The Fool In The Rain

Restaurant windows blazing lightOver rain slicked pavement.Warm glow embracing you as you enter.I remain in the limbo of the night,Watching you from across the green.The silent watcher in the parkStaring through the drizzling dark,Concealed in dripping sh...

Dark Knight Lost SoulOnce there was a young knight from the Spanish countryside.On one of his many journeys he did meet an exotic maiden, her hand promised to a great warrior from the isle of mists. He did so plot and coax this exotic maiden with grand st...

Clarity

Coming from despair to hope

I cannot stand, nor walk or flyOnly collide in my barren yardIn stunned moments of claritySoil still clutched in my handsTaste this despair and wormwoodStill bitter on my tongue; I bruise my fleshOn bark, dead roots and cold abuseMy face still stings with...
