Find the angle
That cuts your rage.

cracks
in the ice
seek to influence
your advice –
at a price.

Flickers of rays
Define the days
Ending, with sparks of
Decay.

Phenix

In rivers that flow
We surely don’t know
Which direction
Our future
Will go.

End your search
Define your life
Detail your forgiveness
Unwind your strife.

Venice

A magical world
Seeks
To entrust its beauty
And to enlist its children
In avenging its
Honor.

The edge of laughter
Inside
And then out
Reveals a guilt
Inviting a conflict
Encouraging a mutiny
Residing in agony
Outside
Of your in.

Panama City, Panama – April 2012

High

the grease
in the sky
denies us
the hidden mysterious
why

why indeed
does the sky
try
to keep hidden
a mystery.

I sense
The pain
The utter desperation
In being
Insane.

mine

I remember the future
I remember to see
The beauty behind
What makes me be
Free.
