Grandma with the almond eyes
Needed a seat on the metro
On a warm Wednesday
Afternoon-
I stood up and guided 
Her to mine
As she smiled at me
With whatever was left
Of her eighty-eight
Year old teeth
And although I am
Usually the last one in line
When it comes to
Doing what’s right-
I still...

Almond blossom, not amaryllis...
sweetness against pridefulness.

seek that flower expressing loving.


Almond blossom or lemon blossom...
revering love with an incredible charm.


Childness must not be unfaithfulness...
feel the sublimest joy of blessedness.


There are sweet memories with a primrose...
be captivated by a cheerful, delicate pink...

It stood magnificently in front of our Churchyard,
Like the sacred fig tree before any temple-yard;
My going to church, as a boy, had no other reason,
Than picking all bird-dropped fruits, as a mission;
Collecting as many as possible hastily,
Pushing them into my knickers-pocket quietly;
Thinking of them all...

Dear friend, 

I am trying to master the ancient art of Almond Milking. It's quite difficult and my sweetie hasn't had a drink of almond milk in months. I started with cats to improve my dexterity, but they kept getting away and the little stinkers...

An Almond Tree 

Elvira was walking her dog, a poodle, in a landscape 
of rounded hills, when she fell into a cylindrical
borehole; her dog waited for her to come up again,
she didn´t, and since it was getting dark it ran home.
 In the night an...

In this blue hour between branches
The waxing gibbous moon
Hangs like an almond blossom petal
Gleaming bright at noon

And the little tree that wreaths it
So breathtakingly blooms
That I’m inclined to float away
With this almond blossom moon....

dainty darling blossoms~ 
are floating fluffy clouds 
of ivory and  petunia
hanging like empyrean jewels 
'neath the vibrant skies 
of turquoise and royal blue

fingers that wrinkled in snow
tightly holding those gems ~
like you hold my hands
as we dance ~
in unison with 
the lovely melody 
whispered by...

Truth be told said topic minimally embellished
rather, prattling youthful looking
baby booming geezer
precious time (yours), he doth bilk
(cue sinister mock-up halloween voice)

moost valuable intangible
outstripping fine spun golden silk,
yet coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine
drives dingbat to whole new level
wits end where sonar helps sound out his ilk.

Think me swallowing,...

the room is filled!
  it's as if Spring arrived inside
        removed the grey from shadows
   told the sun to shine softly
yet in abundance

"Almond Eyes"


She moves like the ocean at twilight’s call  
Golden curls where sunbeams fall  
Almond eyes with fire inside  
A depth where quiet dreams reside  

With her, the world begins to bend  
No start, no finish, no need to mend...
