Hawk
On this mountaintop I sit
In solitude reclined –

For such a heightened lift
Soul-weary did I climb
The world foresworn – a bit
(My aching heart inclined)

A flowing form of art
A hawk goes soaring by
In curving – graceful – arc
Suspended in the sky

It liberates my heart
And with the hawk...

Vows Of Love That Time And Distance Can Not Deny

Beyond the ocean and high clifftop ledge 
  Across great expanse of water and skies
Two lovers far apart gave loving pledge
 vowing truest of loving never dies.
Each longing for fever of midnight dreams
  welcoming...

The Late Night Consultation, The Compromise, The New Delusion

Three nights of sadness, each a woe'some torture,
on that narrow ledge a cold raging deep within
I having lost that which I had foresworn to hold
and in that realization- saw myself as a true fool.

While wearing a smooth...

Scarlet French Kisses
Long for the tender tormenting touch of her slips, a vermillion vice of the abyssal depths that lay within the merest brush of her breath, a zephyr's caress that set aflame the parched arid landscapes of my wasteland as sighs hollow echoes whispered promises grew,...

The Spoils of Avarice
A tattered, ragged leather bag
hides faded photos wrapped inside;
both black and white and kodachrome
reveal lost dreams once held with pride.

An older, colder man made weak,
by sojourns made so long ago,
has paid with shame a painful price
for bitter seeds he chose to sow.

Consumed by youthful avarice,
success...

Reflections - Not Necessarily Yours
I don’t have time to stand in lines
I won’t waste time with fools
I dislike liars and cheaters
And distrust self-serving rules
I won’t spend my time listening to hype
That’s why politicians are boring
Their rhetoric sounds exactly alike
And leaves you comatose and snoring

Freedom of choice is for everyone
NOT...

I Am Not Allowed To Summon Her Name Because Her Hubby Must Be Very Insecure
IS HE ME?

Today, whichever man is now with you
Whoever is doing that which we used to do
Whoever gets to feel what I once felt
I hope he appreciates the sexy, sylphlike and svelte

To whomever your heart has now been led
Whatever man now shares your bed
I’d give...

Ode To An Eastern Lady
1

Behold!  that human angel hovering
not in bright skies but on far-distant land
a siren voice, hypnotic, echoing – 
desperate singing, sundry songs without demand – 

Till comes that calming gentle rest.

Unfettered wings whose feather tips remain
too still until in cauldron stirs the beast
found’ring gales ablast...

Waking, Her Pretty Smile, Her Presence- Both Lives Uplifted

Of all the old broken roads left so very far behind
No, nothing, nothing rests easy on this wondering mind
O' yes, there were earthen angels that knelt to pray for me
Because truth is, I once was wild, so...

Agincourt
Agincourt

Bowman, thou art fit and strong,
Armed with a bow, six foot long,
A weapon made, for war and death,
Defend the right, til your last breath.

Draw me an arrow, straight and long,
Aim it at that Motley throng,
There stands our foresworn enemy,
Fighting, like us, to be free.

The odds,...

A nap
,,Just a nap in noon I'll take", I always say in sudden,
Since my eyes have already rotten, 
and my breath's beat forgotten.

My clothes full of cotton, 
sadly the Fabric foresworn, 
of all the drawn scorn.

And as my face touches the couch, 
I heard my mother...
