Journey to the Oceans Edge

Posted on November 9, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

The Passenger

Posted on August 21, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Darkness Longs for Its Shadow

Posted on August 9, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

I find myself in darkness now…and it’s here I wish to linger. Darkness, an old friend who listens to my enlightening stories with a sardonic grin and small dagger that he slowly but deftly twirls in his fingers. He knows … Continue reading →

The Noisy Ones

Posted on June 28, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Flipping back through pages of my life

Posted on June 5, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Entered a Dervish

Posted on June 5, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Her hearts smoke rose from doused flames of love wisps entwined with her obsidian tresses interwoven with gray and a long journey’s dust From the door she entered, went A whirling dervish whose time was spent Amidst a rose whose petals … Continue reading →

Where my Beloved Waits

Posted on June 5, 2015 by skipavm@gmail.com

Oh you pavement scuffers, ceiling crawlers Why not walls of wheat and woodland? Jump the railcar wayfarers… What of floors of flower and dirt. You’re plodding through the pate When you should be dancing through dharma, reveling from the root. … Continue reading →
