Daddy

I once knew a man
who is sorely missed.

Going out to sea he was,
but as he left that night;
he placed upon the forehead
of each daughter
a sweet and gentle kiss.

Overcome by terror
I screamed;"Don't go, please stay,
if only to run away and play!"
With a laugh and a smile,
a pat on the head he did
simply say,
"Goodbye"

Guided by water and
a youthful soul somehow
I knew the oce...

Morrigan

Looking from the darkness of my evergreens
I see the human race has moved beyond
this space to where destruction of the
wild and free is bound to their every
whim and every need.

Even in the people who say they hug
the trees I found they ride in what
do they call them, ah yes, SUV's; which
spews forth stuff to which no one
should ever have to breathe.

I am but a humble servant of thi...

The Mother

Song of the Mother



The Mother can be heard
in the whistle of the wind.
Though none have truly listened
for two thousand years.

upon the winds has awakened
the hearts of her children.

They move to the future,

but in the waters of the sea,
in the mountains of the earth.
Through the cac...

The Alley

I always wanted to walk down that dark alley,
with the gunshot holes in the brick walls
and words so unseemly that I can't
recall ever using them myself.

I always wanted to see if there
were any blood stains on the
concrete walkway mixed in
with all the garbage we leave behind
as we delude ourselves in modern
luxuries and technologies.

I always wanted to see if I
could survive that ...

Color of my skin

I was born this way,
I did not ask to be
as I am, so remember this;

I am not the one that
stole you from your lands
or took that which did not
belong to me. I am not the one who
brought you to this place
or destroyed your sacred space.
I am not the one that
raped your mothers
and daughters.
I am not the one that
killed your fathers,
brothers or sons.
I am not the one
that brought...

Dark Phoenix

rising swelling

from ashes

long cold

removed from

the fire at

a place

undesired

by times

endless rage

once casting liquid

fire upon those that

lived death among the many

left to preserve terror for all

time and

she laughs

ripened and

sweetened

with the cries

of pain made by

those that

remain lame

for their

souls she

does claim
