Heart echoes in my cavernous chest
Hallowed Hall
Hidden in the drizzling evening
Harvest Moon
Hovering darkly on my amigdala
Lunatic
“Help me take off this mask, Luke”
As I gasp for my last wheezing breath.
Here
I
Am

This ugliness
Posted in Poetry on September 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A soldier stands on a hill that was once peaceful.
There is a glamour here
She knows it.
She takes her old cheap medallion from her treasure box
And looks upon it with eyes that have known the deepest of sadness
She kisses it.
This is all I know.
This is all I have ever been.
A broken heart is all that abides [...]
Awakened from a Dream

I wake up and sit up in bed.
I am Buddha meditating,
Instantaneously awake.
The image of a sharpened pencil the tip bouncing up and down on a finger tip ten thousand times.
My heart is pounding, I see each beat in my mind’s eye as a line on a heart monitor each point bleeding into the next a [...]

I open my hands and hold them to the air,
I ask them to breathe and they do not.
I count my years in tens.
Ten years of cluelessness,
Ten years of foolishness,
Ten years of rejection,
Ten years of make believe,
Ten and Ten and Ten and Ten,
Somewhere I have lost a year and 10 months.
I hold my hands open to [...]
Misty Morning
Posted in Poetry on May 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Gunshots at 4 am.
The dog and I ears perked heads up.
Cops in the neighborhood.
Roaring with 8 cylinders.
Alarm at 6 am.
I cannot wake up.
Coffee and OJ forgotten on the counter.
Chased by a clerk.
Misty morning warm.
Why bitch about this weather?
Worm in the parking lot.
Sun is coming.
Worm in the lawn.
Worm slime on my fingers.
Carpe Diem.
Gandalf’s Eye

As I rush – I see a hawk winging down in the brisk wind
It lands upon it’s prey.
This prey knows naught but it’s short life of giving birth to feed the predator
or of feeding it, ripped apart by it’s talons and razor beak.
It knows no other life.
I am like Sauron’s eye.
I see to the heart [...]
Cannot Sleep

Waking at 4am
Mrs. Havershams wedding dress
seeping cloying mustiness
so thick I am nauseated.
Light’s on its 5AM
Jane Eyre’s dove grey travelling dress
embittered, restive, loneliness
so brittle I am already in pieces.
Coffee on it’s 6am
Darth Vader’s hard shell vest
fierce, hateful, ugliness
so angry that I ache
Walking out at 7am
Sancho Panza’s following quest
braying, foolish, jackass
so muddy that I wallow
8 am
Siddhartha’s sandals
calm, [...]
Quarry

We stumble down the railroad tracks,
short step short step long step
short step short step long step
The wind at our backs
Water trickles in falling streams
old concrete rusts
discarded bits of metal
three hawks circle
returning home
short step short step long step
short step short step long step
spikes and bolts strewn about
whipping hair
cold ears
crispy creeks
warm heart.
Petulance

Petulance
demands deference
none forethcoming
turns its back
petulance
requires attention
none forthcoming
walks away
petulance
a wooden sword
in splinters on the ground
petulance
on higher pose
as bough breaks
Wisdom Eye

Stepping forth from a dark forest glade
to the dappled sunlight of an oak grove
a deer startles and stops
a still vision
a path of stones
wandering to a mountain stream
baubling rippling in a brilliant light
strong hands cup the crystal water
a pause,
water trickles
a wizened hand reaches up
a startled visitor stops
a withered old gnome
eyes glittering and sparkling
a merry laugh
the wanderer [...]
