Rooms to goO Monami! Fiancé these days!

The second bloom
The second bloom
Life is an eternal ecstasy
Flowering as ripe old age
Liabilities over, shorn of shackles
Confined to oneself and free to peep into
Fads and foibles lying dormant for decades
The wisdom at its...

PLEASE HEAR MEYou don't seem to understand
The truth I clutch in my hands
I never wanted to hurt you
I just wanted to show my virtue
It's the only thing I can do
I'm on my floor laying dead
My heart knows...

The Old CarThere once was an old car that was quite spry,
It had creaky joints and a sputtering sigh.
Its engine would wheeze
On the road, with such ease
Yet, if I now had such car, I would be pleased
Newer...

Whispers of the ForgottenIn the shadowed alcove of memory, Where forgotten dreams curl like smoke, I wander, a spectral seeker, Tracing the edges of existence.
The moon, a pale witness, Hangs low, its silver gaze unyielding, As if it...

When Death Stopped for MeBecause I could not escape from Life –
It rudely dragged me forth –
The chaos swirled, consuming all –
And Oblivion, my worth.
We raced through days – no time to rest...

Growing Pains
Every family has them
These unsettling times these misunderstandings
Times when many things come into play
In most cases these wee spats are soon over and forgotten
But sometimes differences run deeper

reverieAn existential crisis
Left to my own devices

Orchids are beautiful, I'm a sight...

a different kind of loveA different kind of love
Easy, in and out your breath
lungs unsullied by cigarette smoke
Siesta nap, a lazy Sunday afternoon

pale rainbows, a stillborn moon

Funeral Retirement PartyConstruction workers, fishermen,
hands broadened,
reddened cracks in the wintertime,
teachers, office workers,
a standing cashier feels aging
in her legs,
careers extended.

they have freedom,
to live on Social Security?
Paying off mortgages,
and children's student...

dance, divine
a stroll …
just a stroll … like any other
numberless now, the times this path
had taken her to the wood -
the dark, deep wood where her
