Alone! ' I cried

'Alone! ' I cried again.
'Alone I am with me!
Lonely in a world of mist
Alone, I reach to touch your wrist
And see if I am thee.’

To be alone beside a soul
Afloat, adrift; an empty ghoul
Alone in woe; the yearning flesh
To fill a thin, contorted mesh
Diffuse atop an icy floor, alone.

So much alone in fact, I lack
The tonal vibrancy of life:

I am a song without a tune
alone;
A greying sky in June
alone;

The Fallen Star

I am like the fallen wish
So lonely as a fallen star
My bed a pool of tears I cry
Alone! ' I cry myself to sleep
'Alone I am with me!
Lonely in a world of mist
Alone, I reach to touch your wrist
And see if I am thee.’

To be alone beside a soul
Afloat, adrift; an empty ghoul
Alone in woe; the yearning flesh
To fill a thin, contorted mesh
Diffuse atop an icy floor
All alone I am alone

Too much stare much nightmare
Only thee walls
Can speak and share
loneliness a disease

Old wonder flush'd the east anew

Old wonder flush'd the east anew
and shed the golden air, and wing
of song that summon'd, from the dew
and rapture of the fields of spring,
old wonder blossom'd in my heart:
because the threatening dream of old,
that nightly wont to bid us part,
now changing, gave me to behold
thy rosy maidenhood that pass'd
and greeted me with stranger grace,
who knew that meeting for our last
and far from mine thy biding-place.
And I have thank'd the threat of sleep,
because the secret heart that flow'd
with phantom wound was proven to keep
beneath its living springs bestow'd
the pang that seven years since was felt
keen thro' my life yet soft dispersed
along all veins that thrill or melt —
old wonder, blossom'd, not inhears'd:

Committed to Memory

Embolden the soul with the virility
Found in no beasts, but in divinity
The prize bequeathed by Mnemosyne
The grandeurs and horrors to humanity

Saturated beneath an abysmal trench
Where a man inside mutely wrench
A cold war in your head, lost in the mesh
Melt with sanity, through the sewer, through the drench

Committed to the lingering days
These memories of forbidden tales
Marred by the toll of corrosive sails
Oblivious in obverse of burning rails

Summoning demons from the past
The pendulum forebodes that it will last
Hovering above a ground so vast
The ennui of infinity in deadlock plots

Be Ready, It Is Coming

sad truths bring you some preludes
so you can hone your ambivalent reactions
so you can have a little refinement
when the real part of grieving gets inside
your skin deep down into the pores and
flesh reverberating into the very mesh of
your rattling bones

nature gives you a rehearsal
over and over again until you are bored with sorrow
until it does not affect you anymore
until you have no word for it
except dignified acceptance

the hours are well regimented like soldiers prepared for war
and the days are like empty boats accommodating a lot of free passengers

now do not panic, keep your chin up, do not be overwhelmed
for soon

Averting a Searing Phalanx

The sun gouged my adamantine
Slivers pocketed in the seams
And the vacuous horizon stripped
A trident of dour and putrid lie
Now, inexorable from a conceited defeat
I wore a moue of malady underneath
Subdued by mediocre tragedies:
A harlequin married to tyranny
Divorced from subtlety,
A maudlin to a flagrant guise
But deemed rather empty
In this highway of turbulent mesh
Of reveries and sequenced episodes
I saunter juxtaposed perilous codes
In the sinewy sans of raging coupés
Exuding a stymied complacence
Whilst feigning a lustful sedation
But in the protracted road
Where no eyes dare roll
Slithering into seclusion

The Making of a Prince IV: Eternal Wars for Sovereignty

A pen—a claymore, a crown; power
A paper—a vast land unconquered; possession
Tear drops and blood trickles down
In a troubled gypsy, pristine in beam and frown;
In a white lily, queen of her regalities;
An esoteric mesh—keys and codes,
Algorithms and genetics ensconced
In the marrows of a little prince's becoming
Burning a thousand year, browning a thousand leaf,
In the escritoire - the sanguinary palms of scars
And there I was, cringing without recoil,
A tatterdemalion defeat
A breathing carrion
Slumbering like a mirror
Concealing light.

But there's the damsel,
The king, and the star,
They vied for me
As how I shall for them

The Spider

Spider, Spider, weaving web-
Fine and silky, that can’t ebb;
What immortal Hand did give,
Engineering feet to live!

Swift legs moving on fine threads:
Insect prey finally dreads;
What finesse involves your act,
Smothering preys with great tact!

Gossamer-mesh baiting prey:
Caught in surprising, a way;
Wound by silken threads, so fast,
Die insects spun, quite aghast!

Thready sensors, zig-zag laid,
Helping hunter and to aid;
Moving majestically,
Howev’r strong the wind, may be.

Rage The World

Supposed developed country
embarked upon
quested industrial rivalry.
Seduces all innards parts.

Chinese mentality
challenges
with unhinged reality.
Corpulent Later Day Capitalists.

Earth rape embryo
pristine natural resources.

Shame righteous scream protesting
misguided shame.
Chinese Taiwanese Japanese
all is same to offended Greenies.
Protesting, adrift, drift-net fishing, mentality.
Rape Humanities Sea.

Beneath Still Waters

Beneath Still Waters
By: Adam M. Snow

Beneath still waters lie lost memories,
Of sullied dreams cast into seas.
Yet mine lost in a thousand days,
By my foreknown separate ways,
And only by the blood moon,
Will it shine ever so soon.

But mine, shattered by my past,
As my essence surpassed,
Tormented by my woes,
Like the crows upon my flesh.

Tender life of putrid mesh,
Cast down upon my burden.
But lest I suffer more,
For mercy is what I plead for.
To atone for what my sins may cost,
