Entangled
I am life unraveled, sinew and synapse shrouded in silence, a captive of conflated consciences. Transgressions abide patiently, inopportunely arising, denying tranquility’s touch.

Science Fiction
Could it be that ugly worlds disjointedWith weird solar flights and star collisionsRamping snarls and horrid visionsShould prevail over sweet love anointed?My wife was an impassioned devotee.I liked the stuff with a tailored dictionSome heavy hauling and some mysteryAnd no loving snork and dork addiction.She preferred a subtle feminismIn creatures multiarmed and verminousAnd abhorred my…

I Am
Keep me close, push me away.I’m a lover, I’m a stray.I’m the poison in your veins,Sickly sweet and bitter remains I’m the watcher in the night,Reaping pleasure from your fright.Casting shadows of deceit,I’m the friend from down the street.

Sonnet to Silver
Musing out of the depths of the universe,Thousands of shining gems adorned the skyThat let nightingales serenade with verseOf Aeolian tongue with feathers to fly;Up in the cradle of sweet mementoLike the spring of youthful rosebuds and dills,Still innocent and sweet so as to growAt the foot of majestic purple hills;Tender as songs only at…

Musical Miracle
VERSE 1:By Royal Command on the Opening Night,Came the Christmas debut of the world’s Leading Light,And though, at that time, the cast numbered few,They knew in their hearts they’d been given their cue,And down through the ages their story has passed,Ensuring each Christmas is never the last! CHORUS:Lights! Music! Action! The Advent Calendar directed,Let the…
