So Hot, So Cold

Lost at sea in a home away from home
Found in dreams' deepest escapes I roam
Another regret more sour than the last
I never forget the future of my past
 
So far below becomes boiling vat
So high above freezing faster than that
In between I shiver and sweat
Lost in dreams downriver toward death
 
Found at sea choking on waves as I'm trying to sing
I can't do anythi...

Love In A Sea Of Clouds

The sun, she waits for my steady eyes
Frozen still, I long for azure skies
Memories as whims faded with time
Judgments lost on passionless crimes

My vision, never more palpably clear
Than you breathing softly, holding me dear

The rain, her song of motionless tides
Parched unspilled, our fates cosmically collide
Patience on an island yet explored
Revelries of a heart long ignored
...

Escapade 33

To choose all
Explode
And move the hoist extension
far from the escapades

As a leap day away
Do they but not control me
to die in you? 
So ours is sure to last,
as can the sleepless rays
of heartbeats sung dissonant
for the eyes of never-after

For a beautiful few
will my November spice attract
To cradle you sure
On thorns mirrored outside-in

As a deep sea ignores
The ...

Once only of old, originated one omniscient overbearer ostensibly overseeing one ocean oasis omnipresently. Organic, open obedience over optional ordinances oriented obviated omnipotence ordinarily.

On occasion opposite order orchestrated oppressive occurrences, obligations obviously obstructed optimistic operations. Original offerings often ousted opprobrium, omitting oligarchical, offici...

Now never nears. No novel news nor notable notion need negotiate navigation. Nobody, nothing, notices nature's neglected nadir.

Natty neophytes neurotically network nascent, noxious notoriety nonsensically. Naive narcissism negates noble neighborly neutrality. Now nonchalance nourishes nervous, novice negligence normatively.

Nationalized nostrums nullify noetic nutrients nefariously; ...

Myriad moons, many miles; multitudinous. My maritime migration met malevolent maelstroms, maladious moments moving, meandering.

Mountains majesty, mesmerising. Much mapping, mines made. Meager meals, menacing midnights.

Life.
Labile lands. Legerdemain longevity.
Lucid lunar luster lingers. 
Last leviathan lake lies like liquid languor.
Lethargically, levees let loose. 
Levels lower, leaving little leeway.
Lone, lurking life lackadaisically lionizes long-lost luminaries.
Lulling landslides leathally lessen livelihood.
Lightning laconically launches like lancet laughter. 
Lurid loss looms.
Loathsome ...

Japanese jungles
Jade jaguars jauntily jive
Jovial jesting

Jaded juggernauts
Jeopardizing jostling
Juxtaposed juncture

Jeweled jellyfish jeer
Jejune joylessness judges
Jovial jargon

Jittery jackals
Joining jocularity
Joint joking jumbles

Jollity jolts jowls
Judgments justly jettisoned
Joyful junta jaunt

Inside I'm imagining idyllic inhabitances. In inchoate intangibility, I intrepidly inaugurate indomitably international iconoclasts, interring industrial intimidations. 

Innovative independence is inalienable, including impartial indigenous idiosyncrasies.

Intrinsic introspections inherently incite imbroglio innocently.

Its idea is incorrigible, if incipient.

Its inception is immi...

Hurry. Halcyon havens herald happiness. 

Hostile hordes harbinge heinous havoc. Hurry. 

Horrendous human hysteria hails hallowed hunts. Holocaust heuristically hones hierarchies. Hurry. 

Head high, heed her horizons. Hold...horses here. Hide. Hush. 

Hegemonic hirelings haughtily hunt. He hears, he'll hew. Hit him hard. Hurry! 

Honorable, his head hemorrhages. Hasten! Hurtle hil...

Great golden guidance
Gallant generosity
Galvanize grandeur

Gossamer gardens
Germinating gestations
Give glimmering goods

Green grasses growing
Grazers gladly gathering
Gratification

Gourmet garnishment
Genuine gastronomy
Genial group growth

Genteel goodnights gloat
Gorgeous gratitude governs
Go gently guided

Flagrantly flabbergasted, Fitzy flees from frenetic fiasco. Fearfully fraught, footfall flounders fast, freeing forward form forthright. 

Feral factions fecklessly feed fatal fracases, fomenting fatuous foes fervently firebranding forlorn foreboding.

Fitzy follows forsaking footsteps from fortified fortress forges, facing forest frontiers for formidable farness. Feeling felicitous, fort...

Erstwhile, early evening, eight excellently equipped elephants encountered exquisitely effulgent extraterrestrial entrepreneurs esoterically extolling earthy edifices elatedly.

Each expressionless elephant experiences earfulls equalling elementally electric energy effecting ebullient epiphanies edifying enigmatic, existential envisionings.

Exulted, everyone exudes exuberant exercises eq...

Do dragonfly dreams depict dystopian dissolutions? 

Did darkness dauntlessly destroy dusk's devout display describing distant daylight?

Does defending defiant descendants deem dissidents diabolically dichotomous? 

During dire discord driven deliriously duplicitous, doesn't dormant debacles dissuade deleterious dissipations? 

Do desert doctors drink dry decisions, depending determi...

Chimerical clouds covet clover-covered cliffs crossing coastlined country culminating climactic cerulean concertos

Coral colonies clamour cumulatively, causing changing currents cryptically correlating copiously copacetic

Colossal causeways collude cogently, coercing clandestine cartographers callously capitulating covertly

Cinnamon chambers conspicuously confuse complacent captains,...

Before bedlam, beyond babylon burning bright

Baleful brothers bring broken branches before besieging bastions built by banished barbarians

Brandishing, both battle brazenly; busted, bloody bones best blows brutally, brawling brashly betwixt burgeoning braggarts

Barren, brackish beds bolster boisterous boasting, blaring bilateral berations

Brunt bout by belligerent bout, both boys ...

Abandon all actuality, anticipate any approach

Align aeronautic anchors, and advance agnostically

Ambient after-images accentuate algorithmic allegories

Ashen animal appearances adorning amber airwaves aspire authentic awe

Adroitly avoid antiquated acute angles accordingly

Abstract answers are always apparent after ambitions appreciate adaptability

Alert agreements activate ...

A Given Year

*This poem comes with a preamble, and I wish I could look into all of your eyes and that you'd be able to hear my voice as I tell it. February marked one-year since I threw caution to the wind and embarked on an indefinite world-travel adventure. Unlike my other trips to Australia, Fiji, and Bolivia, I've had no plans to return; no timelines or reality to snap back into, I was really letting go of...

Broken Tools

We are told to live by unspoken rules
And expected to work with broken tools
 
Twisted times of lovers' lies
Burrowed shallow 'neath hated ties
Alone together in this civil war
The safe zones' deafening silence roars
Friendly fire is our only choice
When criminal justice is the peoples' voice
 
We're sold furtive by unspoken rules
And left to play with broken tools

Spaceless

Breathe in the silence
of wander
Leave the future
to itself
Feed off the spiceless
cold yonder
Lead the venture
of true wealth
 
Games are waged
While wars are played
And plots are staged
As lies cascade
 
I'm a one-man revolution
Singing a nowhere song
To a world in convolution
Kept silent ever long
 
Dreams are the science
of wonder

Anji Droxaen

Two sides of the same coin
Blurred line at once always joined
Symmetric souls entwined
Of the energy which is blind
 
A smile like the summer's morn
Eyes that cradle a cosmos born
Skin so fine we melt embraced
Breath as pure as snow upon my face
 
Never-ending roles we play
From one another day to day
To try to be you, you try to be me
I lead to follow and I ...

Illumi-Not-I

Light; it sees from above and beyond
In fractal freedom solace
Like the breeze, an octave vagabond
A tactile grandoms' promise
 
Love rings like a bell
An ageless song sung so well
Peace; it hums our chords
From falling darkness it wards
 
Shapes of music merge form
Sacred geometric platform 
A tune to soothe the savage beast
Attuned to prove the adage beats!
