AUTOMATA-DREAM


Cowardly sacrifice or sneaky regret?! "Halfway between these two concepts, the insidious tyranny came back into vogue." In the flickering darkness of a star-moment, they grope for each other, until the totally determined loneliness cannot be...

Calling Me Home (Day 6) unedited

Day #6: Salmon Idaho to Vernal Utah

I was the first motorcyclist to leave the next morning from an overly full parking lot. It was 6:45 a.m., and you couldn’t fit even one more bike anywhere on the normally empty lot. Some late arrivals were now...

December

The shepherd was a subdued wolf.
The hermit had a cloak, a stick and a bag, and a book.

The goat was a sheep who awoke from a bear's slumber.
The wheel takes the apes across,
down, around, back and forth, up and under.

The winter...

Jehovah's creation

In summer, all is bright and fair,
I miss sunlight when it's night, with no light there.
Jehovah's creation, beyond compare.

The sun's warm rays upon my face,
In sunshine, all is bright and fair.
Brings joy and life to every place.

The...

Locust and Honey

A plastic world we been livin' in!
Ridin' a line between carcinogen,
and sweet as saigon cinnamon.
Serotonin is what we're swimmin' in-

Easyrider,
nik, nik, nik, fire.

In a stable where Zoroastrians stand and admire!
The adoration of the...

When We Cry

When the children cry do we even bother to ask why?
To the mother all alone holding onto her strength to try
Do we truly take the time
To acknowledge and brighten their day with a simple smile?
To the man all alone
Do we pray he finds his...

Dead Silence

into reality waving franticly
from the rooftop of your house
floating down the flooding river

twisters' green skies run for cover
sirens daily warning duck
undergrounds bunker scramble

fire scars breech unknown heat limits
deaths...

Cheshire Musing

Prose and its narrative
the lazy alternative
Words most abundant
meaning defined

Declarative function
it reads codependent
As poets but smile
— with language refined

(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May,...

Kryptonite

They tried to tie me down and tame me
God cut the ropes
I was made to be this way
I am who I am
I was born a mess
Mad at the world from the beginning
No one to trust
No one to guide me to the positive
I was stuck in the negative
Like a...

Intrusive Thoughts

“when I’m with you I feel like I could die and that would be alright..”

On a good day, there’s color to your cheeks along with a smile

-From ear to ear-

Like everything’s okay and our life hasn’t been fading away,

Slowly

Right...

Waits End

Now the daggered hearts statue remains
Dry tears wilting on empty years
Trapped in memories crashing waves
Always ending the same
Slow motion draining
Heartbeats crooked step
Waining in the languid hours
Stolen in gravities pull
Down wistful...

Shimmering Alure

Dancing eyes softly wait
Shining beauty radiating
Balancing in the moonbeams

Many a sailor's eyes have tried
To untie Stella's steadfast heart
Bound to oceans rocky shores

His eyes stirred her deepest feelings
Longing for his long tender...
