You! I challenge you to your wits! If not your wits, then I challenge your speech, And if you will not speak, I won’t too; For I shall challenge your silence instead, Watch you bequeath your glory to me And rise: a better spectre of myself. I swindle and I speak with flatulence, Unwavering avarice... Continue Reading →
Of Desire and Denial
In spirals woken and knocked back again Into my reverie where she comes in white And by the spirit of December cold slain Within the pallor of knolling flying time. I gloat on her chiselled chin and fair skin On her radiant shoulders and her softly heaving Bosom; a reverberating nocturnal din, Smirking she... Continue Reading →
Of Azure, Brooks, Life and Rhymes
When there is no name on your lips And into a fluoroscent azure you slip Like tea in the morning with a song And a conversation two fortnights long To do what one wants to do and die In fame after life fly For a loved one cry And in parchments wrinkled and wry... Continue Reading →
She Painted Fire Across The Skyline
Weaving a wand twisted Across the landscape old Where the wind blew west And she stood in white Awaiting the swans' lament To carry her to her demise To the haunting wonderland Away from the taciturn autumn A cold reprieve, a release From the shackles of guilt Of souls corrupted, souls split In despicable seas...

Of An Insomniac Town
Two lamps at the window, Two men spake their woe, Two hours to heart's content To avert an impending dent. One in spirits lay low Another assuaged his woe, One solution to sorrow at hand To lift the spirits of the land. "Five to midnight", mother said, To bed, scurry off to bed; Obedience is...

Somniferous Rambling
Somniferous; Eyes stared at me, Like an apparition facing In the mirror, almond-like, A breath encasing the scene Like smoke, confusing, confounding, A mistique stare- cold and white. I freeze in a breeze sharp, it was so real Like the walk in lost wonderlands, Rides appalling, will I ever come down? It was so... Continue Reading →
The Worm and The Vine
Clinging to a fiendish vine, It squirmed to save a fall, Last sip of torrential wine, It flexed and tried to crawl. Trying to get a grip As death smiled discretely, A slender twig warped and nipped Around its fragile entity; One twitch followed by another, In vain; the hunter hurried, A battle lost but...

Trial-I
Fragments of present day lie, Harried, they all scream “fie!”, I stand and blatantly lie, They only wanted to be free! Appalled, the jury looked at me, “Free from captivity, a life forlorn,” Said I and looked unto the jury, “Thou art a devil in this town!” -Yelled Marie; her voice torn.
Ghost Reveries
Before the gates of perdition, Your blasphemous life of addiction, I see you wet and palpating, I am your dreaded ghost reveries. You see me not past the curtains, As you like a fool seek atonement, You feel me in the atmosphere, A shadow lurking within shadows despaired. You hear the hounds bay,... Continue Reading →
Death Tells A Tale
Hands covered in gore, Conscience needled with guilt, A mind laden with sorrow, A heart devoid of its beats. Prey of foolish anger, Hunted by swift fury, No judgment, no consciousness, Death carved another story. Brandished weapon in hand, Betrayal misconstrued by man, All hell hath broke loose Cannon fire in the head;... Continue Reading →
