The Hunted
Casual passersby
Send fear on the prowl
Hunting, scouring
For the meat of anxious hearts
I waver
In the muck
Of daily pleasantries
In the mire
Of placid words
Devoid of any true purpose
Silence is refuge
Aloft, in the folds
Of restless thoughts
Where the winds
Thrive only to sooth
And send away
Every thread of dismay
Static Euphoria
I flood my ears
With static euphoria
As the mind trails away
And my limbs course
With primal desire
In spite of the wind
I cleave, the frigid night
Brimmed with the valor
Of melodic disarray
The earth
Becomes a passing blur
As I speed undeterred
Pouring
In buckets of sheer resolve
Until exhaustion
Quiets my laboring frame
And I exude, satisfaction
Content with the trail
I’ve thoughtlessly blazed

Merely a Conquered Life
I am the faint pulse
Lurking in the depths
Of scarred
And tattered flesh
Past downcast eyes
Burdened with fear
I cleave for the open
With a bounty of anguish
I fade into
The day to day patchwork
Where the fortunate beckon
And the timid weave
Unseen
I am
Merely a conquered life
That quietly wanes
Far away
From the turning world

Rationed Words
His silent simmering
Was a beacon
For those adrift
For those who swayed
Upon the currents of dreams
For the far-away travelers
Engulfed, by silent peril
He rationed his words
Through a labyrinth of verse
Through the treacherous bends
Of careless chatter
Inward he dove
Unfazed and quiet
As the watchful hordes
Simmered
In desperate longing

The Fortune of Slow Erosion
Life has its way
Molding and sculpting
My fragile form
I shape-shift
In the passage
Of great calamity
In the joyous swell
Of victory’s
Fleeting refrain
Shall I bask
In the fortune
Of slow erosion
Or be swallowed whole
By a surf of certain decay

Quiet Grief
Are free
From my bitten tongue
Yet no truth prevails
No heartache can crawl
From the ruins
Of my war-torn conscience
The toll
Of harbored sorrow
Shall beckon forever more
Never daring to clamor
For the waiting arms
Of the crude and heinous world
Never to draw
The care of roving eyes
That have seen
All of the same

Reverie of Apocalypse
A sudden flash
Tore away at the homely dark
Flooding the hollow void
With a clashing array
Of fire and hues
The canopy of night
Fluttered away
Carried, by a traveling wisp
Revealing
The eternal glimmer
Of ghostly
Constellations
I remained
Far from terrified
As I sailed for the care
Of faultless panorama
The life I knew
Was fully undone
Sinking at peace
Full, with quiet reverence
And I was
To regain my balance
For the tolling fowls
Were at their prime
I was
To gather
My scattered composure
And breathe
At ease
For the day
Was finally drawn

The Plundering Tide
Freight cars rain
Scattering plumes
Rich, with lives well-squandered
As nightfall dwindles
Beneath their endless
Arching cries
There are no sirens
Only a great span of silence
And the plundering tide
Brought forth, by eager hands
Havoc ascends
In murderous clouds
Heaven-bent
For their heinous jobs well-done
As tattered lives
Cleave to vengeance
Simmering with the hatred
Of legions, floundering
Within the waves of grief

For a Torturous Memory
I labor from below
Tunneling
Overwhelmed by night
Where the lights cannot pry
And the silent linger
In the firm clutches of sleep
Dig out!
Is the refrain I hold
The harbored scream
Which fuels my effort
Dig out!
Claims my blistered hands
As they toil in spite
Bloodied and maimed
Home
Is a cherished beacon
Wafting through the ruins
Of a once prosperous mind
A ceaseless memory
That soothes and torments
Never leaving me to waver
Never falling
Out of favor with my thoughts

Ghostly Regrets
Orphaned deeds
Now flood
The hull of my conscience
Storming the gash
As I topple over
Full with remorse
Hopelessly, Overrun
I reclaim the sorrows
I've spun and left for dead
In the bountiful silence
Where turmoil, hails supreme
Quietly listing
The dark is to loom
As a vise, crushing
From all around

Father Knows
I cave
A hopeless wretch
As bravery nears
Having conquered
The falling, fading day
Father
He spares few words
As his eyes trace my fear
Disheartened
And burdened with worry
My nerves draw chaos
In the rising fumes of despair
At the swell
Of the morrow’s hatred
Foreseen within, his tired eyes
Father knows
What awaits his feeble son
Fully aware of the carnage
That lingers, quietly simmering
But all questions fade
In the aft of my mind
Dispersed by the fear
He once carried, long ago
“I am afraid”
Would come to pass
In a sudden surge of valor

A Crime of Apathy
Wallowing
Within placid
Half-hearted stanzas
The unsparing void
Where I’ve stranded my thoughts
To marinade in squalor
Callous, ragged, and unkempt
Time draws breath
Desperately
Tussling with panic
In its slow, horrid demise
It withers at the hands
Of titanic reveries
Coiling the windpipe
And awaiting its final tremor
When all is motionless
Frayed and silent
By my heinous crimes of apathy
The earth will turn
In prosperous hands
As I trail unheeded
Through their proud
Diverging ranks

Fire-Bred Travelers
The days choked
Upon the great plumes of savagery
Cast out
By the furious and frightful
Lionhearts withered
In the shrill cries of ordinance
Scattering, impaling
All brazen, fire bred travelers
With sharp eyes
Forever swallowed
Beneath the leagues
Of unsparing silence
The careless thrash
Of brother and foe
Is buried deep
In the soils of home
Beyond the waves
True chaos thrives well
Nestled, beneath the skin
As the cruel ravager
Of a quiet
Blissful slumber

Keeping Misery at Bay
Our time
Is cruel, to hastily wither
In a peaceful
Steady decline
As we converse
Unaware of the age
The bedlam
We know as home
In our roving
All turmoil wanes
Fearful
Of the aimless chatter
In the casual fall
Of idle words
Spent
To keep misery at bay

Beneath My Feral Hide
The windowpanes caught fire
And scorched slow
As I labored awake
I strained and heaved
To be clear and conscious
To coast through the morn
Unburdened, by days long lost
Still
I labored onward
Shroud
In nightmarish agony
I remained watchful
With prowling eyes
True to their search
For the cause
Of each mindless
Daily breath
The hunger
Never fully fades
For it remains within
Beneath my feral hide

The Fruitless Binge
No glass was left unscathed
For the night retained
Its juvenile sway
For chaos ruled
Our trembling days
So we burdened the eves
With our harbored dismay
As the night
Teetered, unhinged
And the meek hearts yearned
For a fruitless binge
They cleaved
Each virgin craft
Through rivers brewed gold
On their fever-driven rafts

From Bloodshot Eyes
Like the passionate stream
Of walled in anguish
Through the fractures
Of bloodshot eyes
My words fall cold
Upon deathly pavement
Callous, dreary, and mute
These endless roads
Of solemn grey
Shall court my soul to ruin
To be swallowed whole
By a storm drain’s thirst
And leveled
Beneath the might of seclusion
The grief I hold
Falls unworthy
Of the hopeful eyes
They yearn for

The Treachery of Half-Sleep
My eyes
Remained razor sharp
Despite the fog
The treachery of half-sleep
Among roaming shadows
I scoured with vigilance
Aware, of the restless world
My limbs fully, prepared for flight
My pulse climbed
At predawn’s haunting loom
Festering
Stout with memory
Swarmed by forgotten ghosts
They yearn
Mournfully
To dwell
In the arms of my present
Yet these eyes shall not dull
They cannot waver
Nor recede
Into a nightmare’s
Sweltering furnace

War Raged in Short Bursts
I plunged
Into a murderous sleep
With concrete limbs
Obeying, the quicksand’s pull
Among the tombstones
Proud, grey and stern
They scaled higher and higher
In the gradual wane of the surface
Thunder and rain
Were a natural send off
Like mournful, pattering snares
With Mauser’s raised
For their unified salute
Once tame reveries
Lunged forth
With a primal hunger
As the world softly droned
In comfortable monotone
War raged inside
In short harrowing bursts
Unraveling my fabric
In every mile conquered
I recovered with haste
Through white, luminous halls
My nerves
Stewing in agony
Fearful, of the nights to come

A Traitor's Thoughts
I bear traitorous thoughts
In the sneering eyes
Of swift passersby
One glance
One quick swill
Is all
That is truly required
To retain the entire narrative
Of a turncoat’s cowardice
Yearning, to revise skin
I hold traitorous thoughts
Earlobes that quake
To mankind’s
Every tune
My words blossom
True to their own flair
Instilled, with their own customs
That singe away, at timid hearts
I hold treacherous thoughts
That lead frail minds
Through a maze
Of unending distress

Truth-Bearing Romance
They embarked gleefully
For the hopeless void
Yearning to elope
To be free of scalding glances
Beyond all voices
The shrill cries of guardians
A truth-bearing romance
Was swallowed whole
By a charitable
Merciful distance
Hidden away
Their affections flourished
As they traveled carelessly
Along the curves and contours
They conjured as one
Carnivorous huntsmen
Remained in savage want
For young romance
To be undone
Torn asunder by strife
Yet defiance bound
The eternal pair
As they voyaged onward
True to themselves alone

For the Greater Fable
They are black lines
Lumbering
Toward certain oblivion
Unaware of their purpose
Of the truth they bear
Within their every morsel
They march onward
Driven
By the edge
Of a madman’s quill
Sewing shut
The greater fable
Laboring, for the close
Of worlds carefully spun
Black lines
Cannot waver
If steady hands
Lead them on
The Dormant Soul
Nothing stirs within
In the hours I depart
Thoughtlessly roving
Among
Patches of green
Cradling
Their newborn
Springtime shades
I am boxed in
Bound to eternal grey
Trudging through
Its lifeless and hollow refrain
How I yearn to be winded
Truly, devoid of words
To be fully engulfed
By the agony of raw emotion
I must
Reclaim exhilaration
Or wither
Starved, frail, and forgotten

Ironclad Fighters
Falling salvos
Pummeled me with bare fists
And the earth danced wildly
Colors mingling
As I caved with haste
Forward I tumbled
Coursing with peril and shock
My bones still thundering
Ringing
As the curtains were drawn
Nightfall was brief
As I struggled to ascend
Reclaiming my resolve
To seize the faltering day
Like deafening howitzers
My arms slaved onward
Blazing with vigor
Toiling, upon mangled flesh
We were the ironclads
Consigned to our time
Boiling over
With primal hatred
We were the ironclads
Hopelessly marooned
To an isle
Preserved, only in mind

Far from Triumph
How easily
I become hollow
Far from the mountains
I’ve sculpted with care
So swiftly
I become derailed
A tower of ruin
Overrun by despair
Exhaustion clings
Forcefully
And the earth grows silent
Withering, unclaimed
How I’ve thoughtlessly
Disbanded
Succumbed to a fear
I've coddled deep within

Binds of Young Distress
Like scalding magma
The panic surged
Raised from the caverns
Of my guilt-laden conscience
And yet
Onward I trailed
Through the sweltering hellscape
I knew by name
As wreckless thoughts
Raved madly within
Blistering my insides
With the coursing of young distress
Still I trailed
Maimed and ragged
Toiling forward
Drenched in dismay
I strived and strived
To thrive in the arms of bliss
But the hour of rest
Lied beyond my weary reach

Thrive Faintly
I pass through
Graciously
Sparing the living
Of my sorrowful regrets
I loom peacefully
Catatonic
And depart with ease
Uprooted, from solid ground
My role
Is that of a timid breeze
Thriving faintly
In the aft of hectic minds
The untroubled living
Must never know
Of the trembling breath I draw
They must carry on
Blissfully driven
Sure in their roles
And true to their labor
For I am
But a mere passing wisp
A tranquil thought
That soothes and wavers unseen

Block by Block
It was
The fuming carcass
Rusted with passing time
Where scores weaved
Thoughtlessly
Beneath its crumbling stature
Cowering
Drew death ever-closer
Within the clutches
Of concrete misfortune
It neared without a sound
Unsparing
Sly and callous
Like a maiden
On the prowl
Seductively
Swaying with malice
Block by block
It all tolled the same
With selfish reveries
Billowing, heaven-bound
Preserve yourself
Was the endless scream
Heard from each shade
Of wayward sons
Regard your own
Was the bell’s daily toll
A cause, hoisted high
A beacon for every
Child of squalor

The Imposter
He is the marred
Offspring of opulence
Cleaving, moss covered trails
That yield, only strife and ruin
In his beleaguered mind
He is the solemn
Son of hardship
Yet truthfully
He is safe and sound
Beyond the reach
Of the harshest perils
He thieves mindlessly
From the cruel plights of strangers
From the daily scowls
He greets tenderly
Yet they all peer inward
To the clean slate he harbors
Seeing pastures of green
Among blistering blue currents
Clear and quaint
He is bereft
Of the mires
They truly know

Armored In Evergreens
They impale the skies
With spires of stone
Defiantly braving
All perils to come
Cloaked in evergreen
They soon blaze
With autumn red
And remain
Unfazed
By the scourge
Of winter’s loom
I yearn for their heights
For the courage of ancients
To be among the unswayed
Revered
For the rest of time

The Quiet Earth
Will the world hoist high
Its shredded banners?
Raised proudly to waft
In the foul gusts of war
Once again
For our corners of home
For the gallant forebears
That stormed sure and bold
Carnage prevails
Time after time
And no one dares recall
Never sparing a second of remorse
When the winds howl
In the final uprooting
Will clarity taunt
Our fleeting cries?
A quieter earth shall turn
In spite of
The many that were

My Niche of Yearning
On and on I writhe
Without a moment of rest
Stirring
With a hearth of longing
Scattering
The embers of distress
When am I to cave
To commune
With the rising dust?
Like the shards of old
Toppled over
By the swift and tireless present
Far off reveries
Have cursed me to rot
In this niche of yearning
In these trenches of regret
By the hour they cry
Faltering shrill
Scattering the kind earth
Into flaming shards of death
The howling departs
And I’ve long eroded
Into a withering shadow
Torn away from my former self
The Luxuries I Disown
I cannot speak
Of the “sorrowful mundane”
Of the warm luxuries
I am swift to disown
Comfort ensnares me
And I must never weep
Nor bellow in agony
From within my homely shell
Hardship rests afar
Beyond my coddled frame
Beckoning for my silence
Yearning to quiet
My thoughtless sniveling

Until Struggling was Futile
The allure of silence
Was an anchor in secret
Drawing me ever closer
To the depths of many before
It was a tremendous weight
Laying claim to my weary figure
Lassoing my limbs
In the boundless haze
Of my day to day basking
Until the final gasp
I did not know
Until struggling was futile
I was not sure
Gleefully I sank
Until the surface
Was beyond
My desperate reach

Ragtime Anthems
I revel in the fond gusts
Of cherished refrains
Penned long ago
As the notes flare
And soar to their prime
Meeting the fervor
Of decades lost
My mind toils peacefully
Beneath the waterline
Of ragtime anthems
My mind trudges assured
And sparks a frenzy
Inside my quiet marrow

The Unheeded Whisper
I carry on
Like an unheeded whisper
Buried alive
By the bustle of conversation
Words gush away
Expunged without a care
As thought withdraws
From each cold lifeless grin
My world
Consigned to haze
Weaves flawlessly
Through this chattering labyrinth
As they all part
Instinctively
Adhering only
To the warmth I emit
They obey only
The shadow I cast
For a passing instant
When irritation befalls

True to Their Silence
Placid grey waters
Mimic the sullen clouds
Swallowed
By the unending chorus
Of mankind’s inner strife
They’ve grown cold
Dormant and silent
Never sparing an instant
Of pigment or sound
As young and old
Carry on
Hopeful for the rays
With eyes stern and vigilant
For just one strand
One glimmering
Shred of hope
Yet the seas remain
True to their silence
Sealed until the hour
Our anguish
Is torn asunder

My dreams were feather light
Safe and sound
In the refuge
Of eras past
Fluttering carelessly
Through nightfall’s hollow void
Never sparing a sound
Of agony or strife
From the brightest flare

Were cruelly swept aside
Grinding my reveries
To a useless pulp
To the falling embers
I greet as slumber nears

The Iron Gates of Havoc
At the hoisted day
Stomach’s churned
In the permeating oil
Salt air and salvos
The sputtering engines
Grew to their murderous drone
Wading steadily
For the iron gates of havoc
Below their toil
Hushed words prevailed
Clamoring for the skies
Through thick plumes of black
Beyond the raging tides
The iron gates sprung forth
And Neptune’s dark overture
Swallowed, young fortitude whole

Passing Terrors
It is all in my mind
These passing terrors
Nightfall’s tremors
Are but a transient phase
It is strife I must
Endure brazen
Drained of reluctance
Devoid of all fright
Quivering nerves
Are nothing at all
They do no true harm
For the heart
Toils in defiance
The blood shall course
As done in days prior
Charging without fear
To ensure
I ascend unfazed

Swan Dive
Scorched days pave
Slithering paths in the sand
As the mind falls victim
Preyed upon by delusion
It has become my fate
In the safety and solitude of home
Where I burden my psyche
With only myself
Where I spiral unhinged
Dismantled and out of touch
Where I spiral unhinged
Dismantled
Out of touch
Where I spiral
Unhinged
Out of touch
Dismantled
Ivory walls
And popcorn covered ceilings
Inch close by the hour
As the mind softly simmers
Dismantled
Out of mind
Out of touch
I am tired
I have given my all
I am fully wrung dry
Dissolved
Unhitched
Spiraling
In mind
Until thoughts boil over
And melt and mesh
All the same
Out of time
Unraveled
In distress
Weightless Thoughts
All I uncover
Is the nagging present
As it fastens to my garments
In sheer desperation
For now
All passing thoughts
Are but hollow clouds
Content with being
Time soars on
As my footsteps meander
In search of fertile ground
And the promise it harbors
As I scour for the words
That chime honestly
The world grows dim
And I must defer away
Unable to spare
A scrap of bounty
Or a single strand of truth

Evading Delirium
The noxious fumes
Waft about me
Each hour I stray and wander
A companion
I desperately strive to evade
With all of my harbored might
Yet delirium hangs close
To compromise my sight
And render my limbs
Feeble, drained and helpless
The dust storm revels
Having swallowed up
My writhing frame
Like live bait
Swaying in the current
Awaiting the full weight
Of total, unwavering dark

They've Always Known
They all knew
Engulfed by their silence
As gossip wheeled on
Inside the folds of their thoughts
All that I’ve done
Sprawls out in open display
To be nudged and prodded
By the searing eyes
Of fellowship
They’ve always known
Anchored firmly to peace
So kind to never speak
So kind to seethe in secret
Yet soon
I am to bid farewell
To the soothing sway of discretion
For the kind and caring
Are destined to foam
They must boil over
At each heinous crime
Fastened firmly
To my harrowing name

Midnight's Loathsome Crime
Daybreak hummed along
With a vicious glitter
Through slain bottles of wine
Strewn and hollow
Their secrets firmly sealed
Before scorched windowpanes
Scores cried out
From the snares of agony
Tottering helplessly
For the threshold's glare
The ominous unveiling
Of midnight's
Loathsome crime

Tried and True Currents
Folks carry on
Like passing vessels
Loyal to their breeze
Their tried and true currents
A scene
I retain from afar
As I flood with reluctance
In the flourish of mundane melodies
Before
Each sorrowful endeavor
I recede fearfully
Before the silent
Inevitable sinking
I retreat
With the greatest haste
Letting horizons fade
And their joyless songs
Capsize forever more

Departing from Memory
Finding refuge
In a haze of forgetfulness
When the mind is charitable
To spare me of the callous present
All glaring faults
Wither and wane in silence
As I revel freely
In this lapse of memory
Unshackled from the curse of daily grief
This fleeting solace
Is an isle amidst tribulation
Where I sprawl my tired roots
And swallow momentary bliss
But clarity looms
And yearns to cleave
My cherished, fog-laden thoughts

My Cherished Labor
Into the folds
Of my daily gracious labor
I fall gleefully
Cleansed of discontent
Marooned to my affairs
Amidst surging tides of black
The earth softly withers
So thoughts may stream unbound
Yet everything
Falls to shambles
With the greatest ease
As waning slabs
Swallowed whole
By the rude bustling
Of consciousness
Farewell
To these brittle reveries
May your transient wonders
Meet me once again

Single File
It was a crying shame
The smoldering remnants
Encaged in fiery ruin
Leaving friends to sway
As a single file homage
Teary eyed and staggering
For the final rose-laden altar
To recall is to drown
Clasped firmly
In the sure fall of dead weight
Overcome
By the depths of grief
Unable
Unwilling to resurface
It remains a horrid crime
A familiar fragrance
Never truly evaded

Amidst the Sullen Drone of Slumber
Thoughts wheel forth
Trapped in relentless motion
Combing the sprawling flatlands
Of the quiet, barren night
Where inquiries blossom
Moment by moment
To set craniums afire
With the glittering shards of longing
They illuminate
The swerving, shadowy roads
In their timeless strive for insight
Until then
The mind journeys
Amidst the sullen drone of slumber
Carrying on vigilant
Defiantly, sifting and scouring
I've pieced together yet another book of poems, which can be read in its entirety on the website linked below. If you like what you read then please share it with other poetry readers.

What Passes with Thee?
What passes with thee
In your hellish burden?
In the lofty quest
That must transpire
Infernal hours loom
Before triumphant plumes
Laden,with premonitions
Of shrill,unsparing havoc
May the blood course freely
Born from stoutest hearts
Full with young vengeance
Armed with fond remembrance
May hardships passed
Cry on faithfully
As echoing ghouls
Stirred conscience
By trembling earth
What passes with thee
Oh heart brimmed with scorn?
Primed and vigilant
At the steady stream of ordinance
What passes with thee
When mayhem takes flight?
To plague timid winds
And coil nature’s resolve
The Triumphant Slaughter
Our blind firing floods
The hull of our vessel
Until the hour
We topple over
Shell casings
Butchery
And all
Crude yearnings
Billow high and thick
Coiling the flare
Of panoramic daybreak
Yet sirens mourn
Untiring
Ever-vigilant, proud and shrill
Mountains of white
Shall surely triumph
As stoic remains
Of the blissful life that was
