Recent Dreams

The sky beneath the water's edge
The ocean of light above my head
I stand ashore among my kind
And they listen to the rustling
of my mind.

I dreamt a day pleasantly passed
Two distant friends were joined at last
But time reversed, came yestermorning's sun
Destiny slipped and time
came undone.

The unlived days we wonder about 
Pass over us like the shadows of clouds.
I stand ashore among my kind
And they listen to the rustling
of my mind.

Haikus From Hell!

1
Hi, welcome to hell
See the pits of sadism
and the lava lakes
2
smoldering fires
endless torment of the damned
A nice cup of tea
3
In this dungeon dwells
Lucifer's favorite prey
Telemarketers
4
They never hang up
So steel spikes shoot from the phone
The wire strangles them
5
Grotesque and mangled
The corpses reanimate
To be killed anew
6
God's sense of humor
Nothing without irony
Hell is sarcastic
7
Cleansing satire
redemptive comedy with
a happy ending
8
The horror you see
Is just our way of showing
How we truly care

This concludes our tour.
