A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Stethoscope Reflect all the Light that was taken away And be a beacon for the sick The blind, the def, lepers and Those with chronically weak hearts We had a boat that traveled by the ruddy glow of the blood stream Tossed by the reckless whimsContinue reading “WD 207 “Stethoscope””

WD 206 “Artifice”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Artifice A lie A clever distraction Braced end to end in iron bars What am I But a carbon copy Of every breath you take A sad memory on the sweet breeze When you close your eyes to shut off the electrical circuits in your head Continue reading “WD 206 “Artifice””
WD 205 “Into Nothing”
A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth. Into Nothing There is an inequality in the stars That some would burn bright and others burst into Super novas Upon the expanse I’m waiting For you With fingers tapping to the rhythm of the universe And the planets are in love with black holes VacantContinue reading “WD 205 “Into Nothing””
WD 204 “Nightshade”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Nightshade I’m wavering As the cool night air spreads from my fingertips Goodnight sounds like good-riddance As my body is riddled with strange waves of paralysis The dark is so still that it makes sounds Like harsh knocking on the front door (Did I lock it?)Continue reading “WD 204 “Nightshade””
WD 203 “Shadow Kid”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Shadow Kid Blink and you’ll miss me An afterimage on a polaroid camera You see the fearful wince between a smile and a smirk Optical illusion between two equidistant lines It cuts a figure in the green negative space where you looked Too close to theContinue reading “WD 203 “Shadow Kid””

The Ocean’s Rhythm I claimed the sand that I could hold between my fingers And nothing else On this shore I have left my wreck A casualty of causality No way to control But your eyes looked over the endless sea and craved a nightmare JustContinue reading “WD 201 “The Ocean’s Rhythm””
WD 200 “Alice of Ends”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Alice of Ends The answer is in the question And yet, you go on Searching every toadstool for a magic serum of personal growth When did we get lost in this Wonderland Were we beguiled by cheshire smiles, Walmart hats and March Hairs To keep inContinue reading “WD 200 “Alice of Ends””
WD 199 “Three Things That Are Beyond Understanding”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Three Things That Are Beyond Understanding The wheel turns once A bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go The wheel turns a second time Water splashing across the mill, carrying particles of the disease The wheel turns thrice and we are Rolling toward certain doomContinue reading “WD 199 “Three Things That Are Beyond Understanding””
WD 198 “Blameless Effigy”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Blameless Effigy I came to be A presence defined by that which was absent Coagulated blood in a drying nervous system To keep the brain impulses from running free and rising Beyond station As I cross the threshold you see A mirrored image of her SmilingContinue reading “WD 198 “Blameless Effigy””
