An example of understatementWhat if the orbiting earth were to unexpectedly run into a brick wall,
speeding through the galaxy one night in the middle of Fall?
Can you imagine the sounds of death, destruction, and annihilation,
as Christchurch, New Zealand, crashes into the Atlanta Metro bus station?
I don’t think that would be any fun at all!

Save them that you hurt by hurting the worldYou’ll kill your only dog because you don’t remember the sound of a bullet like him.
The sea rises
The sea consumes
The sea doesn’t give back
You’ll fear a never coming fire after you hear your cousin burnt alive and hide from the smoke you don’t inhale.
The sea rises
The sea consumes
The sea doesn’t give back
When you looked...

A singular Drop; That's All There WasI gaze upon an opaque silver sky,
Descending dewdrops, developing above the mustache maw.
Ascending the nape to taste cherubim cry,
Permeating petrichor, pervade the nasal in auspicious awe.
Palpable pain of tactile taps
Kissing canker sores and rainstorm rush.
Radically rampaging, for its rapid relapse
Rain, it's infinite, swirling fervor flush
To drown by an inundated impound,
A vehement, vicious, void that immersed,
Wandering...

The Morning AfterThe floodwaters shimmer with opalescence in the morning sun
The torrential rain finally comes to a halt
In the stillness of it all floats the body of the banker’s son
Six feet above-ground, his grave on the asphalt
Birds stir cautiously above in the stripped-down trees
Their intertwining voices weaving a fragile song
A tattered American flag wavers in the cool...

The Ides of MarchThis week is bleak, the birds don’t sing
No sun, no rains, but greyness
Even the churchbells didn’t ring
Have they become atheists
The bellman and the bearded dean
And all the congregation?
In times like this to breathe is sin
No promise of salvation
Can take away the truth it fakes
And like a stubborn stem
Grows through the slab, the truth condemns...

How to Hunt LoveThrow an arrow, remember to sharpen it before it reaches it's end target
Who is naïve enough to cross your parameters of closeness
Capture this person whose mere sight you adore
Aim at their legs, your prey will land face first on the floor
Don't be scared, Don't you worry
This is how love is meant...

The Day the Earth ShookThe Day the Earth Shook
Today a place called Haiti,
weighs heavy on my mind.
A small island Country State,
where life has been unkind.
With little shanty houses,
no food to feed the young.
War and unrest through the years,
a trap to be unstrung.
A seven-point earthquake struck,
it rattled this small place.
Shook...

A Perilous Journey
Even on the darkest days when the odds are stacked heavily against us, we should never give up on hope.
Quote By Poet.
We were heading for better life to the new world on the sailing ship 'Athlone',
After about five weeks disaster struck, and the main mast and sails were lost.
For two weeks we drifted aimlessly...
