Dead Bodies
Delight found in the ugliest of places
Dead bodies evidence of crimes committed
Shocking reality existing in the desecrated world
Telling an ongoing story
Fortified and solidified into normal existence
Turning sobriety into insanity
Tales no longer to be told by the dead
A tool powerful in starting and ending wars throughout centuries
Swallowing the bitter pill of truth sobering minds
Table discussions planning demise
Seated now relishing blood of a tasteless victory
Departing to leave no peace behind
Saving only their own hides ...

Random Acts Pray For Awareness
Can’t cure the feeling.
Have to go.
But today the clouds are extra dark.
Minutes passed by and people fought for chaos.
Lives lost and some not retrieved.
Years pass by as they want to be heard from beyond the ash.
Have to go.
But today the clouds are extra dark.
Minutes passed by and people fought for chaos.
Lives lost and some not retrieved.
Years pass by as they want to be heard from beyond the ash.

Vesuvius
Dreamscape.
Climbing high to feel.
Seeing you standing.
Your hands in the air.
A wildness to your eyes.
Doom approaches.
The sky turns black.
Shadows rush to drown the light.
Feelings decline along with outlook.
Horizons shrink.
Evil fills the void left by hope.
We embrace to find our souls.
Moons bleed red.
The earth shakes .
Clouds burst with fire.
Heaven cries from eternity.
Skin peels in the heat.
Holding tight we melt.
In ash we fuse.
Held in history.
A sweet kiss to...

Where I Was
I was in a school assembly when I heard.
Sat cross-legged on the floor,
near the back-left doors because
the older kids always sat at
the rear of the assembly hall. We were
a sea of green in our school uniforms.
A girl started crying and had
to be let out. Her uncle may or
may not have been in one of the towers.
That’s my only memory of September,
2001, the month when our
millennium truly began.

Cowardly Terrorists
Cowardly terrorists caused many people a great deal of sorrow.
On September 11, 2001, 2,996 people would have no tomorrow.
Many people died because a few planes were hijacked.
Almost 3,000 people died and they won't be coming back.
At those innocent people's funerals, Many people showed respect by sending flowers.
All because those terrorists caused those planes to crash into the World Trade Towers.
Twenty years ago today, many had good reason to be afraid.
Time sure does fly, it doesn't seem like it has been two decades.

Preservation
Lapping waves gently contact
the shore -
where sits,
Just Her.
Limpid pools withholding tears.
Solemnity of sorrow
so sincere -
serene
almost.
She is elemental
supernal,
heart -
shaped in art.
Solitary as a ghost
unseen
An abyss of inky things
before her
seen
unseen
Sacred vigil
of the veil
Swaying
Waves
lapping
Outside of time
reason
&
rhyme
Portraying
All things beautiful...
the shore -
where sits,
Just Her.
Limpid pools withholding tears.
Solemnity of sorrow
so sincere -

She is elemental

heart -

SHADES OF GREY
You know it's funny how moments are sometimes, made to be seen as they appear to be in real life. Yet we close our eyes and we walk blindly into the darkness. So unaware of the consequences that we have hidden from ourselves in plain high sight. That we are not invisible nor are we untouchable from the world of hurt and psychological problems. For example even though I have come to consider the consequences of my life, in this case of tragedy strangely I have actually accepted my life in faith. For example I have learned to love thyself first as I have learned to love others, but yet becoming...

Lonely Endeavours
Nature chokes down progress in silence,
sputtering phantom oaths
left frothing
where plastisized lips eject silicone drool,
her tattered tongue tasting
fomented fumes
circling the corpse of a failed endeavor.
Her somber hands
sodder circuit board bruises
lividly leaking, seething and seeping
where misguided intentions
bore the smog of dire consequence,
yet, subconsciously, she'd always known
those beautiful children
would consume their own mother.....

The Crossroads
I went down to the crossroads and I saw Trump standing there
with fake tan make-up and blonde dye in his hair
I begged for him do show POC some mercy
he said between him and his boss that would start a controversy
I said stop all this "hatin"
he said he was just doing his job as an agent of Satan
I said please don't tell another lie
because more people will die
He smiled and said I know
that is the reason for this show
He said I have to go-I can't be late...

Cataclysmic Musings
I'm done with holding
Public negotiations
I withdraw my application for mass acceptance
The dunce has returned to his corner
Gotta make some serious elbow room inside my mind
Ride a wave that's parallel to this
Acrimonious algorithm
Swim in the stream of my cosmic rhythm
Not an exit strategy...no,no
It's a Hyde in-sight type of thing
Just a coping mechanism
To help me deal with all of these isms
As I patiently await
The fate that laid waste the dinosaurs
Public negotiations
I withdraw my application for mass acceptance
The dunce has returned to his corner
Gotta make some serious elbow room inside my mind
Ride a wave that's parallel to this
Acrimonious algorithm
Swim in the stream of my cosmic rhythm
Not an exit strategy...no,no
It's a Hyde in-sight type of thing
Just a coping mechanism
To help me deal with all of these isms
As I patiently await
The fate that laid waste the dinosaurs

An eerie silence
Following the thund'rous crash
Of broken pieces
