Aubadebecause of bad dating experiences
that’s really been confusing me for a while
his is something
that she refuses to mention
friends can only go so far
and frei is all he is limited to
poetic devices to express thoughts
might he create the condition of
her needing him
having one person to share your thoughts
in a life built together seems more novel
especially when...

Russia our allyFrom Russia with love
Russia is a strange and great country, not quite in Europe
and not quite Eastern, they react to mayhem but seldom
intimate it; for those who are history less they won
The brutal war of 1940 and 1945 by breaking the back
of the German army and making it possible by Britain
and the USA to take...

Caesar’s SerenadeCleopatra,
I investigate your eyes
through Nile mist that weaves,
jade butterflies that never fly
sable tresses hanging over leopards
bole skin on the border of Venusian dreamcatchers
Gilded diadems dance as burned suns
radiate from golden flakes of your crown
lightning demarcating the border between genius
— and ambition
wars are fought easier than your heart is won;
Cupid grieves your connections
Great men fear being made...

Bus StopTwo guys by a bus stop, and they have nowhere to go.
They begin merging plucks and ribbits into a melting comfort.
Their destination is the Earth, and sedans honk at them.
Red stop sign becomes a resting place for a fellow cellist.
Fair lime crickets play along to the weeds, if just for this one moment.
And the taste...

Architecture of anthropological anteatersThe day the hour,
The meat the shower,
Show no oscillating octopus to an octagonal obelisk and eat a Greek tortilla upside down in a second. It is wiser to tread lightly in a miller’s abode. Round and round the turrets go those turtles so mind your footing for shells can be slippery really.
When shopping for an...

Where AboutsThe things I mostly bothered about
Death, worry. those that shout
Death is always crawling about
a relative, a friend, someone with clout
Worry about the weather, children
the things we doubt
And we hear the voices that often shout
the screaming, the yelling
the complaints of a spouse
But the thing i worry most about
is the thing I can do nothing...

The Bride's DreamsShe had thought that love was only a game; something one could wear like a badge to garner envy amongst friends. The chill of the night enfolds her troubled emotions where dreams are unwelcome. A Stygian cloak of loneliness weighed heavily on her as she awaited an elusive epiphany. Finally, the watershed moment came, bringing...

the truthThe truth
What is the truth a question that should be easy to answer
but many truths often depend on
religious faiths
There is a Christian truth, a Buddhist truth, an Islamic truth
Based on a system of beliefs
All the people who belong to any of those groups
Think of what they believe as the truth
The nearest we can come to unadulterated truth is
You Shall...

A New Day - WildflowersRoads long squandered,
Routes trained to memory.
a crack in the long unyielding concrete
unremarkable.
Then, a wildflower
A peculiar pink.
Leather, nostalgia.
Cinnamon, mellow.
Stop dead in my tracks,
Wistful, yearn.
Many a while did I dream of creation
After all, what does it take?
Soil, water, an undefeated soul.
Many a while did I long for something that called me God.
Many a while did I pick...

Dorsa Rupes
Tharsis Isiadis
managed by
Bellatrix Safran
escorted
Congreve to
the Boneyard
there they discussed his use
ability.
When Congreve asked a question
Dorsa Rupes dismissed
his concerns by saying he was
bragging and his words
were whoretorn relics
that echo among the foolish people
who idolize him.
Never answering the questions
and saying then what was
of concern didn't matter
due to his lack of interest in the topic.

The Contemporary RevelationAs I Read through the books
I can find the words that decode
I become a poet
Not by circuit but by pursuit
As I am fostering the new generation
I always wanted to be famous
I reclaim that the theories
Put forward are worries
I don't know whether I am scholar
I don't know how how to use my knowledge
As...

Flowing River
Isn't it amazing how it goes on like a flowing river?
Unaware of disheartening droughts and ecstatic springs.
The moments cherished together get lost in history.
Hearts once close decouple as a sweet mystery.
The eyes used to witness have no tomorrow.
All of a sudden, the heart is full...

A Lake Level ViewStanding in a small boat
on one of the Great Lakes
the early morning sunrise having
turned into a cloudless new day.
Shoreline behind me, mostly trees,
some houses, a large park
that was once a factory
and water as far as I can see.
It was a matter of perspective
this view I enjoyed
the birds and ducks could see further
while planes overhead...

OptimismThe morning shown as a mono gray
but the forecast called for a clearing sky
which gave me time to read and pray
The morning shown as a mono gray
later on will be time to play
to write a verse or bake a pie
The morning shown as a mono gray
but the forecast called for a clearing sky...
