Holding on to an aimless cloud By a fraying thread Above the menacing ground, Pocked with tunnels – How much longer Until I fall untethered Into an ancient pain, Chained to a whisper? – How much longer Until I’m flayed apart By honest hands As we sink in the mire? – I’m holding on To…

Running From the chill of silence, As a road snakes forward Though open desert And sidewinds through Eden – Chased Through an empire’s fading spark Where the sidewalks are beaten Into dust behind your stride – Midnight looms large Behind our searching eyes Always hungrily scouring Pouring light into the abyss – For all that…

I’d love to dive again Into the emerald warmth, And soothing foam Of an afternoon tide – To break loose from the vise Of our disquieting times For the beach bonfire Still alive at high tide – Even if it’s a dream That I’ve woven in agony, While spiraling in heartbreak, I burrow in its…

I’m calmest As a traveling phantom As a roving vapor As a passing illusion In the moon’s silver light – I am fed by the thunder Of familiar voices, Trading friendly volleys On their turf in the wild – It’s there I find refuge In the rhythm of their banter Fending off the plotting serpents…

Above a canopy of smoke The ailing summer burns Too quickly forgotten In the valleys below – The passing city glowers In a shade of orange, In the wind-fueled storm Beyond the windshield glass – And the people float along Through their own storms of fire Beneath another clouded sky On a Tuesday morning –…

When skies were black and blue I was chased by the wind With fireflies in my stomach And I burned brave and bright – Before the forest enveloped me And those fearless years, Before the seeds of worry Were sown marrow deep – Too often I pass through the distant light Of that bygone life,…

No pain or elation, In the rows of cardboard houses The haunts of now distant Melodies and mantras – Friends and family chime But their words won’t sink They float alone to their islands Defiant in their gloom – The world’s colors run And bleed into each other Leaving paint palettes emptied And the heartsick…

Shivering As I fall to pieces In a crushing embrace, Pulled together by the gale Of her endless storms – I turn to shrapnel When the world ignites her wrath Cutting down all the prowlers Who plot in her shadows – I’m alive in the blast In the plumes of her fury Among her harvest…

Sustained on shallow breaths The world’s tempo quickens As a new pain charges To the base of my skull – All for a slim chance In tomorrow’s deserts The steepening price For our fleeting comforts – Swollen to the brink Of blasting asunder As panicked dreams circle above Like buzzards – Filled to the brim…
