Murder On My Mind

Copyright Oct.12, 2013 One day I came to the Shore; Sat upon the grains of hour-glass time, Looked out across the Sea of my Before, Thinking in my heart of what could rhyme with the ancient feeling of No Name; And everyone has felt the same; Some new profundity that we've "found", Without a face,...

Earth In Repose

Copyright Oct.11, 2013 The sheet of night is drawn slowly across the sky, Tucking the world in, Trailing scarlet fingers across its' brow. I hear the Earth breathing quietly, Sighing through the oaks and maples; Its' eyelid slowly closes on the horizon... As the star-dreams begin. Firefly-fairys... Sign in to see full entry.

Drought

Copyright Oct.11, 2013 My tears have lost their way, They cannot find the road to my eyes. It has been many days since they ran their course, A drought in the soul-lands, Turned to desert, Filled with only mirages of feeling. All the unknown vintage of my thoughts cry out, For one glimpse of a rare... Sign in to see full entry.

A Place Called Home (The poem that entiles this blog)

Copyright Oct.10, 2013 Now I look out on the dark land, (Shadows bathed in shadows unto far from where I stand) And nights' breath fades then rushes hard again, And runs the miles down to places where I've been; Home, where my little ones sleep, Home, where my love runs deep, A place called Home...

Poetry Speaks

Copyright Oct.10, 2013 Though I seem to be only clever words, Arranged for best effect or pretty to the ear. In truth I'm sharper than the beaks of birds, And warriors' swords that once inspired fear. I have been spoken in kings' halls, And been the wings propelling lovers hearts. I am written...

Reanimation

Copyright Oct.9, 2013 Here in this library I stroll through a graveyard filled with poets bones. Some are not buried well and wave at me with half-skeletal hands, cheerful in the half-life. I just know they rise at midnight to have their cafe-macabre conversations. Arguements over poetic dreams no... Sign in to see full entry.

Dead Or Alive

"Wanted: dead or alive," the handbill said, Copyright Oct.9, 2013 "But we preferably want this conscience dead. It's caused us pain and gave us sleepless nights. It's made us fain Our smiles under the camera lights, When we stood before the world stage, Forcing us to see the bars of our cage." So it... Sign in to see full entry.

Second Life

Copyright Oct.12, 2013 Memories came last night, Starving ghosts hungry for second lives. I confess that I killed them Before they could take their new first breaths. I cannot remain their companion. Past relationships came yesterday, Starving personalities hungry for my second life. I did not... Sign in to see full entry.

Industry

A moment passed I did not like Copyright Oct.7, 2013 and so I reached behind myself and brought it to the fore, So that I could, (as if it were a rearanged rubix cube) put it right. It took me all night to realize how many moments had passed in this enterprise; how many had slipped, sandlike between... Sign in to see full entry.
