It's sweet insight

"Good afternoon sir, welcome to the patisserie. What can I get for you"

"Hi, yes I'd like some cake please"

"Certainly, is it for a particular occasion"

"No no, simply to observe"

Alia Enters Hell

There is only little girl who's worthy of the lake of fire.

Except there's no lake but an abyss.

Only one little girl shall enter...

Alia Lynch...

Princess Alia...

Pits of Ziost

I am that which grips the Heart with Fright,

Hearkens the Night,

and Silences the Light . . .

Memento Mori: Memento Vivere

We lay on our
spheres and write
poetry in the
ever changing light
of destiny's shadow.

Shadow

I hid behind
the rock;
She said
yes sir
thank you sir
your dark
humor sir;

as the Shadow
drug her off.

To the Voltarens

I gasped;
Micromegas!
I have
found you!  

He was a
giant of
gargantuan
stature;
how could I miss?

My God
how we laughed.

Science Musings

Poets muse the smiling sun,
Science scans the mathematics;
Both will chase the light-beam,
Each with potent ecstasy.

it was said

to him
" go to that desolate rock
and call her name out"

you will
find her

and so he did

perhaps his call
wasn't strong enough

One day

I shuffled through my notes,
- a mind's dismay.
the blue ribbons,
the red flowers -
where patriot buds lay,
- waiting to come alive.

RoseFire

the oxygen came,
as the poetry captured
the fire—the flame,
it took a deep breath.
