The Garden of the Soul

poem 8

Within the heart, a garden lies,Unseen by any, yet it grows,Beneath the vast and changing skies,Through summer’s warmth and winter’s snows. No hand but mine may shape its ground,No voice but mine its hush may break;The winds may call, the storms resound,Yet still it blooms for my own sake. No fleeting star, no wayward breeze,No […]

Always Here

poem 7

The tempest rages, fierce and wild,A storm within, untamed, defiled.Thoughts collide like waves at war,Endless echoes, evermore.

Zzz, A Parabolic Function for Sleep

Wonder through pores, I open at the close. Tickling the toes of the three-faced ghost.Feelings for a thing that wakes in a dream,And begins to choke their friendliest host. Funny how they are, carrots (in) front of nose.Luring, training, killing Jesus in a toast.Occipital strain through a slit in the seam,Owns all in a flash, […]
