Bliss fixates our attention
upon formless awareness,
that in timeless time we see,
light of our true Self....

Ball
That feeling when you step to plate,
Knowing it's some type of fate.
Looking at an open grass,
With three bases you need to pass.

Grasping life by the hand,
Time to take this with a grand slam!
Stepping to home,
A swing with a small groan. 

I watch as the ball...

Roughneck
You marketing types love us.
Blue all over, fear of nothing a man can throw,
Quick to bow down when the boss come by...
not the one paying me...., 
but the one who rules my roost. 

Day breaks looks nice,
especially because the roads aren't covered and filled with...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



A Lady Waits
A Lady Waits

The sleepy sea massages a creaking ship which slowly navigates
through blackness the sky emanates and the great Atlantic integrates.
A sailing school of serenading seagulls dips and dives and celebrates,
and amongst the sea-sick shipmates, a welcome murmur swiftly circulates.
A wave of steerage class splashes...

Not a Moment To Spare
It’s now, and not a moment to spare
Trust little of the future 
–Distant and nowhere near. 

It’s now. Refuse to put it off
Seize today’s mirth
Squander today’s worth.

Tomorrow never fixates, always unsure
Changes by the minute
In a blink, in a heartbeat.

Blaze today, savor the moment
Tomorrow’s dream is...

Cold May breeze
Evening descends;
Furious drenching

~~~~~~~~~


Memories stray
Haunting whispers;
Familiar vices

~~~~~~~~~


Moon glow aura
Evening illumination;
New dreams unfurl

~~~~~~~~~


Morning rainbow
Light streams call;
Gather new treasures

~~~~~~~~~


Temple bells
Prayer alludes;
Stillness meditation

~~~~~~~~~


Late homecoming
Workday overtime;
Supper time dinner

~~~~~~~~~


Chocolate ganache cake
Three Michelin stars;
A perfect treat

~~~~~~~~~


Ageing documents
Crumbling sepia pieces;
New lease of life

~~~~~~~~~


Weary bones squeak
Knees aching;
Active brisk walking

~~~~~~~~~


Good guy, bad guy
Conflicts...

Wild Goose Chase
Pursuit for elusive prey
teases yours truly
into treacherous catacombs
dangerous mentally
challenging pitfalls,

sets small hairs of back
on camp creeks edge
of night, where dark shadows
evoke outer limits
of twilight zone

prompting me constantly questioning
purposefulness, qua hair raising pursuit
embarking these modern roman times
all for naught,
nonetheless I chide self

failing to heed
emotional, mental, psychological...fallout
in...

Recurring Dream
There she stands
in silent repose,
her hair rests at her shoulders
under little white bows.

She fixates on the house
in a field with no trees,
it's lone luminescent window
emanates unease.

The path ahead is trodden,
She's been here before,
The wheat grass lays flat and broken
right up to the door.

Although the sky...

Premium Member Que Dices, Sarah
Que Dices, Sarah?

No wooden-cross 
parachute deployment awaits
where we held
not one another
but separate breaths
that lit the candle
which ushered in darkness
the only kept
promise our broken 
home still fixates.

How do we square
this parallelogram,
hmm, Lassie?

Or is it simply a case of 
que sera, sera, Sarah?...

Breathe easy
Stride to the edge;
Turn a new page

~~~~~~~~~


Ash in the air
Hazy shades blur;
Smoky scents linger

~~~~~~~~~


Barbecue leftovers
Smog cues loiter;
Choking aroma

~~~~~~~~~


Arrivals
Departures;
Change fixates

~~~~~~~~~


Words in a row
Meaning making sense;
Timely distractions

~~~~~~~~~


Curious eyes
Watchful waiting;
Emergent pulse

~~~~~~~~~


Picture book story
Perfect romance;
Reality check

~~~~~~~~~


What happens now?
Tact sees fact;
Conflict mellows

~~~~~~~~~


Naive assumptions
Cruel reality scars;
Pain excruciates

Watcher watching
Two sides clash;
Blurry...

Angelus Novus
My eyes
Inseparably focused 
On the plain, colorless canvas
And yet
Still ideating
A bright, elucidating palette,

The golden curls
Falling over the strong, pensive face
Shown glancing 
At something unseen,

“Oh,” I wonder,
“What might it be that fixates you so?”
Do you heed caution?
Perhaps an undisclosed epiphany?
Or is it fear
Which makes your broad...

Outlawry In the Night
The blue moon crackingly, magnanimously rose,
As he creeped in quietly, repressed — inconspicious!
His eyes gleaming in appatency yet sorely of passion,
Calm are his actions but embedded monstrously of tension. 

Dulcet words escaped his mouth in intimidating fashion,
Beads of sweat rolled down my temples as he...

Purple City
In the palate of a rainbow purple is my muse , such depth, such splendour it entrances the eye it fixates only on it 

This is the colour of great many things, it may be the lavender of lilacs, or the boldness of a ripe...

Broken Record
Tear stained cheeks, she paces the room
wondering how to make him happy...
happily ever never....this man's as bad as the last
Moonless sky overcast,  she's peering through clouds so grey
praying tommorow is one of his good days
anguish is her surrogate lover,  embracing the pain thats...
