Sepia  photo hides  a face
With  creased lines  that could not retrace;
The details of  Grandma’s allure
As  tints cover those outlines pure--
Blemished by wartime,  its grim tales
Dark  the image of life’s travails
Severing her forgotten  youth:

Through my lamp's pearlescent...

Men cannot be trusted
emotionless and hardened,
They tend to be aggressive
Then thoughtlessly are pardoned.

Promiscuously driven 
With ego swelling large, 
They're loud, endowed and over proud
And in your life they'll barge!

They see vastly different
They see a girl- a prize, 
Their honesty is always great
Until they just tell...

Searching vainly, the dark enthralled with death, 
Moral fervor and forthrightness deep breath.
In utter silence, stealth into its depths 
Drawing breath, soon all His knowledge in breadth.

OH HONEY, LOOK AT THE PRETTY PINK HOUSE ON THE ****ING CORNER

Is it more about the places they go and the people...

I told the nun in charge
of Religious Education
If asked about sexual orientation
I will say
I'm gay.

I want to teach
deep listening learning
not how not to lie.

She wonders why
such forthrightness
feels so important
Are you a recruiter
for gay pride?
Are you a political activist?

Gay pride
makes as much sense to me
as straight...

A pugilist and a whistle-blower  

I never thought much of boxing 
but I liked Muhammad Ali`s forthrightness 
steadfast stood against the storm of
hatred and vilification when he didn`t want 
to join the Vietnam war even though 
he was banned from pursuing his craft for

WELL THERE BLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Two orbiting stars round a center of mass
that’s common to both in the scheme
is symbiotic in relationship class
or so goes the titular theme

and not a horse, my mother had many faults as a housewife

How does one interpret,
Everyday moments

We all want clarity and forthrightness,
So why the discombobulated torment

Of words that distort the facts,
Untruthful twisted personal attacks

The world is a grand stage,
Where reputations can be made

Or lost,
By words tossed

Without validity,
Or connection to reality

Yet the guilty play the victim,
For others truth...

At every turn in time, I wish to live the best dream 
The best wish everyone could have
That caress the precious grace per luck 
Which colors achievement
And can be counted on as reinforcement cum hard work 
Which pave ways, wings soar peacefully 
That bottoms sit...
