Forked Tongue – A Villanelle
Forked Tongue What is this language you speak?That I am pretty and I amuseYet no deeper do you seek Am I there to decorate and be sleekArm candy to enhance your egoWhat is this language you speak?

Losing My Religion
Losing My Religion There is no copyright on God It’s a free for all game All taking a different route But the ending is the same Babies drinking scripture In their mother’s milk Buddhists shaving their head In robes of orange silk Distorted thinking Insisting God is a warmonger Murdering innocents For a life toContinue reading “Losing My Religion”
Impasse
Impasse The fragility of the moment causes me to stop where I am Another word, another step could break the dam We glossed over the issues Copious amounts of energy devoted to the cause Nothing was resolved I break for a pause No palette for your indignation I ignored the caustic remarks The recurring themeContinue reading “Impasse”
Maelstrom
Maelstrom Each day I wake not knowing what to expect Will today be comforting or suffocating There is no way to detect I can sail smooth seas of love and tranquility Be a recipient of your devoted attention and surprised by your spontaneity Or do we navigate a maelstrom on this imperious voyage to destructionContinue reading “Maelstrom”
