People Watching

When out and about on an average day,
The season is not all important,
One can behold many an interesting sight,
More exciting than exotic birds in flight.

Find a well-crossed place to sit and stay
Where activity is most prominent,
And begin to observe the creatures there;
Be sure to not alert them with your stare.

Pain Compared

Three Roses

The pain comes and goes,
It ebbs, it flows;
Tidal forces tear apart,
Sundering a tender heart.

Pack

The Wife of Time

She waited for her Time to come,
She wished she could have Time back.
She searched for her lost Time,
But her Time never arrived.

The Adventures of Stern and Wake

Awash in the sea-world
Sailing jetsam of craft,
With distorted trail,
Silent guide to recent past.

Descent

Like shattered crystals,
Reflecting the shards of the surreal
And unattainable world,
Do they fall.
Endless, the shimmering slivers
Of sorrow descend.

Hypocrisy

No one knows,

Yet everyone cares.

No one is wrong,

Yet everyone disagrees.

How can this be?

Our lives are hypocrisies.

Celestial Visions

Times beginning marked
A fundamental drive:
To understand the heavens vast,
To comprehend; all strive.

Angel

She was an Angel,
Graceful, pure.
A kind an hopeful prayer
On her lips did endure.

Her voice was music,
Perfect, kind;
Ever lilting through the air,
Proclaiming peace of mind.

Storm Eyes (A Song)

Storm clouds roll and billow,
Swirls of grey orbiting the dark.
In the tempest I see your soul,
Ethereal visions, troubled, stark;
Pallid vibrance the dismal mark.

Vice: The Sequel

Vice

Fear Incarnate

    I've had a rare opportunity, a chance singular. Some would call it a horrific honor or perilous privilege, and others would call it a curse and bane. Call it what you will, I know what I have seen, what I have experienced, though whether for my salvation or damnation I am yet unsure. Certainly, there is a rather haunting cloud of a predatory, lurking nature that hangs about the whole scene. And what a scene it was; a dark scene, a constricting, breath-taking scene. For, you see, I saw Fear.

Contortion

Audible Smile

Summoned

Dancing, screaming, beating drums,

Something evil stirs, it comes.

Called upon by shrieking voices,

The sinister being revels, rejoices.

Summoned up from down below,

The vile presence begins to grow.

False Gems

Sapphire flames, unquenchable.
Indigo depths unceasingly hungry,
Vibrantly powerful,
Deceptively beautiful.

Symphony of Discord

Screeching horns,
Mental flack,
Scraping nails across the black...

Self Ruin

Foolish man,
O despicable knave!

Soul Flight

The tune is beautiful,
Full and vibrant.
It hums through the air,
Flowing like a warm wind,
A gentle zephyr,
Caressing the ears
Of those willing to listen.

Faerie Trail

Succor

Imploring cry,
Upturned palm,
Begging eyes,
Pleading psalm. Ω

My Enchanting Gamble

When the old becomes new,
When familiar no longer is,
When one path becomes two,
When minds no longer kiss.
