My Friend Is the Ocean
My friend is the ocean, waters that glide,
Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair;
Many the times that we walked side by side,
A spark and forever, joined as a pair.
Always a cloud there lay over its play,
Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face;
Heaving, its waters had something to say;
Twilight with meteors it took for the...

THE LIETell me your secrets,
I’ll tell you mine.
Don’t tell me lies,
We’ll get along fine.
The past is behind us,
The present is now.
That we can be friends
Is amusing somehow.
So tell her your secret
And tell her your lie.
What she doesn’t know
Is the road to goodbye.

Your Smile Is As Cute As A Baby Seal'sYour smiles frozen over,
and you stand tall above the water
like an iceberg, so tall and elegant
in your presentation.
But surface-level trickery
can’t fool or satiate
my scuba diver
curiosity.
I see through your
poorly constructed ruse.
I prep my gear,
dive deep into your ocean,
and discover that underneath
the surface-level beauty lies dormant
a bummock of cuts and bruises.
The true nature of things,
the true nature...

A Perfect Moment, Created By Joe And MysticNever had I heard a flutter so clear!
nor more distinct than the settle of midnight wings;
Soft gray wings spreading, fanning
coming to gentle fold,
soon to follow, a nightingale's song,

Sisters In Poetry
Two sisters born afar from my terrain
one rising near Taj Mahal ‘s glorious dome ,
another hopping on lanes of maple trees;
still, poetry traces their heartfelt rays
enduring continental divide
like silken wishes on angel cheeks
plying on a relay of starlit skies...
One a sweetened Jasmine utterly
devoid of night's umbra, ohh the other,
a peppered Cinder sizzling with
the sun's...

I'm Done ChasingI give you space then I notice I'm back in your face
Things are not the same and I'm the one left to chase
I realize how silly I must look when I plead and beg
There is no way to take back the words that I said
I'm not getting no where so I'm done chasing
I'm the...

Sensations"And my thoughts are all sensations"
And my sensations are all my thoughts.
The sun controls the moon,
and the moon controls me.
She said she was a she/they/we,
and we just laughed. Not
her we, just us.
And my thoughts are all sensations,
we'll only ever be as smart as your sun.
But the sun controls the moon,
and the moon controls we.
You've...

Final Vestiges of AntiguaCooled off to take a sip; two.
Greedily waking up; fading
of the whole cup - butterflies,
trees, flowers; drips touching
the final vestiges of Antigua.
Fear ascended into the canopy,
slid along the line; work gloves,
gripping. Incomplete instructions,
lack of common sense, slowed
me down, with my feet off
the ground. Grounds remind me,
in this creamy, courage cup
to not give up, keep going...

Winter's WishI reached a hand
Into the snow
The chilly ice
Once vibrant glow
It's Winter's wish
A painful spree
The absent warmth
Of no degree
Although I try
To stay alive
Your touch confirms
No love could thrive
Until the crystals
Of your heart
Can beat a path
Back to the start
I'll leave a message
By transient hand
No passer by
Shall understand
A heart-shaped sign
To melt...

Strawberry GirlPretty
Is a concept
You'll never
Understand
If you think
I see you
Through endeavours
Of the hand
I love
You make the effort
Appreciate
Your style
I love you
Past the surface
Just deeper
All the while
You paint
Just like a rainbow
With hues and shades
And stuff
Yet beautiful
Has found you
Already
You're enough...

to erase the space
that exists between
your surface level sex

and celestial
grace.

Meeting Old FriendsWhen you meet with old friends
After months, even years,
There is comfort in having
No need to switch gears.
For the groundwork’s been set
And the basics are known,
So there’s just catching up –
How the grandkids have grown!
But most likely you’ll talk
About health or its lack
And the surgeries done
On the hips, knees or back.
There’ll be notes to compare
About...

My Soul TwinThe first day of college, a world so new,
I met a soul whose roots I knew.
From the same hometown, side by side,
Fate had planned this perfect ride.
Day two we sat, our worlds aligned,
No words were forced, just peace we'd find,
From that moment, life just flowed,
In every lane, our friendship glowed.
We laughed, we bunked, we shared...

Best FriendBe your own best friend,
Your together till the end,
Let those wounds mend,
Send yourself some love,
It's already been through enough,
It's never given up,
And emptied its cup,
So you could grow up.
Hold a better view of you,
There's really two,
Look deeper, you'll know what to do,
Your...
