I braved the mystery isle
Dark dawning sky
Belies a once enchanted land
Shrouded in a noxious mist
Castle ruins, city wasted
Translucent wings of broken queens
Like crystal cracked & seeping
Its fragile beauty
Could not resist
Fury of greed hate

Used to call him
Pestilence
Before we all had cars

Now He is Pollution
& He stinks
At playing cards

War grins
‘Cross baize at Famine
Crack thin in dirty thong

She swears Death
Is cheating
& she’s both Right&Wrong

For Everyone
Is cheating—
It’s mankind’s favorite song

I’ll write beautiful poems when I find the words
The problem with skyline is I haven’t lived far from my back fence
Looking up has always been a challenge
A state of affairs according to those in the know

I wrestle with a caveman brain
MedievalLawsConstrain

Serving to confound this mess—
I’mArmedWithGodlikeTech

I envy the mountain range
my pale refrain

BalanceOfTheEarthUpset
By schemes I did not vet

I sing a self-destructive song
Which end pretends ‘fore long

She flicks her hand, and the Katana became a of blue-black pieces that flew like a cloud shards and smokey blue fire. It sailed across the room, and quickly re-assembled in her hand.

She gripped the handle. "Right then. I guess we're both good to go."

When I reflect
I focus on
My eyes watching
Clouds dance
Birds glide
All bad memories become
Meaningless
I know my soul is as free
Even more so
Because I can beyond
Reality....

its finding
notes
sassy restart
of my
brassy into me
of beaten part
remixed to timpani heal
glockenspiel feels

restringing of souls
unstrung harp
reorchestrating singing
in my unsung heart

A pierced her smooth foot. She lifted it and studied the pearlescent ridges in the sunlight. Her legs, still wobbly, grew stronger with each step. As she dried, her scales faded into skin. She stared at the ocean. Waves beckoned, but the call of love was stronger.

Bring your trends
Bring your dirt
Bring your baggage
.
You never had a friend like me
.
I promise
.
Lie in the bed that you made
I will inherit your shortcomings
.
Pain is as natural as the rain
.
I'll be there to weather it with you🌦
.
Don't fear to be alone

the house wilts
a forgotten relic
in a neglected pocket of time
hours loop on themselves
& the paint runs as thin
as her spirit

she sits on a broken chair
unmoved, still
holding on, to a tattered thread
that ties somewhere
to the
of the past

she waits, she wilts

Dancing perceptions
Your favorite move
Seeking inception
Craving to churn

Who’s out to get me?
Sad for you
Your soul isn’t free
Caged in a to rule

Strive for
Be humble & kind
Or paste on false graphics
Time to be worthy of the divine

the physics of love

if time is relative
& quantum precise

what of love?

its molecule of tears
& smells
its liquid of longing
& sadness

the heart
a muscled book of
resounding songs

an ever beating psalm
of wrong yet
beautiful

Hiding your madness
After hours is folly
Play your joker
Win the game
Make crazy
Your ultimate fashion item
Free your inner femme fatale...

breathing sky blue
suspended between
heaven & earth
love like oxygen
fuels the heart's drive
to fly above it all

My heart is moody today.
I took a paintbrush and painted something different and new.
My mind is today.
Thinking of the ocean, the passing full moon and pictures of you.



A bit of amateur painting at Cork and Canvas tonight.
