  • a tired old mind

    As the flashes lit the darkened sky Wave upon wave washed the old cobblestones Ancient drums pounded out a tempo The winds died as a slow drizzle bathed the land From afar a whistle blew As thoughts of old stogies and trailers for rent … Flowed through this tired old mind The evening air cooled…

  • a simple moment

    I set within the shadows Listening to the falling rain It’s ever changing rhythm The tempo rising and lowering Throughout the night it played on An original concerto It’s first and last it’s only performance Lost to a world racing on ward Towards oblivion grasping at things Of fleeting pleasures in stoopered states Missing a…

  • the cold of dawn

    The Stars slowly fade into the darkness of the lingering dawn It’s coldness settling upon a bed half full An empty hand searching for where passion had laid Twisted sheets lay cold just a dream flowing from dry lips The soft succulent form that filled my arms just a dream flowing from dry lips The…

  • Three Days In June

    twas a gathering of friends no summer that year Lac Leman, shrouded in rain in spine chilling parlor horrors were shared blood letting undead’s human tissue’s rebirth tales of woe, did spread creeping across the channeled shore on a gray and misting night legends grew of poetic prose the pond held, the mist no more…

  • as the morning dies anew

    an ashen mist slowly burned away the blissful rays of light filtering through the canopy nebulous shadows dance amidst the fallen leaves a tranquil breeze bringing fragrances from the heavens her laughter drifting echoing through the misty eyes of past tears a scantily clad figure twirled and bowed to an avian accord her toes graceful…

  • And Shadows Dance

    As the rain fell from the heavens Striking leaves as if the keys upon a piano A rhythm always changing Like the ripples upon a pond Trees begin to dance Warming up in the gentle breeze Erupting into a frantic freestyle Were sanity escapes Wave upon wave of driving rain A maddening rhythm of chaotic…

  • A Wooden Shelf

    hours turned into days buried in the mind of a forgotten authoress a prosy of descriptive passion a vivacious depiction of unrequited love, a colloquy of fictional affairs in vivified prose imprisoned in her world in the caste of despair burning passions vicariously created imposed sanity upon a brilliant mind lost in the dust upon…
