What is to be expected? Mr Trump finally was elected.' Before was Biden.' Yet there were forces behind him Holding gold? And other riches.' Influencing this world By almost un-seen stiches.' Garnering power destroying So much reveling and disporting.' Deploying much lust' Of world the apperatus, the opperating machine just how Much did they own? Seventy percent? Or thirty? Unknown Or so...

Crosses on the side of the road; Belief in passengers goes by — Where wrecked light within flowers grow, Crosses on the side of the road That besides the glass window hold, A memory's attest to time — Crosses on the side of the road, Belief in passengers goes by — ...

No one told me the moment you parted. My disheartened heart left the room the moment I turned the corner, and saw his golden badge as he nodded in comforting dismay. That day My heart learned the rhythm of grief Slow Sickly The kind that brings you past your knees, and drives you six feet underground. Who needs two burials in one day?...

"It's all going to be okay" he would say, with no scent of doubt in his breath, even as its aroma reeked from mine, as I'd blurt out "how can you be so sure?" I never figured out what made my dad so positive in life, though I'm positively sure his life wasn't free from trial and the upsetting...

shadows stretched from unblinking stone a sun dares trespass it's obsidian skin cold wind whispers unknowns of forgotten wars iron tears flown upon obsidian flank, rust earth exhales silence, ancient shrouds frozen breath, dust within its hollow soul pushing the rank crust pulse, violet dark strange geometries bloom in the frost upon a base, lost flock of silent wraiths, gather circles unknown speak, daggers ravens scream, unseen taste of...

Seven and one, open gates! Zero, cancel wild! He who suffers, first berates! Listen, auld to child! Errors of the prophets? By necessity, none. Perfect record, get the fits? Oracle, scion, pun? Ergo, O my time and space! As above, below! Meteor, dark fire, displace. Broken, O my bow... Dread, thy bed. Bend back, bring. Born. Death, thy sacred sand. Dagger, axe, hell, heaven, horn. Doom within all, planned... Falcon, fix...

If unexpectedly I were to die, then this at least is here for all to see - something of mine, a collection of what was I; to survive the flesh, what could beat poetry? Hubris begs me "Don't leave this world unknown!" In secret I agree, but as for pride, it tugs my sleeve and beckons with a groan, "Are you...

How do we do it? How do we go on when the ones that we love are no more? How do we face it, when each day is done and there’s no footsteps crossing the floor? When the house is so empty, and so is your heart and the silence can drive you insane When the memories of love lost, are...

2025.4.16 Today, it is my late friend AP's 6th death anniversary. This morning, I visited him And brought with me not only the usual, But three more new items A popular book "The Art of Happiness", A new published "The Holly book of the Foreskin" And a frame of my embroidery work, Consisted of a poem of farewell best wishes, The song "La Paloma"....

Am I crazy if it’s been five years and I still expect you to walk through the door? If I can’t give away your clothes because you might need them? Am I over the line if I fantasize that your treatment worked and you never died at all? And I laugh with you over breakfast while we sip coffee as we always did? I’m afraid to...

all you ever needed was to be felt seen. you hid yourself from this nasty world, you moulded a side of you that hid your secrets perfectly. my best friend don’t be afraid, you carried me into this world when i was made, our roles changes and i layed you down to leave this land. you have been blessed with the...

They laugh, like it means something I can't find, They pass by me, but I'm left behind. I nod, I speak, I play the role, But no one hears the quiet soul. I remember the warmth of one perfect day, When the sky blushed bright and clouds gave way. We ran through streets, no care, no plan, Your laughter loud,...

Dancing beneath the celestial tapestry, Each tender touch and warm embrace ignites her joy, A radiant warmth lingers like the twilight’s kiss, As love deepens, weaving threads of passion ever tighter. It echoes the canvas of a setting sun, Where the horizon bleeds into a symphony of colors, Yet shadows loom,...

~Running~ death steps behind ~ don't stop to tell how close. Swallowing a clump of cacti. Throat skewers. Aubergine blood clots. Cough, life's wick smaller. Struggle effective so long ago, like swinging axes, which kerf felled the tall tree and brought the timberwolves sorrows? Can't celebrate on broken lips ~nihilistic providence~ the cancer of Hope eating body as it...

Love yourself and respect yourself. Validate who you are and reclaim your powers. If you see me happy, let me be leave me alone to gather dust on the shelf. Those lonely hours were spent building my tower. . Even from beyond the grave, you still believe you can control me. You...
