I see It in the rearview mirror, It stands shrouded in past memories, Its attire laughing at my soul, Its ravaged life, Its savage strife, Its destructive nature, its hollowed persona, Its staring at me, Its staring into my soul, Its desire to conquer me, Its horrible strategy, It cannot stand, I won’t bear defeat,…

Emotional Baggage
Off to the side I sit Idly by watching time Pass by my side as I Attempt to persuade Guardian Angels to untie My bounds that hold me Prisoner to this idle body Lazy, full of pride My eyes glazed over with envy For the riches of others As I sun away in jealousy Of…
Still
Stillness, still ness, still, To be still, Along the loch’s beach, Still watching frozen ripple, Time, still, stillness, still ripples, As time stands, frozen among the sand, Beaches full and ripe, Frozen pebbles vibrating in stillness’s grasp, Alone in a second, Neither a variable, Or of importance, Lost on the connection to the next second,…
Dragon
At foot of musky cave, In murky mire covered in cave moss, Lost among the lost centuries, Overgrown ruins, Lost skeletal remains, Civilization long forgotten, Time frozen, Dragons howl a stark reality, In deaths frozen realm, Fear strikes the blood, Frozen still as howls continue, Longing for mother’s arms, Sweat beading mixed with courageous tears,…
Far Away Sky
Today, beneath the sun, My brother, my sister, Sit and twist this message, Split it in two, Share it like a forbidden secret, On the airwaves, Silent in the night, Beneath the moon, as the werewolves howl, Today, beneath the moon, We dance, we swerve, we sway, Under her majestic moon waves, The airwaves full…
Mental Health & Self-Worth
The morning I woke I up, And saw my worth, Looking in the mirror, Middle-aged & baggy-eyed, Staring back at the shaggy man, Reflection of sand and time, In the mirror staring back, The lad of nine I used to know, In the mirror staring back, The young man humping sandy dunes, In the mirror…
Love Overflowing
Lovely star lain atop the brass alter, Alert for her goddess, Shining light atop the pillar of glory, For her goddess majesty, Justice’s gaze churning the guilty below, Turning tranquil thought into hollowed guilt, Bubbling the soul with regret, Forging pathways on knees of repentance, Filling walkways with tribulations, Turmoil and tumultuous disasters, The air…
The Hump
Lost in a void, Finding direction a lost cause, Looking at the hump with anticipation, Ready or not here I come. (Turning 40 while looking back at what 40 years has brought as well as what the next 40 years will bring.)
Armature Photography
I decided to try something and wow, it turned out way better than I ever thought it would, especially with my armature eyes.
Hungry
Sat down one night to Discuss, The insomniac brain Discouraged, From the Disgust, Of Devising, This Divine, Poem of Destiny, In this Densely, Populated and Dramatic, Population of the Drastic, Totally, Droopy, Down in the Dumps, Over the long lost Dunes, On the sandy coast of Djibouti, Among the long lost June Days, Watching early…
