“I may just now stray where the shadows flit yet still I hope for light.” It was written on a Rome tomb. She seemed to me to be while on earth too young. Giving birth when she was overwhelmed? Crass it strikes me that such a healthy strapping lass gave life licked death’s knife. Who looked from above on this ultimate act of self-surrender, better known to us...

Post Tenebras Lux True light comes after dark. A dawn divine breaks out My soul without a spark In detrius night of doubt This dark epiphany My deep depravity Shaped in iniquity Before nativity An evil worldly breed A spawn of night accursed I find a greater need To see my darkness first If all I see is light Then surely I am blind My sin I would not fight And...

Post-its, coat the Brain I keep controlling sticking to my skull Without holding their notice Maybe I have spiraled out of focus Leaving all my thoughts to obliterate my homage It's really you on my mind Your carving words Into my eyes Leaving notes on my spine As I gash into my thighs It’s really you on...

Dear Levester. On last night, while in bed before falling asleep, my mind became filled with thoughts of you, and My eyes were filled with tears. The thoughts were not thoughts of sorrow and the tears were not from grief. On the contrary, my soul rejoiced for the privilege of knowing a person like you for nearly three years. Levester, those two-plus years...

Green moon in a dirty sky, snow drifting in, a subliminal huff-huff, of polar bears stalking. Ice crackles, bewitched caw-clawing crows gather to sleep amid bad dreams. If we gaze too long, a green sheen smears stinging cheeks. When making love to the pillowing dark, snarling monkey's chase naked angels across a gloaming night. In red and white stripped socks toes curl. Phantasmagoric broomsticks swish tinsel from bleary eyes. Later than predicted, a deeper snow arrives. Wooly hats...

Thought I perhaps should let all my friends see, How touched I was on finding this letter to me, Found by mistake, after so many years, I collapsed into buckets of tears, A treasure bequeathed to me, was meant to be. POST-SCRIPT: As the writing is faint in the scan above I have typed it out for ease of legibility. Abu...

I often take a shameless selfie Of myself dining or travelling gleefully And post it on my Facebook Or Instagram page immediately Some people say it's quite conceited To paste your mug so much Of displaying your contentment When in reality your life may be otherwise So easy on your selfies It's really not all self-toot Just a way of keeping in...

I'm sorry was you not expecting a reaction What was I supposed act like the didn't happen And I prayed for an angel to save me But when Mama came to rescue her baby You called it kidnapping You thru my hero in jail And sent me back to hell For the devil to finish his "kid-napping" I was told to...

Creaky door opening from one blackened room To another Something enters Looms Warm breath on your neck You Business leaders Are the first to go The most susceptible To my thoughts about your future Hold out your hands What do you feel? Yes that’s it a carrot and stick Now feel the blade of steel to your throat My friend So maybe your side gig Running your newspaper platform or TV...

I know someone to whom I am a fact But I can be generalized to an opinion Which disappears fast if they distract And so I hibernate until they turn me on United with my opposite, I laugh In someone’s argument I do the demon dance One time I’m crazy, then I’m soft enough If one can pick me in a better...

Think Before You Post When you pass, and arrive at the gold of Heaven’s Gate, God, in His glory, will read, what you wrote, my poetic mate. Did you write with no conscience, just for a big, racous laugh? Remember, my poet, God made our bodies to honor, in His behalf. 8/24/2024 @Panagiota Romios ...
