“...real people finding courage
to offer love and care
to those who are wounded.
Which is all of us.
That’s when I woke,
determined to audition
for that show every day
for the rest of my life”

You evade the logic and the arguments telling you not to dream. You stay enchanted. A small spark that dances unseen. Placing your thoughts in songs that the fireflies chase. Stories that follow you home even on the darkest of nights.

I enjoy making prints from wrinkled up plastic bags, and then looking for faces and figures in the patterns.

Monotype. Acrylic on paper.

poertry is
a red wine
uncorked
on nights like this
where silence
grows heavy
right before
the full moon
comes to visit

Summers breeze
And Winters chill
Both wear the #enchanted
On their sleeves

Bare limbs of trees
Snug in snowy blankets
And carefree blossoms
Swaying their perfume
In the air

Intoxicating us with their charm
We become magical
Stories in the making

Of all the poetry I have ever posted here, this is probably the one I am most terrified for people to see...

But I wrote it for the #BastardPoetsOfDoom crew

A sequel to the Jaberwockky

I hope I'm not too unworthy.

∴ angels kiss the snow
lantern gaze that knows no age
wear hellebore crowns

grown now, shoveling
that knowing becomes maybes
dried stems in a box

flatten the fear
choose lush over what withers
leave corners behind ∴

All feared they could return. Yet Mars had been silent for a century.

We land. Not with tripods and heat-rays, but rovers that find lifeless cities. Dead, desiccated Martians.

Dissenters whose lamentful murals beg forgiveness for failing to stop the war.

A burning rhyme, a heavy heat,
Tossed before the final beat.
My palm is scorched, I pass the flame
Quick! Or you’ll be left with blame.
