There was this undercurrent of panic coursing just beneath the surface at the store this morning that was most unsettling. Like we were one cough away from pandemonium. People cast their gazes about frantically, eyes darting from shelf to shelf in a twisted pantomime of dream induced REM, fearful of making contact. The dreamlike qualityContinue reading “Scenes From a Modern Pandemic”

Smooth Jazz
Two fingers of whisky for he, Just one more glass of wine for sheAmber and garnetSmooth and sublimeJust a few warm sipsTo ease the passing of time The evening rolls languidly byTwo become one in the dwindling lightTemperatures riseHeart beats syncAnd the sax of the jazzBring the couple to their feet In a blur two bodiesContinue reading “Smooth Jazz”
On The Nature of Reality
Did I dream this life And am I still asleep A quick slip down the rabbit hole Leads to a trip to the underneath I spiral down the emptiness Where up is down and down is out Tiptoe through absurdities Too curious to think about I venture out among the chaos Wander down to depthsContinue reading “On The Nature of Reality”
Dizzy With Infinity
Let’s illuminate the abstractTranscend a quantum leapReality skews the etherLight permeates the deep Where one thread endsAnother spins freeLooping back onto itselfDizzy with infinity The signal breaks downCloser to the sourceThe patterns that emergeCircumscribes a subtle force Waves parse dark matterFractals bloom in proximityLight stalls at the event horizonDizzy with infinity Deeper towards the bottomRealityContinue reading “Dizzy With Infinity”
Ease and Eves
If you can’t see the forest for the trees You won’t see the tree for its leaves Myopic dysphoria becomes the bigger disease When the dreamer only sees what he believes There’s no glory picking fleas off bigger fleas Futility kills what you hope to achieve With fetid fate indifferent to your pleas Murdered potentialContinue reading “Ease and Eves”
Face The Sun
Light yawns slowly awakePalm trees gently swayMorning chokes the hazeDampness burns away Eastern thermals churnBreezes chase the coldWarmness eases inInvigorates the bold Dormant creatures stirNature sighs awakeNight shrugs off its mantleMoonlight flees the lake Sound replaces silenceStillness goes astrayDark dissolves to sunriseBlackness bleeds to gray One final gasp of nightExhales and dawn is doneRadiance awaitsContinue reading “Face The Sun”
Unfortunate Strings
Stretched tightly across the threshold of this life are strings of loveWhose vibrations once resonated voraciouslyThat now lie feverish in their idlenessRust settles across the once well polished wiresDecaying in the acrid air of insipidityPerfect in their imperfectionSlender in their imaginationForm beneath functionAnd function under-formed Craving delicate touches of angelic fingersThe disenfranchised diluvial dreamSomehow stillContinue reading “Unfortunate Strings”
Homeless Poem
I wanna ride through the endless night…with you I wanna gaze at the countless stars…with you I wanna glean from the sacred rites I need to feel the emptiness die Feel as free as free as light Reflecting off your silent eyes tonight I am ready to climb through the reckless tide Swim in theContinue reading “Homeless Poem”
The Dark Side of the Rainbow
Words the will betray me.Ultimately I am sick.The notion strikes me as odd.The contemplation drives me mad.The reality is quite cripplingYet somehow I am not so bad Perhaps I should be, perhaps I should notI studied hard the lessons of lifeI have been held after class for daydreamingAnd learned that dichotomy cuts like a knifeContinue reading “The Dark Side of the Rainbow”
Caught in the Reign
The sky opened suddenly unleashing its blind furyDarkness enveloped the day forcing early twilightCaught unprepared a lone traveler is forced to improviseBeneath the mossy cover of an old oak treeThis tourist in the Garden of EdenSettles into a dank berth between the split at the trunkSadness rains down all aroundThe implications resonateDesperation overthrows restraintYet heContinue reading “Caught in the Reign”
