upon her innocence..
he continued to laugh..

cold wind blows
as a crumbled newspaper tumbles
down the alleyway
desolation themes

early morning
sunshine, daydreams, and birdcalls
an old priest rambles on

lazy afternoons
collections
of lost thoughts and yesterdays

discordant voices
from points both of far and wide
follow common sound
a juncture of confluence
soon in perfect unison

I do promise
that
there is light
beyond
these lingering shades of gray
hope lives…
appears…..
as dancing kaleidoscopic images
those skittering scampering
fractal spectres
haunting auras
I know not why
something
dares pulse
far beyond
your hidden optimism
but n’er meant
to be enslaved
in the glom
needing only to dare
outside those
bounds and shackles
of self

(an eventual)Crashing
Just how many times
can you keep tempting fate?
that number, and it is your number
that which
eventually
comes around
then..and only then
when there is finally
no turning back…no more do-overs…
at that point
at any point
if life is
in review
just before
the
decisions..deciding..decided?
to step through
the gray
to the
inevitable
darkness
what i?s…what were?
your greatest
regrets
pains
angsts
secrets.
so well hidden
so carefully hidden
that still…will
continue
to haunt…pain
or
have you already
heard..felt..sensed
some deathwish?
just what makes you tick?
can you still see?
can you still hear?…
can you still feel?
anybody?
somebody?
something?
anything?
is there really
still…
no other way?
Quick…..
while there is still time
and opportunity
this is
your chance
only chance
last chance
want?
to change
path…direction
the choice…
is still
yours

yesterday’s
hopes and dreams
gone
having left
not unlike
fleeing thieves
on the lam

Poetic Fragments
mere steps
from a lover’s smile
reflections..echoed
outstretched arms
forever…teasingly
reaching across
a
crystal clear
surface of time,
still…always?
in all of it’s
pure soulless
liquidity
eyes..souls..hearts
seeking, searching…longing
whether it be
one thousand years
one thousand miles
an eventual reckoning
with their
predestined
fates
doomed…deemed…sealed
to
remain shrouded
and
lamented
where
grayed
corridors of time
always
a cold place
and where
failed…shattered
illusions…beliefs..ideas..plans
harsher yet
