Absent Cynosure

The land of eternal sunset — I originally submitted “Absent Cynosure” to the Move Me Poetry Battle via Twitter. Due to Twitter character limits, I was only able to submit part of the poem — here, I present it in full. Enjoy. I found myself in the land of eternal sunset. Dusk — immortal, holding hostage —…

Spare Change

We get what we can take — A prose poem. Last night I watched a man pay for his packs of Coca-Cola with a bag of spare change. His toothless frown — emboldened by the wrinkles encasing his face. …

A Lotus Unrooted

Marble and mud — “It’s like growing lotus flowers. You cannot grow lotus flowers on marble. You have to grow them on the mud. Without mud you cannot have lotus flowers.” Thich Nhat Hanh You sat me on a marble tabletop in the foyer of our home. You fancied me a porcelain doll — one…

This Old Earth

Keeps me in line — “Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you.” Thornton Wilder, Our Town There’s not much new to this place we call Earth — the wallpaper, once silk grandeur, is cracked, and people don’t want wallpaper anymore. Or that’s what “they” say, and I guess it’s true — this…

Creatures of the Earth After the Flood

Antediluvian Manifestations — There is a life beyond the river of self-limiting belief. A redefinition of existence on our terms — untethered from the mundane expectations set for us by prisoners of an unimaginative trance. Across that twisting river of troublesome toil — on the other side of that insipid ravine lies a…

A Hot Mess Exposing

A spectacle for those who wonder — I missed the recent #MMP battle but felt inspired by the prompt: “Hot Mess.” Declare yourself, and make it messy. Like a sweet syrup–sticky at the edge of your mouth — words form and tumble out, giving shape to thoughts that lay dormant for years — pinned beneath conformity’s wreckage of socially…

No Pot of Gold Waiting

Luck you will not find — At the end of the rainbow, luck you will not find. Simply a myriad of reasons you’re searching was a waste of time. For no luck resides at the rainbow’s end. Instead, you'll realize: that what is, right now, is your best friend. Not what was or what you wish…

I Saw Your Ghost Upon the Moor

A tale of allure and addiction — I saw your ghost upon the moor. I knew it was you by the way you waved to me — not half-heartedly nor with gusto– just sheepishly — just you. I waved back, garnering glances and savory snickers from the living beings nearby, but they couldn’t see what I could see the ghost of…
