Oh my child, the sun’s rays brightly shone down on you its shadow marking green grass where you stood and grew. A path of brilliance punctuated by dark and cloudy days reminding you that you should never be set in your ways. Oh my child, the stars fell to earth watching over you on countless […]

Tomorrow Now Gone; My Paradox
Tomorrow you will search for me but I won’t be here, somewhere else I’ll be because tonight I will leave it all behind. I’ve intentionally forgotten all that I needed and all that I’ve wanted; should have heeded your heart. I won’t be here, I won’t be at home. This road that I have chosen […]
Failure
“What do you see when the darkness comes?” such a haunting question for such a simple conversation. “I see the demons of dreams long dead,” I say. He looks at me, through me, as if he could shun the abomination in front of him. Such an arcane answer to such a generic question. If this […]
Death on Tobin’s Bed
I was lying on Tobin’s rank bed when his crazy stars fell on me. Glowing ceiling tiles lit in shades of green, blue, orange and red flew at me; so many comets set free. Was I really tripping on acid? Feeling them hit me, envelope my body penetrate me and pulse through me. Falling to […]
Summer’s Dawn
I watched Venus chase her fingernail moon companion of starry field skies to the unknown shores and adventures of tomorrow’s impending night. Summer’s dawn forcing Morpheus to relinquish his tenacious hold as early morning’s cold raven takes flight and gives distinct song. Thunderous wind buffeting quiet mountain valley ‘neath feathery wing while gentle snow falls […]
I’m Sorry, I Forgot
So many years in the blink of an eye; what happened? We said goodbye, noncommittal promises so easily begot, I remembered it all so much later, after the bitter end that we’d said we’d get that date for coffee; I’m sorry that I forgot. Faint smudges of cherry lipstick on your collar, a sad truth […]
Cari
My thoughts are useless and my actions impotent. I watch mouth agape as everything I have come to fear is splayed out before me; a sick melodrama. It should not have happened, the world now knows, you were put on display for shock and ratings. Everyone is sorry because God chose not to favor you, […]
Calamity; You’re Not what I Wanted
I would love to tell you that it was all worth it. Hiding beneath the good intentions and smiling through the darkness and the pain; lost in darkness pit, violins pierce darkness; lifting me up on angelic wing. From across the room I can feel you watching, silently judging with those cold jaded eyes. If […]
Obscenely Serene
We met in the emergency room, remember? Your quiet blue eyes rolled past me, just a subtle glimpse. On this putrid summer day, not yet September, your pale skin fairly glowing under tawdry overhead light. Your face didn’t seem to indicate a desire to converse. I wanted to ask you what your story was, but […]
A Father’s Wish – Verse #2
Oh my little child, what changes will you see?So unaware of the world now that is now to be your new home so far away from my heart,now that we have grown up and grown apart. Oh my little child, were you ever awareof the gaze of the world’s persistent stare? To look upon a […]
