  1. Poem: Stay Away Stay Away

    Stay away stay away 
    Stay away, darkness around him
    Darkness around you all, stay away
    There's nothing fruitful in it
    There's nothing wholesome in it
    There's nothing shaking in it,
    Waiting to come out
    It's all a “white tomb” inside
    And broods “of vipers”
    It's all dust and death so
    Stay away stay away

  2. fingers in the spokes

    there is an allowable amount of horror;
    a simmer agreed upon,
    a subset of families dragged
    away in the night, a volume of dogs
    shot point-blank by the state;
    human is the excuse-making animal.
    given a slow enough stalking
    even a flimsy doe will turn and scream
    and kick; will try anything
    to alert, to defend.
    but our threshold are high.
    the factory consumes hands;
    every day, one or many –
    but so long as the product is good,
    who bothers to care?

    Αφορμή ένα ρόδο του εσωτερικού κήπου. Με την ευωδια το χρώμα και την ομορφιά του θύμισε ζωή. | SearchingTheMeaningOfLife

    Αφορμή ένα ρόδο
    του εσωτερικού κήπου.
    Με την ευωδιά
    το χρώμα
    και την ομορφιά του
    θύμισε ζωή.
    Ήρθε απο πέρασμα
    με την πνοή
    το φως
    και το άγγιγμα του αέρα
    των εξωτερικών παραθύρων.


    Αν και αόρατα στις αισθήσεις,
    μιας κι είχα την ίδια ταχύτητα
    κι όμως έθρεψαν ζωή.

  12. Once More With —

    his eyes went glassy, glassy, grazing
    out in the back nine, his fingers reaching
    down and plucking mustard
    like they used to retrieve tees;
    the man with placid face has
    gone delicious; gone divine;
    become something more than man,
    something less than food,
    something caught in
    history’s mouth, something
    ground in the gullet of a tale
    as old as time.

    […]Αργόσχολοι πλούσιοι  Την κλέβουν  Από εσένα, εσένα κι εμένα  Καμιά ιδιωτικότητα  Ώσπου να ξεγυμνωθούν οι ίδιοι […]

    [Hellas | Veria 2025]

    Έτσι για να παίξουν
    Την αθέατη εξουσία
    Αδιάκριτοι
    Αργόσχολοι πλούσιοι
    Την κλέβουν
    Από εσένα, εσένα κι εμένα
    Καμιά ιδιωτικότητα
    Ώσπου να ξεγυμνωθούν οι ίδιοι
    Να πληγωθούν όπως πλήγωσαν
    Έτσι ξαφνικά.

  28. Stumbling Block

    It seems I have always been stumbling, tripping over the unintended in a fog of wandering wonder.

    The mist has been ever around me, my cloud by day. I am enveloped by mystery.

    You do indeed love to surprise me, O God;

    two girls find shiny stones in a fountain and their joy chases away the despair at not finding a loved one,

    the hospitality of friends lightens the weight upon a heavy chest from a returning to what was and the traveler can breathe again into what will be,

    a mother’s words and the night breeze dries a daughter’s tears and she can smile at the deep thrum of a bullfrog,

    lovers lie for a moment in the morning and the frustrations of yesterday fade into the quiet beginnings of another day.

    It is time then.

    I rise up into the bone crackling morning, my body protesting, my spirit already stretching out along the places I will see.

    Inside, I find I am ready for more stumbling.

  29. Builder

    For Nelson (May 16, 1944-July 13, 2005)

    If I would have my life to live over again,
    I would find an old stone wall in disrepair
    and I would spend my days seeking the tumbled
    down stones hidden in the grass.

    By day I would rebuild the wall. At night I
    would lie in its lee. I would not be afraid
    of the snakes and rodents disturbed from
    their dark places in the cracks between the
    stones where they sleep.

    And when my life came to an end and the wall
    was as yet unfinished, I would not moan. I
    would lay myself down against the rocks and
    let my body fade away into a place of rest in
    the cracks between the stones.

    The Lowest Bid


    The Lowest Bid by Stewart Stafford

    The sceptre is cast to the shivering sea
    with divine ordinance, codes of chivalry.
    A blinding vision of the fallen from on high,
    New roving dregs with a scavenger’s eye.

    Yield up the light, coax out the dying flame,
    Punishment for crimes revokes your name.
    Was freedom built on ancient delusion?
    It persists as the architect’s cold conclusion.

    The most degrading and painful descent
    is the one to the lower “kingdom” crescent,
    Shadow throne invoked by seditious implication.
    Collusion not coercion, mummified by mediation.

    Trust not the expedient offer, the beatific start —
    They can only embalm the chasms of the heart.

  31. Department Of Lost Things

    Room Corner with Curiosities 1712 by Jan van der Heyden When language was borna covenant was set beside it,written in the marquetryof a forgotten god's altar,beside the pillars of fire and rain. It was said: someone must keepa department for lost things,a workshop of ledgers and shelveswhere ash, rust, and dustarrived bearing names.

    Read my Poem “Extra Skin” Published by the Mourning Paper

    My poem “Extra Skin” was published by the awesome literary magazine the Mourning Paper.

    This poem is about a interdimensional entity living in a warehouse. The monster is continuously stalking around the shelves and corridors, looking for people to come travelling through. When this happens, the creature throws its skin at them in an effort to understand itself.

    You can read “Extra Skin” right here

    My sons initially gave me the idea for this poem. They are obsessed with the Back Rooms, and its various lore, and they were talking to me about a creature that likes to give out its skin. I took the concept for myself and put my own spin on it.

    I’m thoroughly honored to have my poem published by this excellent literary establishment.

    The Mourning Paper is an excellent magazine. I highly suggest not just reading my work, but exploring the publication thoroughly. The many excellent writers and artists deserve your time and attention.

    Hit it here to read more of the Mourning Paper.

    Happy reading!

    Read my Poem “Stay the Same” Published by Malefica Press

    Happy to have my poem “Stay the Same” published by the literary magazine Malefica Press.

    Malefica Press publishes all things horror. They have a great catalogue of content, and I’m honored to be a part of it. What is really fun about this publication is they included an illustration with it as well. It fits the theme of my poem perfectly.

    The poem I wrote “Stay the Same” is about a haunted scarecrow that tries to be different, and not fulfill its dark purpose. I love exploring complexity with monsters, it both therapeutic and interesting to me as writer. When those two creative forces coincide, lots of creation happens. The crows that spend their time around this scarecrow have some interest in whether he can continue this murderous journey he’s been on. They’re a vested party.

    You can read “Stay the Same” right here.

    I will continue to state, that you should not just read my poem, but also checkout the various material from Malefica Press. It is an incredible lit magazine, and I want to continue to support it. They have a ridiculous amount of excellent content to read for free. Please jump into that dark rabbit hole. You can find them right here.

    Thank you for reading my work, and have an excellent day!
