Aspiring writer and poet / "Do I dare / Disturb the universe?"- T.S Eliot
I long for the days forgotten, Days huddled along the bed of an old swamp, For days old and rotten, Days boundless, crushed by his weightless stomp. Nor let me arouse the familiar occasion, To tones of crackling ends, Let me not wither in sensation, Rather wander until I reach the old bends. Is it all round and fair? To care for his certain demise, But torment and rattle deep within my lair, Groaning my ascent into his holy skies. I too shall wait among his prescence, The Creator of darkness and fate, I shall know my essence.

Sonnet #1 - "I ought to be thy Adam."
“To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late And how can man die better For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods” Soft murmurs along the front line crackle like a broken prairie plough, The maples and oaks snapping with Every burst of the cannon. Crested breaths choked out by The ferocious blasts of this entrenched Jungle. Shrieks punctuate the deathly silence, And sobers the divisions thirst for war. I, a dead soul among the living. The soft wind at night is the nefarious fingers of death, Soaking the earth and ****** boughs Of the old oaks with the veins Of golden purity. (I am standing on an eagles skull.) I can hear the Rebel yell beyond the tree line, BLASTING the barreling notion of liberty, Stacked within our Union souls. A Bundren coffin takes form in the mist beyond the wasteland. My kin lay wait at home, Shall I return one day and parade through pastures And creeks until the days grow old and so shall I. With kin side by side. My vacant mind floats off to distant lands along the timbered forests of the Free North. Orations from my Grandfather resonate like wind chimes Rattling among the inner confines of my sanity, Strewn images flash like the lines of Virginian regulars, A sparse reminder of my ever so soon fate In the Wilderness.

The Wilderness
Four blocks, yet more to come Derelict hopes are crushed by the Perpetual, cacophonous blast of the Somme. My brethren wail for fears their mothers will pay them a visit. I juxtapose my own existence in this war machine. (I can hear them in my sleep) My ears are ringing a ballad, A barber shop quartet echoing; Paradox’s that fester in the inferno. A ticket to my ever-so soon visit, Rage. Am I but mere kindling to the flames of the Somme?

Rendez-vous with Death
I feel the shutter of my curtains, Stare into the Madness, Where curiosity and dissidence lay side by side. My bed quivers in the early mornings Light, Pausing only to Juxtapose the desolation of my Sanity. The floorboards beneath my very feet Tremble as my consciousness lay siege to the rational. As if a sadist has purged the inner mechanisms of my Rage. The stars stand still, perhaps a welcoming message to my overwhelming question. Do we wander the world transfixed on doom, or see that goodness and glory penetrates the deepest of trenches? The ceiling fan bumbles it's absurd existence into my frontal lobe, its tense relationship with the air, Massacring it's way along the roots of my liberty. Perplexing the cause for which I have lost my thoughts to, And cultivating the seeds of my MADNESS.

Where Madness lies
The man sat precariously Between malice and forgone destitute. Marooned in his rambunctious desire to view through a port, nothing but envy. Shattering wine glasses and screams into the inferno uphold this one man's bough of uncertainty. Tralfamadorian trauma eats away at his grotesque painting of the rational. He walks but an invisible eye among strangers.

An Existential visit
Underneath the bough of an old oak, The ***** is being flogged as he kneeled. A bright ray of sun pierces my cornea, As I peer upon this white field, I can see his tears, glistening in the light. I can see his fear, in the darkest night. I can see him leer, into the white. For he has done no wrong, No wrong at all. But the obvious crime of being black. A tangled and ****** mess, his back. The ominous call, echoes the whiteness into the mans eyes. Fearsome ideas tug my innards, pulling me to submission. But calls from old Abe, Talks of long forgone freedom, Keep me with it. I feel the archaic man, turn his muddy grin, Upon me.

Under the southern sun
Trails of desire, and fortunes of love, augment my sole goal, To be with you. Your beauty compels the most Omnipotent of gods, Who bow at the ray of your prescience. Your voice quells all wars, And fine tunes statovarius violins. As your voice a fine piece of Mozart, carefully crafted to sooth my soul into slumber, Where love sleeps. Your smile that greets morning runners, Lights the earth, And rotates around to warm my soul. As your smile a beautiful display of natures finest, a Starry-night. Your ambience shelters all. The beautiful prairie horse to my life; determination to be(me). As your ambience the tender gratitude a soldier will carry in battle, his final hours. In the crucible of love and desire(for(you)). Knowing you will be there(with me). My love.

To (my) Love
I gaze upon thee, And all I see, But a mere particle of dust In the cacophonous dark sky. Our rambunctious attitude startles it's calm state of mind. Sending it into an uproar, Of fire and fury. The desolation of all known, A certain redemption of all those alone. Eons of discourse erode at this star, Until he lie, But a mere pile of dust.

Nightviews
Two songs rage into the blue set sky, As birds make their way to die.

Furloughs
I will never understand, Nor should I. The deep meanings and complexions of a Feminine mind. It lures and tangles itself within, As if you are some instrument To play. My undying love for you wavers as proud As the Stars and Stripes. And as loud as a choirs might. My love is as if blinders are placed upon my eyes and I can only see you. For know I work my forward, A miner chipping away, But unwary of his direction in the chasm of love. Your untimely gesture has surely crushed my spirit, For now. But the sun will rise, and I will chip way Once more.
