The wind-blown
Sands scatter
Across the
Sun-cracked
Landscape

A cloudless,
Pastel sky
Hovers
Over a
Sleepy
Matron

A black crow
Pecks at the
Stony ground
And one lon…

_I emerged from
A tumbled world
Of lapis lazuli
With sapphire tears
And ruby whispers.
I ran to a crystal river
And sat down beside it
I heard its emerald lullaby sighs
And as the …

On the open market place of language, all words have a price.
Speech is not free – the more money you spend, the more of it you can buy.

Money is a demagogue that shouts down truth
And swe…

I fell asleep on a bus stop bench and I immediately started dreaming…

I found myself standing on the median strip of a busy boulevard.

Naked; I tried to shield my shame.

People screame…

As I sail the turbulent sea
Of subconsciousness
A sad song calls to me
It lures me toward
The violent storm
Of abandoned and forgotten memories

Under miles of treacherous water
There l…

My internal
Dialog
With you
Moves through
My brain
Like an
Endless stream
Of gentle
Rain

Drip.

Drip.

Dripping…

Into a
Puddle
Of thoughts
That fills
And overfl…

Let me be the water
That caresses your body
As you flow through me
My ripples and streams
Will gently kiss your curvature

My liquid longing yields
And forms around you
Engulfing you in…

I know you;
I can hear the rhythm of your heartbeat
Played softly upon my eardrum
I can smell the scent of your painted skin
Wafting in on a breeze that floats through my open window
I can…

I ran the circumference of the earth
To get away from you
I tried drugs and alcohol
To avoid confronting you
I tried religion
That worked for a while
But you were always there
Looking ri…

Today, loneliness crept up on me
Like a stalking tiger;
It ravaged my heart,
Brought me to the
Somber edge of pain
And taunted me.
As though it were a cat
Toying with a mouse.

There,…

The double doors
Of your portal
Flung open
You beckon,
Entice me
Invite me in.
My dreams
Led me.
My desire
Drove me.
I step inside
And penetrate
It’s threshold.
Probing deeper

She hides in beauty
She hides in her pain
She hides from the memories
That always remain

She hides in her indifference
She hides from love’s refrain
She hides from the monster
That inh…

In your garden
Of secrets
I bathed
In the pond
Of sins
Where water’s murmur
Lured me in
To the comfort
Of forgetting
All of passion’s
Promises
That lay
Buried beneath
You…

I found myself
Standing in the shadow
Of Mount Vesuvius
At that juncture
Where the comings and goings
Of many a lost soul’s cacophony
Is obliterated by the cataclysm of
Time pouring an…

I am not your dark night
Nor am I your sunlight
I am a gray day
Cast upon the platitudes
Of the misguided right
I will not be labeled
Or pigeonholed
Limited or told
Who or what I can b…

Caught in the throes
Of passionate
Thought
This abyss
Of emptiness
Swallows me
The labyrinth
Of Loneliness
Leaves me wanting
Needing
Reaching
For slippery fish
Hands grasping
For …

I don’t
Understand
Why your
Passion for
Other
Things
Moves me
So deeply

I don’t
Know why
Reading
Your words
About paint
Gives me
An erection
And a
Yearning to …

She came
To me
In a dream;
As if she new
How much
I’d been
Thinking about her.
Her wild hair
And angel’s wings
Spread high
Above my he…

How long must I wait?
I am sitting here
With my
Mind swirling;
My body anticipating
Her return

What spell has she cast?
I claw the walls
And pace;
I look for
Any trace
Of her
