Not Heeding But Eating
Eve my dear, God's word to us you did not heed.
You ate of the tree then gave fruit to me we did not need.
I can't blame you my dear for it was really my fault.
I didn't have the balls to tell you no, so thus...

The window sill in prisms of light
reflects a half-opened treasure chest,
damp in sandalwood mold: in there
a mixture of unlived passion of my art
lays on ---dried paintbrush, unfinished
verses,  torn ballet slippers, and sepia tickets
for unseen musicales; that behind the cataract
night’s hazy pale of night, I...

Freya was not quite sure whether she dreamt or floated in a bubble of hope

Her anchor cut loose the compass’ needle bent and stuck in past of beyond

A mouldy flare with no flair a life vest punctured and riddled with sea weed


She felt like a...

Survive By Heeding Advice
When the parents are gone,
the kids survive by heeding advice and carry on
their wishes by honoring their true intent;
flowers sprout and then bloom,
never living their fragile, little ones to a fateful gloom...
as sunshine nurtures them!


Glimpses may not give us a full image,
but they can reveal...

Heeding My Hearts Warning
The shape of my heart was square
All corners saying beware
I get broken easily
Don't give in or you will see
Me crumble, not mending quick
There are more deceits and tricks
By con men who do not want
True love, they carelessly flaunt
Lies to set an evil trap
They spring upon...

Heeding Nature's Call
The sun ascends over the horizon
Beckoning a fresh morn’ set to unfold
Rays of sun on mountain peak emblazon
Rainbow colors in the distance enfold
Revealing nature’s splendor to behold

Wispy clouds above the sky in the North
Rolling up as white as a cotton ball
The crystal blue water sways...

Heeding the Alert
This morning when I went to walk
The streets were slick with rain,
But certain blocks were icy
So the message was quite plain:

Don’t take a chance; just turn around.
There’s no need to complain,
For it you fall, you’ll lose much more
Than with this walk you’d gain.

Obeying such an...

Coiled in a blanket

loops joined in winter

crazed by interlude

spring out of cold step

she snaps into life


dusts her cobwebs

crochets a path

season unfolds

promises change


joints aching

fused from rest

test motion


bluebells

seed lush


tunes...

Heeding Morals
Jockeying my fortunes,
I moved efforts on the sly,
Did many things on tip toe and fly,
Some of it was good and right,
Most of it was bad mocking forthright,
I killed and maimed many winged hopes,
In efforts to get in my ropes,
Now that I sit back and count,
All...

Heeding
I listen to my neighbors toilet flush,
it takes a long time for the sound
to drain away and refill,
I settle deeper between my ears
cognizant of the cadence
of its slow rise and fall.

The trash compactor chews on
for a grinding stretch after I switch it off.
Uncomfortably heated body-bellows...
