Best Grounds Poems

Summer lay lazily over the land.
The languid weight of wind and water 
bowing tree limbs, chasing sand 
squalls over sidewalks.

Cyclist meander down aisles
of Rose of Sharon shrubbery past 
banks of day lilies and Pez-purple
hydrangeas.

Tourist, colorful as the flowers,
buzz through seaside shops in flip flops

Destruction, As Kali Walks Upon Earthen Grounds


Goddess of Destruction that teams with the Lord of Lusts 
As wrathful winds bequeath savage ravaging gusts
Hades match,  that has destroyed many a soul
World and darkness combine to take heavy tolls
Entity that perhaps beset Edgar Allan Poe
Kali takes...

My heart scans 
for a familiar face 
through throngs
of strangers 
as they scatter 
pell mell 
around me 
eager shoppers 
casing brightly lit 
  sale stuffed store fronts 
while seduced
by the siren song of fresh coffee  
coupled  with 
sticky sweet  cinnamon buns 
suddenly 
the bitter fact
swallows  me
whole again
you no longer reside
anywhere
outside
of  my...

The struggle is not between 
East and west or
Worst and best, but lies 
On a far more slippery slope
Connecting the cold dark, canopy of night 
With the light of hope. 

The battle rages 
Throughout the ages 
Like wild fire burning 
Grass and trees below 
Mother...

Here lay the cabins, neatly lined in a row. Here lies the forest, surrounding us head to toe as we roast marshmallows and giggle as we eat smores, telling old horror stories passed down from generation to generation. The camp bells blare early in the...

In time, a faded letter turned to ash,
dampened teak now acrid and abused,
a timeless quarrel's scene, an ancient clash,
one paroxysm fierce, two mastheads fused.
Subsumed in fortune's cast of reel and ruse,
blended masses nursing wounds and fears
ne'er comprehending how it ended here.

What forced each flag to...

When you ask many  rich Congolese 
of the East of DRCongo about the reasons 
of keeping their millions US dollars
under the grounds.  
Majority of them will point  the Wars 
And some Rebellions
Which are pushing 
And  supporting 
by some Westerners
And Americans of evil hearts. 

Rivers and...

An afternoon excursion
Filled with friends and food and art
Takes an ordinary Thursday
And just blows it off the chart.

Just a stroll throughout the gardens,
So impeccably maintained,
Proves that Nature has the power
To keep callers entertained.

Add some monumental sculptures
And a classy, tasty meal,
Then you’ve hit on the equation
For...

Something's brewing deep within
With steam rising again and again
I'm no drama queen
Just need to harness steam.

So many projects I've spied
Each now I've seen, bears wings, and will fly
Everyone will gain
One vision, we're the same.

Let's cruise, capture, show and tell
From dust to dust, then more as...

listen to the quiet in the middle of a snowfall
watch my puppy chow chow leap into my every bootprint
watch a stranger smile and wave at me and say hello
watch me wave back and tell her to enjoy the snow
notice how she is still smiling as...

I fallen down beneath 
The grounds of hollow

Whispers echo voices 
Roman choices 

I scream as I rise up 
By your cold gray dead stone 
Flowers dying 

People crying 
My heart unfeeling 
Why am I so cold inside 

I'm only trying to feel alive 
My feet...

Narrative Energies Love Brown Grounds Mating

I lay atop of the earth interment pleasuries;
Beautiful the fruited mounds on her;
Golden tanned brown coverings, energies 
Valley’s deep core holds the seeds bore;

Nourish the crevice that holds the trees;
Inserted seeds grow out of the terrain, now full grown trees;
I’ve...
