The Playwright

June 14, 2013

Another wrecked soul, Has withered among his dreams How they drained the sparks that remained And damned his hollow carcass to its hellish fate A cold farewell is somberly hoist Billow not far behind The black mourning trails That stream from the highest steeple What was once love Peered shyly from her lone balcony Unmoved…

Marooned to a Hardly Dormant Peace

June 10, 2013

Summer of 1955 Locks of white Stagger daily along the wharf Converging to their maidens Grande dames that flutter, graciously atop the sound Through treacherous winds They jolt for the mighty deep Fuming with debauchery And drunk on the sour spoils of kin All to cast off the hefty years Lingering, at the foot of…

The Epiphany in Exile

June 8, 2013

What I believed were the doings of affection Stoked the flames of my billowing deceit They tower higher into silver garbed skies Ever looming, above thresholds to come But her smoke stacks cannot reach Far beyond each rolling height I claim The scalding valor still urges me along So I may yield the fabric of…

Nights of Scarlet

June 2, 2013

Romances forged in scarlet nights Quell the inferno of looming frights The lover’s shed in torrents of passion Unshackling the bonds of ancient fashion Revel below your fluttering palms In a looping wisp and worldly calm The hush of closeness repels the wind Brazen in wholeness, for all troubles around the bend A rendezvous engulfed…

June 1, 2013

Now or never! My destiny awaits, swooning at the stern Long for me to join her Breathless at every buckle and turn Now, more than ever!

May 31, 2013

My Spoiled Composure

May 30, 2013

The utter demise of my composure Is what I behold, with both elation and despair Rife with longing, I crumble beneath her mighty treads Bound to an insatiable hunger That festers madly within I steam for hours on end Groveling, as I falter with drunkenness Stricken once again with an unnatural illness That has long…

Happy Memorial Day Grandpa

Vagrant Slabs

May 25, 2013

We are pieces, jam-packed in an illusion Shape shifting through the empty voyage of time To the vagrant slabs, caught up in their own being Carry on in your aimless stride Who will shuffle into desolation first? Crowding the overpasses As roads bustle with chaos As thoughts stray and clash Behind the rumbles of desperation…

Man of the Heart (Reading)

May 24, 2013

I’m really not a fan of the sound of my own voice. I sound way too nerdy.
