Common sense abandoned Countless warnings issued (remember how the skies roared?) Proof of Heralds night and day, growing body count of sacrifice victims Obvious Frankensteinian experimentation The whole worlds sees. The whole worlds knows. Devastating side-effects broadcasted Those who drink are robbed of empathy Those who drink can not feel God Those who drink change… Continue reading “What’s Your Poison?” – Poetry

“Free-will (and Other Lies)” – Poetry
A moving picture postcard, animated scenery, and dramas taken from the pages of a scripted comedy. What is it you see? Just what you expect: Material from Vaudeville and conveniences that lack All purpose, life, and passion - Set designs so cold and wooden. Who is there behind it? Who has fed the Beast? Who… Continue reading “Free-will (and Other Lies)” – Poetry
“They Ride!” – Poetry
The feast prepared, the silver laid. The fires of the shortest day. Porcelain. China. Crystal shines! The crescent moon to mark the time. Silks are spread upon the altar, Wine and mead for warmth and laughter. Heaven's gates then open wide, Giving way to the rushing tide Of all the Ancient Ones who view The… Continue reading “They Ride!” – Poetry

“Eyes Wide” – Poetry
Heritage replaced with agendas Unvarnished truth replaced with convenience Warmth and joy replaced with icy stares Growth replaced with competitive stagnation The proof, it screams! The eyes unveiled. Such a burden they often bear Minds filled with endless queries Scavenger hunts that last an eternity Ridiculed and cut down, yet they still persevere Their questions… Continue reading “Eyes Wide” – Poetry
“Dust Of Deception” – Poetry
I arrived at a performance filled with laughter and joy A light-hearted comedy to shake off the dust of depression So many care-free moments filled with wide-eyed innocence. But then I briefly recalled my heart's passion That key to illusions past, present, and future And it raised the second curtain on the theater before me.… Continue reading “Dust Of Deception” – Poetry
“To Those Who Harm the Children” – Poetry
Revelations made public Entering every home Tidings of swift retribution Utterly inescapable Riches turn to dust before them Naked truth given voice Three times the debt repaid Only the pure left standing Some balance finally restored Even the shadows disown you Neatly fulfilling the prophecy Disintegration of glamor Ends the age of terror… Continue reading “To Those Who Harm the Children” – Poetry
“Everybody Loves a Man In Uniform” – Poetry
In my day, there was no image No multi-colored hues, Yet we had the steady drum beat - We had the Joker, too. My mother's tears were wasted, Though I did it all for her - I sought to make my father proud. Oh, how the lies did burn! I never did remember The… Continue reading “Everybody Loves a Man In Uniform” – Poetry
“Choose the Light, Be the Light”: Site / Lit. / Personal Update

However, with the new year, I'm putting together some new… Continue reading “Choose the Light, Be the Light”: Site / Lit. / Personal Update
“Astaire and Rogers Divine” – Poetry
He said, "Let there be light!" But was that all? Far from it... The Goddess and the God spin around and around Astaire and Rogers Divine To a celestial harmony Sung by Their Children infinitely. And as They part ways, in that empty space Is the memory of romance eternal They must dance the boundary… Continue reading “Astaire and Rogers Divine” – Poetry
