Trouble is here In the hazy desert wind In the distrustful stares Of vigilant neighbors – In the heartsick way Many hung their heads When the dust storm lifted Revealing ruination – It is here and now The once distant trouble, As a pain in the chest As cold, frightened sweat – It is here,…

Caving in under the weight Of a wavering vision, A deluded daydream Toppled over by a breeze – We’ve been crushed into the muck By its endless machine Glowing red the world over, On the verge of inferno – Its weathered gears whine Grinding spires to dust, An old and fragile world of oaths Sailing…

Shapeless, Lost in an armory Is a gentle phantom Whose bittersweet odes Ring softly in its halls – In the steel grey fort, Through its turrets and trenches The apparition roams For any breach in its armor – In the iron-sighted eyes Of its shell-scarred bunkers The young melody flowers Through the cold barbed wires…

The saga forges on After falling When you’re twisted and torn And you rise to your feet, Your mind spiraling in fury – The sacred fable unfolds While your ears are ringing From the roaring blasts, The falling shrieks of inferno – The aimless road unreels Over the wrath of rapids, Weaving over chasms Into…

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 –…
