Five Minutes
Dentist appointments cause me to linger,
Someplace betwixt dread and the blackness,
Fright’s version of despair,
Wistful and aching with silent prayers,
Silent, silence, soundless – still,
All the reasons, the responses, the requisites,
For those hours, endless times
Spent, losing my mind,
With mouth opened to oblige
Fingers pressed against my gums,
Forcing the enemy’s needles,
Taste of lidocaine, breathing in and out,
Through

This appointment
A false rush paved the way,
amidst empty glasses and pizza boxes
everyone had something to say.
Mauve, green, white, and blue.
A hint of banter.
a connection flickered with you.
Head lowered, fleeting glances,
could have talked all night
only if you didn’t miss all the chances.
Felt special for maybe a second
close, talking
ignoring

Frustration
Why does life have to be so frustrating at times
Trying to eliminate it from our lives is an uphill climb
Imagine a world without it how relaxing life could be
Eliminating frustration is a very daunting task I am sure we all agree
We all experience these unsettling moments from time to time
A traffic jam when you

Appointment With the Witch Carver
We were all having trouble carving our pumpkins this year.
Me and my relatives, were not able to do it without a tear.
Cutting up our hands in a variety of ways, one slice at a time.
You need the witch carver, I was told at half past nine.
I called her up and made an appointment for six

The Appointment
He has an appointment,
In the Big Smoke,The Great Wen
and if successful I will of course provide indubitable support, keep in touch, on occasion visit.
He reveals "It's with an artist."
"Wow, anyone I know". "What's the job?"
"Unlikely Dad, but he's massively respected in his field....tattooing. It's not an interview. I'll be back tomorrow after he's finished."
Following realisation

Divine Appointment
Divine Appointment
Sometimes you meet,
someone that you are supposed to meet.
Walking on a path in a strange city.
A divine appointment.
Someone who needs to bare their soul,
Who needs to share a prayer!
A friend you haven’t met is waiting there for you.
Looking for answers
That only you can give.
The Master has set it all up.
The timing like an

An Unusual Morning After a Dental Appointment
little birds flying around my legs and feet
unless i got some food, no way do they want to meet
i enjoy them in flight, being all free
oh, Sweet Mama, how i wish that was me
the water is their seductress as well as their mirror
it is within this much needed Peace where i see things so much

Visitor of No Appointment
Surprising me, visitor came
with no appointment to exclaim
declaring "I am not to blame"
"unplanned meetings marked my great fame."
My visitor made me rejoice
with good news of achievement poise
affirming that one's biggest choice
is to keep using freedom-voice.
Friend of mine during high school times
narrated events as sweet chimes
including teen-age walks and climbs
as well as our loud chanting

Appointment With Our Inner Self
Meet and greet master of our form
Night and day, as we be so breathed
Consciousness feels magnetism warm
Our ego transient, soon deceased
Search for source of inspiration
Meet and greet master of our form
Clear light dawns in meditation
Upon so ceasing to brainstorm
Maya illusion chloroform
Plunging awareness in stupor
Meet and greet master of our form
What causes our

Appointment For Love
I turned to my wife
With desire in my eyes
And my loins a little disjointed
Forestalling sin,
She asked with no grin,
¨Kind sir, do you have an appointment?¨
You'll need to make an appointment
If you wanna have a shot at love
I was having a chat
With a sweet bureaucrat
Whose curves nature had appointed
The moment seemed right
When up came the red

Appointment With Grim Reaper
Appointment with the Grim Reaper
Sam Adams
One day received a summons
From the Grim Reaper
The note read
“Your appointment
For final status determination (FSD)
Is confirmed for midnight Saturday
A driver
will come for you
Be prepared
Tell no one
This appointment is high
Q level classified.”
Sam got up at 11:30
And waited for the courier
While his wife slept
There was a knock on

Counting Your Absences
Dark night is closer, after your
Callings, callings from the half -seen trees.
Night owls are crying. A smile is
Ominous dancing in the branches.
Of slow time, night unfolds
Its ranges of stories, night’s regular acts.
All dead voices are laying ice cold.
My prolix is a wakeup call.
Night’s mysteries are awake with my poem
After a

Appointment Lady
Had to get some blood work
As my doctor did demand
So I walked up to the lab
With my appointment in my hand.
A few were there before me
As we checked in one by one.
They would text when they were ready;
I could wait out in the sun.
My cell phone beeped; I went inside
Where others sat in chairs.
“Appointment lady!”
