Pandora’s Box(“Pandora’s Box”, 2014, original pen and ink and oil)
Pandora’s Box
I don’t know who she was,
What she did or how she did it,
And maybe it was something sublime
Or maybe she was just another woman
With the kind of perfect snatch
To launch a thousand ships
In a sea of broken hearts,
But Pandora certainly left her mark
Even today,...

From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams riseFrom the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise,
On the paths of the night, our steps are guided by nameless stars,
In the cosmic silence, the whispers of destiny that traverse us are heard,
Every hidden thought becomes a window to the inner light.
Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of timeWithout her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time,
I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky,
She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset,
I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless.
It wasn't her fault, no shadow of...

In the mystery of the dark and vast night, the blizzards of forgetfulness cry in silver versesIn the mystery of the dark and vast night, the blizzards of forgetfulness cry in silver verses
Under the dome of the sky carved in living stones, I stand alone like a bell of thought forgotten in secrecy
Time flows in circles of fire and forgetfulness, and I am a flame burning in its own ashes
My soul...

In the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flowIn the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flow,
We lose ourselves in waves of illusions, calling forth the shadows of past time,
We are but a dream floating on the eternal ocean of pure being,
In the depths of the soul, there is no separation, only eternal flow,
Everything is now and here, a dance of the...

In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritualIn the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual,
A song of the heart is born, a call piercing the veil of forgetfulness,
There where the soul travels through abysses of light and dream,
Seeking meaning in the chaos of stars that unravel into memories.
The river of thoughts flows incessantly, whispering tales from foggy times,
Where ancient...

My true loverMy darling, my love
I'm hopeless in love with you
In your arms, I yearn for your touch
I found who you truly are.
I trust you as my best friend and
My true lover
Throughout the storms we wheather
Hand in hand, together we walk to
The promise land.
I love you more than anything, my faith
Hope surrounds you.
We build relations...

IN SILENCENot sure when it started at 6 staying
out of a brutally violent household
taking to the unforgiving streets.
The streets became my teacher and
family albeit dangerous life lessons
learned from a merciless source.
Spiritual and corporal sorrow from father’s
beatings, his cruel degradation too much to
bear, as everyone stood by watching me bleed.
At 13, befriending teens from troubled homes,...

Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall
Length of days begins to wane, twilight quickens
and moonlight obeys the seasonal call of nature.
The time is half past summer, two months till fall
and the warm splayed fingers of sunlight's heat
are reaching for the zenith of their time to reign.
Soon, night will darken earlier; stars appear brighter,
and autumn's crisping days will wither crimson...

Don't doDon’t do
Don’t do it, it's painful
Don’t do it, it’s a mistake
Don’t do it, may I ask you?
Please, stop you
I love you
Don’t do it, or finish it
Don’t do it, kill me, over me
Do on, do it, let me leave
Please, be you
I love you
Loved you
An honest love
Still loving you
Passed on
Don’t do
Love can’t be on

Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall
Why is Sumner such a short time,
just getting started then running into half past summer.
July seems to be the half way mark,
August is almost here.
August will turn into September then into October,
then fall will be here.
Fall with cooler days,
a pretty carpet of colorful leaves covering the ground....

Prayerful HoodLike Merlin, we graze
At thoughts limitless,
Benign souls scribbling,
Keyboards inspired,
Or so it seems,
Faith doubts and believes,
Love's days dreaming,
Stars, the moon, our muse,
Makes our happy hearts,
Okay poets!...
