NOVEMBER 30TH, 2023
The echoes of the slam still haunt the air,
A limping ghost, the trauma's heavy share.
The lawyer's words, a hollow, broken plea,
Justice delayed, a cruel eternity.
One year, two years, the clock relentlessly ticks,
Three years of limbo, where the spirit breaks.
The plea bargain looms, a soul-crushing trade,
For freedom lost, a heavy price is paid.
Handcuffs again, a chilling,...

AmerikanniaAdrift in some Mad American Empire
I stand in my shadow as the future winds come
Looking over the ruins of my nation!
Eyes grow dim as the masses succumb
Family cries as loved ones are stolen!
What have we become
A piece of crumpled banner flutters in the sky
It’s a blue field, a bold white name
Are...

November Sanctum
sun sets early in november
while streetlights pepper busy sidewalks
and chilly winds hurl through the streets
bundled up, head on we face the gale
always keen for coffeehouse intermissions
where mugs and napkins are exchanged for money
a warm familiar welcome as we come in from the cold
the atmosphere relaxing, retro music that's enticing
a table for secluded refuge...

November is my Musewake me up when it's all over
"when the ink of my pen stops bleeding
when there is no trace of their memories"
wake me up when the nightmare is over
november's sadness will take me down
burn the bridges to the next run
lunar eclipse and pacing under the sun
gray will return in it's darkest shade...

Long Ride HomeIt is a sun filled, November morn, leaving church in town;
I look at the memorial garden, seeing how it is over grown.
They escort me to the back of my waiting car,
Each step is slow for me, why it seems so far?
They fasten me in the back securely,
But alas, I know, we shall know no hurry.
My...

OrangeOrange is the color of the dead leaves falling to the ground
Orange is the bright bonfire crackling in the night
Orange is the smell of a freshly baked pumpkin pie
Orange is the feeling of the fall breeze blowing through the air
Orange is the taste of a perfectly cooked turkey for thanksgiving dinner
Orange is the sound of...

Will November Feel the Same?It is September and I am still tired
still yearning for change that I know won’t come
still searching for some kind of a feeling
through a pile of fallen leaves, this ground
definitely seems to have hardened now
because the grass doesn’t blow in the wind
like it...

The End of NovemberI remember the end of one November
When my urge
To see the forest trees
Was unbreakable.
The leaves and the trees
Were still lively and red
But still and half way dead.
Discovering fallen trees
Ancient mounds
And new paths with distant sounds.
It was hard to carry on home
Where my other soul
Laid on my chest
Like the still winter trees
Deemed to rest.
I remember...

November MoonNovember moon,
dangling pearl
trailing the face of dusk
like a brooding tear.
Morpheus leads our way
through luminous sleep,
through stained glass shards of
our multiverse.
November moon,
you languish unrealized,
in somber slumber fog.
Our mortal arousal,
our wounds are reopened.
Morpheus leads our way,
through lustrous ruminations,
through spiraling remnants of
our Megaverse.
November moon
We hardly notice you
in our narcoleptic cloud,
our emergent consciousness,
our collective imagination.
Morpheus leads our...

November, month of bohemian melancholy, when leaves fall like rose petalsNovember, month of bohemian melancholy, when leaves fall like rose petals
On empty boulevards, and the wind carries the scent of nostalgia,
Some memories settle like a veil on the keys of a forgotten piano,
Others linger, vibrating in the air like an evening waltz of shadows.
You, pillar of illusions and unrestrained dreams, bear burdens with an ironic...
