into me,

Storm
In the night your electricity
flashes upon my vein's doorsteps.
Your thunder's roar roams
my brain's craving cortex.
You are here.
No longer protected by just near.
Rain thrashes my ground,
liquid lust.
Flashing, roaring, drenching.
Invitationless.
Away blows my dress,
naked plains of flesh.
To receive your storm.
My deep soul severely
transformed.
flashes upon my vein's doorsteps.
Your thunder's roar roams
my brain's craving cortex.
You are here.
No longer protected by just near.
Rain thrashes my ground,
liquid lust.
Flashing, roaring, drenching.
Invitationless.
Away blows my dress,
naked plains of flesh.
To receive your storm.
My deep soul severely
transformed.

Within The Comfort Of Proverbs May You Find Peace
Hands cannot reach the holy grail of a blessed mind
You will attempt to find the key, however not ordained by God design
On by man’s time
And still not sip the equation of the truth as you come to find
You will attempt to find the key, however not ordained by God design

En-lightening
Turbulence throbbed sans repentance
Hurricanes assembled e-motions
Undercurrents conspired
Needling the edge of man's hood
Destined...divined in his
Erected edifice
Resolute...rigid........ready for the
Storm of her Sex crashing in
Thunderous moods
Restless is her Sea...ravenous
Unchained...unfiltered...unfettered`
Causalty be damned as
Knowledge reaps in a tsunami of waves

After Summer comes The Rains
i love the summers torrid, their Stark feel
time when the winds hold the time still
wherein the mirage waving like a dream sea
where silhouette twist their eerie entity
zenithal heat, vertical sun, burning limit
zero shadow, Dante's inferno, the sky's lit
zephyr of a sighing giant in the gaping air
under a disk flaming, sending sizzling glare
it feels like time is always and ever hot
lose any reviving, any freshening thought
but,to such flaring flames, the more i light
every flaming pyre, in the deep of night
there,...

Dear Monsoon
Dear Monsoon,
You were due mid June
Now well into July,
this is no lie:
we need you.
Please come soon.
Respectfully,
Phoenix

Between Light and Darkness
Pain has come and gone
Killing my inside
It still wants to eat
for it needs pure blood
to be in the light
But it has killed and
Consumed Dirty Blood
Which causes pain
to which my soul
is divided into
Light and Darkness
I fall in the middle
between two swords
Killing my inside
It still wants to eat
for it needs pure blood
to be in the light
But it has killed and
Consumed Dirty Blood
Which causes pain
to which my soul
is divided into
Light and Darkness
I fall in the middle
between two swords

A Shoelace Broken
With mist on the face
of thunderous clouds,
dark tides crashing
the long thick cover
of gathering storms
fathoms deep, lost,
a shoelace broken
of sea-gulls flying
out of view
with shadows of the albatross,
dying, the last voyage done,
away from the rum
on the waves setting me free
of gathering storms
of thunderous clouds,
dark tides crashing
the long thick cover
of gathering storms
fathoms deep, lost,
a shoelace broken
of sea-gulls flying
out of view
with shadows of the albatross,
dying, the last voyage done,
away from the rum
on the waves setting me free
of gathering storms

on avoiding the wind
not going out in this storm
means we’re stuck at home
this weekend is all about books
tend not to blow me over,
unless they’re really good ..
