poem

AFTER THE WAKE the women young and old walked around the large rectangular table, their pale skin framed in faded black dresses torn black stockings, and, old, black shoes. they seemed to be in a dream: silence in slow motion. The men were seated waiting to be served his share of demi-tasse and... Sign in to see full entry.

a poem

SUSTENANCE what pure and generous hearts I have met on the way. what kindness and compassion have struck my soul to the near ecstasy of being. what tears I have shed for already missing you. I wrap myself in the warmth of your thoughts and the music of your words that soothe and sustain. Sign in to see full entry.

poem

CLICKETY-CLACK Flat tar rooves held the heat of a sultry August day confined to a breathless place, no cooling breeze from windows opened wide held my sleep until dawn’s break but a mesmerizing lullaby of clickety-clack of trains on the tracks close by screeching into the station on high over...

poem

STALE BREAD I know the power of words and the unique interplay of form and content. yet nothing is said that hasn’t been said before and I recognize the pallor of my own creation. I have slipped away. all truth, beauty and valor, in spirit and soul surge from a unique force within which awakens the... Sign in to see full entry.

poem

THE RUN A desperate fear and sadness have wrapped themselves tightly around my heart, so tightly and so resolutely that they have stolen the hope of more days to come, and a reprieve from final hours of agony. i have had a dark epiphany;' I will not go from this world easily. I’ve run so far never... Sign in to see full entry.

poem

CREDO …and so, the wars continued on, and Heaven’s madness was upon us. large numbers took flight from the city in search of a safe haven from God’s fury, for His Wrath was upon us and fear stole the heart of Man. Faith in a Universal Goodness that filled the Void of Nothingness no longer captured... Sign in to see full entry.

APOCALYPSE Pale yellow rays of a midnight moon pierced through Earth’s dark secrets to uncover mysteries seen only by those of special perception. and the stars, like frozen diamonds transfixed in an indigo sky, ceased all movement, and the Universe known to man shuddered in dreadful anticipation of...

poem

ABOUT CANDLES AND FLAMES A flame that flickers in the night endures the winds that would extinguish its light. but until the fire dies to itself It is fire still up to the time it burns no more. we are candles lit that sear the universe with our fire week or strong and as long as one cinder burns...

poem

O NORTE Perdi o meu norte e vago trás aguas desconhecidas, só e abandonado por Deus e a humanidade. a escuridão desta vida e o silêncio da morte aterroroizam-me busco horizontes en toda parte onde brilha luz mas luz n ão brilha no Inferno… THE NORTH I have lost my North and I wander through unknown...

poem updated

COWS AND BUTTERCUPS WEST VIRGINIA 1944 across a field velvet green, with buttercups and roaming cows framed in skies cerulean two women, skirts past the knees. white hair dancing in the breeze, walked lazily arm in arm in quiet conversation. rare moments these to tell what only women need to share...
