A Coastal City's Charm- Moonlit GenSanBeneath the moon's soft glow, a city thrives,
Where ocean waves caress the sandy shore.
In bustling markets, fresh-caught tuna lives,
A testament to fishers' ancient lore.
The beauty of nature surrounds us here,
From rolling hills to palm trees swaying free.
GenSan's spirit, both vibrant and sincere,
Reflects the splendor of land, sky, and sea.

After the DreamGazing at the cloudy sky,
I could only sit and sigh.
It was all that I had feared.
The beautiful, airy face
that appeared with quiet grace,
then without a word or trace,
so silently disappeared....

Strength Does Not Always RoarFragility is quite a strength
just as the crucial bumblebees’ breath
Perhaps not only titularly
gentleness is stronger than severity . . .

She Walks In Beauty, Like The Night
She walks in beauty, through the night,
Where stars like blossoms burn so bright,
The hush of dusk upon her hair,
A ghost of moonlight trailing there.
She does not speak, yet all is said
In how she lifts her dreaming head—
A lily tall amid the gloom,
A hush within the heart of bloom.
The shadows bend to let her pass,
She stirs...

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....

Beautiful doesn't mean SafeThe Sun is pretty–Yes ,we know,
It makes the sky and flowers glow.
But look too long, and you will find,
It's beauty scars. It's strikes you blind.
We're taught to chase what shines the most,
To the love ones who shine like ghosts.
But not all gold is made to keep ,
some glitters loud and cuts too deep.
Not...

Toxic Beauty
ART!
He painted my death,
With such dedication I've never seen before.
Every stroke of his brush, on that paper, marking out each curve, twist, and turn my body made
As I writhed in pain.
Premeditated murder, or a death masquerading as suicide, or perhaps just an unlucky soul.
My hands on my throat as I choked to death,
He didn't...

Soul of a childMy twin was delusional, he thought he was a star
He told me people recognized him, near and far
Strangers gave him thumbs up, pretty women smiled
Within him they saw the soul of a child.
I said "Jerry, no offense, you are poor at conversation
People yawn, go away, for the dialog duration
You lack warmth, enthusiasm, any vital spark
You're...

LeafThe beauty of your life is so easy to see,
In the colors and lines of your symmetry.
After a time with the tree of your life,
Severed from your stem by the wind as a knife.
To ride the wind and swirl to the ground,
To please another as your beauty is found.
I can see in your color a...

Kindred SpiritsKindred Spirit
Mirrored reflections ingrained in our fate ,
Her thoughts shining inward designed to sedate ,
Heart beats sings softly with thunderous tunes,
Storms infiltrate morning as we strive to assume,
Relentless intentions meant to keep us immune,
We stare at the full moon it’s light our cocoon.
So travel so softly & reach for the stars ,
Our fiercest intentions...

Does he like black girls?Does he like black girls
Or does he like the idea of the swirl
Does he like black girls
Or does he only like type two and three curls
Does he like black girls
Or does he want bragging rights
Does he like black girls
Or does he just want a turn
Does he like black girls
Or does he want...

Glimpses
The grass waved hello
the birds called back.
Telegraph poles stood still
like tall slender trees.
the birds liked that.
the crickets a constant tickle in the ear,
swathes of brown grass bouncing back after drought,
three troughs haphazard on a patch without
any grass. Bare dark earth.
the raven makes its cry
under a bright grey sky,
on a swampy, sweaty day .
my dog...

MuseHis voice was near, his hands were far
Porcelain and coated in paint
I was revered, my skin unmarked
By the artist disguised as the saint
But the muse knows not, how one perceives
She exists in and of the mind
No more than a thought, no need to deceive
She herself might as well be...
