Romance : An Abridged Version

She will drop another tincture in her tea And say that it's for me. But I know without asking Where this conversation is going. The hand holding is over. Another summer in the books. I've been reading noir all year - Suspicious of everything. What clued me was her breathing Lesson learned. Once more an abridged version Of something like romance passes. She will drop another tincture in her tea And say that it's for me. While I've known without asking Why it wouldn't have lasted Long enough for anything But this - An abrupt Ending.

Passing of Pan

Many sad faces , & much simulated grief; also much candid joy. At the funeral of the boy-king - The passing of Pan Was to the benefit of supposedly Grown men. Curing them at least Of wising they were him. Old man Hook's fear of bad form Never troubled a lost boy before Peter Pan's brashly boyish voice - Cracked with the onset of puberty. When all the Wendys in Neverland Ceased to be ideal mothers to him The crocodile maw - Was fast approaching. The passing of Pan From boy to man Was less like flying And more like falling - Falling in love. Many sad faces & much simulated grief ; Also much candid joy. At the wedding of a man Who was

Isn't It Weird

Mutually satisfying weirdness Is as rare, as love - true love. We call it what we do because – It doesn’t change us or who we are, So much as strengthen us - And the people we shall become. Isn’t it weird, how – Acceptance in the eyes and heart Of someone, the right someone. Can mean so much? Isn’t it weird, how - Love is the one four letter word We all want to hear – But is said so much less by comparison? Mutually satisfying weirdness Allows us a fuller kind of confidence. A richer kind of life - With less regrets. To find a counterpart - Of compatible heart Both must be honest About their Wei

Towers, But Not Castles

Playing with Legos on a living room floor. He said I will build towers – but not castles. A twenty-first century sentiment From an American boy, age three. The case against castles and kingdoms – In this country, Was decided in a revolution. One that gave us – Independence. And though he only knew his own mood – I was moved. To think about The progression- Of family structure And its relation to antiquated architecture. The aspiration of the tower – The American skyscraper. Was once, and still is, To reach heights. To stand tall, and stand out. As parents – we want such things for our children. We te

Death An' Fermentation

The jailhouse is hot an' overfull. Human-stink is somethin' awful; 'Specially with so much hate afoot. The inmates are makin' wine in a toilet. Ebeneezer knows of few things as certain - As death an' fermentation. An' he supposes men will do, As they will do, when they are desperate; Still, he'll not be drinking from a toilet. A man of means, May not remain so fortunate; But, he'll not be made a dog. Self-respect is a habit hard forgetting. Ebeneezer knows of few things as certain - As death an' fermentation. He feels the hollow in his bones - An' knows – he ain't much longer for this hell, Soon he's goin'

A King Goes To Court

Men in this profession, This tradition - They mind their business An' till their own graveyards. Season after season They build em', run em' , n leave em'. Ebeneezer Sneed would heed the northerly wind An' he usually stayed ahead of lawmen. Still, the drought he knew, was uniquely true He was an heir-less king ; Counting hours on crooked fingers. He'd kept his secrets in lonely contempt. Till the silent king; screamed so loud, That on his lone day in court - He was held in contempt.

Staged as if Crashed

night hangs from a tree in a body that somehow became both more and less than just a body, became an expendable indicator of where and what we are, a weather balloon, of sorts hanging, staged as if crashed into the treeline instrumentation logging compiling, yet another garish open-casket data set another boy burnt split, swollen blown open like a flower staged, as if purposely nursed into the shape of the pine box around him night has always known a terror in sunrise, that of its sons swaying in the treeline, sunken in the quarry, or chalked onto the sidewalk that of its sons with empty hands that look like guns in the panicked seconds whe

Don't Fall In Love With A Writer

Just because they will bruise your neck with pearls of metaphors; and splash palettes of colours onto your chest with reckless waves and boundless twilight. They will smear ink onto your lips as you kiss them because that is how they leave hickeys. They are wildest in their 2 a.m. diary, and liveliest in book racks of novels; they have butterflies in every heartbeat and they breathe living poems. They leave trails in libraries and coffee shops like Hansel leaves crumbs in forest and they have undying lovers because every love story is ever living in their abyssal oceans of analogies and

My Bio

I'm a writer of poetry and stories looking for inspiration. I love photography though I know next to nothing about it, I see this site as a resource for things waiting to be written. So if by chance you think one of your works could feed my addiction for enlightenment or would just like to see a man struggle to digest and interpret your artistic genius - in poetry or prose form feel free to leave a comment or send a note. thank you in advance.

A Dry Country - I NEED ARTISTS!

0 min read

If you're a watcher of mine you may have noticed that much of my work of late has been labeled in the artist comments box as part of "A Dry Country" - or if you're just now browsing my page you may see that I've put up a featured gallery folder of said series. Now that folder does include a brief description of the project but I thought it might be a good idea to mention it here in my dA journal as well ; because the limited synopsis I've got up doesn't fully elaborate on what I'm trying to create ; nor does it explain the rather unorthodox structure in sequencing I'm using to carry the narrative. As the gallery blurb states I am hoping to se
