Fair weather eye's
focused on the eastern horizon
occasional salty sea spray
followed by a chilly breeze .

A voyager , wandering adrift today's beyond
searching for better tomorrows
on life's ocean of emotions rolling wave's

At times , I feel like changing direction's
follow the sun to the west
go in circles to...

We arrived with expectations of triumph
There were agonies, desperations and tears
Coloring the hills with melancholy shades
Erasing the imaginings of soldier’s anguish
Embracing loss from the heights of passion
Where worries win and misery invites pain
To grasp the soul with a sense of forbode
Whispering despair through breaths of...

elegance 
       of a 
           phrase
ripples 
     across 
        my mind:
glittering

A HISTORICAL EVENT

It happened over 2,000 years ago
But the story is still being told
About a man that you may know
A man great to behold

Considered by some to be shunned
Yet by others, He was adored
His miracles caused some to be stunned 
By others, His feats were...

You arrived like a rupture in time,
some semantic glitch in the fabric,
sparking where there was nothing…
a rupture before the rapture.

I think—no, I know—
you were watching before I saw you.

The air bent first,
whispers in the pressure,
like the universe leaning in to hear
my last rational thought.

Then—impact.

Your voice,...

In the event that I forget
what this poem is about
I refer you now to the birds
outside my window.
They are silent – it is a sound-proof window,
but I want to speak of windows more.
I should have titled this poem ‘Window’
but then the silence and the birds...

“They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife”
        From “Indian Reservation” by Paul Revere and the Raiders


Oh, Beautiful Cherokee People (original title)

Oh, beautiful Cherokee people,
lovers...

For a job well done, amazed by the outcome.
Although they could not visualize it, they loved every bit.
The imagination of their thoughts, Lambert Treasures were chosen.
Excited by what they saw, the room was the best fit.

Although they could not visualize it, they loved every bit.
Anxious...

Turn it around, Lord
Turn it around, O God in me
Turn it around give unto me
This is my mine moment
To be with you only, eternally
Turn it around, this is mine turn around season
I forsake myself, my sins I lay down my reason

I came through the womb...

The Wall


A near three thousand names called out that day;
   now fifteen years, they've solemnized the date
so labeled Nine-Eleven, to now stay
   within our memories as tragic fate.

But listening to names cannot compare
   to heartache stirred by this museum...

Entering the Dark Side of a Moonbeam
 
Entering the dark side of a moonbeam is always very risky
since the cold and howling bitterness of the night escapes,
as a moaning, devilish agony of selfishness devours the good.

As the human heart fills with air, a legion of...

People tell rumours
Because they have bad motives 
They're jealous
They snatch from others
They're greedy
They're overbearing
They're mischievous
But I tell only because I'm careless
I'm simple, straight forward
I believe my senses
I believe what I see 
And so people pretend to be friendly
I believe what I listen 
And so people...

When people speak of Frankenstein, they often seem quite shaken
But if that name evokes the beast, they're monstrously mistaken.
For Frankenstein does not portray the nameless weird creation
But rather Shelley's choice for his creator's appellation.
So if this Victor Frankenstein should choose to throw a party
Inviting all...
