PEEK INTO NEW YEAR’S EVE 2199
For dinner we are going to the popular ‘Stars’
Restaurant, we have booked some years ago,
We also booked to see the famous show,
We don’t know if the actors are
From the human race or from the
Growing robotic generation, but it’s
Comedy, so it should be fun.
The menu is somewhat different,
Green, pink, purple, red and blue
Veggies, no protein allowed...

Eve of DeconstructionThe Buffalo church, it is implodin'
Rhetoric flarin', parishes unloadin'
We're good enough to give, but have no say in votin'
You don't believe in division, but what's that decree your totin'
You fired our trustees and now you're gloatin'
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve...

StaircaseOh my!
This sly staircase,
a coiled serpent,
struck on the Christmas eve
when stars blinked through the dark veil,
still it lurks.

CharlestownWhitewashed cottages and circling gulls
The crest of a wave hits the beach as it rolls
Evening shadows hang, on old harbour walls
Be quick! We’ll get home before darkness falls.

Her EyesHer Eyes
Her eyes could always
See his soul
Which are eyes
That notice everything.
He always dreamed of
Touching her.
She would know how
To soothe his loneliness—
How to smile at his eyes
And read the energy
That silhouettes his body
Like a soft blanket of love.
When she is worried,
She laughs to warn him
As he can be unrestrained...

New year Eve delight
Midnight's zero hour draws ever near,
With bated breath, we await the cheer for new year .
Unfazed by cold, our spirits run high,
As nostalgia whispers sweet and bitter sighs.
Everyone hustles for parties, friends, and family
Gathering to cherish moments, dancing to music's melody.
The celebration euphoric, a grand adieu to the past,
Honoring 2024, as it leaves us...

If it’s a creation,
then science and spirit should explain each other.
Not argue. Not compete.
They should echo.
Like a wave entering water—
and the water nods.
I was born into a field,
not a house.
The floor, the couch, the corners—
they didn’t creak.
They hummed.
The rooms didn’t scare me.
The electrons did.
The lies—
It came through pattern.
Through footsteps stored in drywall.
Through the breath...

Nameless, NightSpark, sail into flame. Never again.
Melt into miracle, common stuff of roads.
Light, transcending is sorrow.
Cold, seize my heart. Love, consume.
Once, dream, talk in waves of sound.
Stars of the harpsichord, fade me away.
Body, become darkness. All I was?
Could have been nothing in a vision sought.
Museums, fail to admit. Unwelcomeness, be.
Riddles, thy meaning hide. Eyes, see nothing...

Sitting With The LightSitting in it.
The evening sunlight stretched across my lap
like a thin blanket just meant to keep my legs warm.
Birds chirp as they nestle in the trees.
Their mother's outstretched arms.
Fairies flicker in the golden light
singing the flowers to sleep.
Spirits of the sky and dirt bustle about
as the day slips into night.
Honey colored rays fade into pale...

Written in Response to Pensive Solitude on The Eve of This Night RevisitedAn outcast this night,
I mournfully sigh with gloom:
but, I make war, fight!
to defeat my rising doom,
and defend my haunted tomb.
