“Embrace and Release”

In the quiet of night, I pondered—
the art of severing ties, like pruning a tree.
The weakest links, once tightly bound,
now set free, like a maiden’s unclasped bra.

2024 dawns, a canvas for transformation.
Covid’s grip loosens, and clarity emerges.
Meltdowns yield to focus, tears to savings.
My...

A wet coin on the mall floor
of sanity's foolish hope

Lies next to others
thrown away by desperate measures
with limited dreams

As they sip on frappucinos;
non-fat coated sin.

Their broken backs
walking with stolen canes
off broke back mountains;
in God we doubt

Another exodus with no occupational hazards,
just dramatizations of puncturing joy...

Incarcerated soul in ribcage of slaughtered  fate
Obsessive saw penetrates secret catacombs of meltdowns

A cranial Kabuki Mask spreads uncertainty over the Pacific......

Millennial Madness
Millennial Madness

Millennial meltdowns dripping liquid assassins
Hollywood havens dressed in fictitious fashions
Political parasites promiscuous pretenders
Inaugural inquisitions collateral contenders

Suicidal secretions, soups of the day
Tantalizing tyrants, leading the way
Corrosive climates heating the score
Idiocentric inconsistencies waging the war.

With thanks to the Environmental Defense Fund,
Advice from ecosystemic pantheists

PENGUIN:

Dive into life;
Avoid undiving into dying, stagnating in reverse-time ruminations.

Appreciate regenerative daydreams;
Depreciate decomposing nightmares.

Take long intuitive wilderness walks
away from short deductive domesticated pathways.

Stand together;
Avoid falling apart.

Go extra cooperative miles
rather than staying stuck
in competing monocultural piles
of divestment...

Premium Member Allegory of Falling In Love
Poetry notebook in my jittery hand, I vacillate
   what if she finds it dull… obtuse…
   beneath her... culturally insensitive?
What if she laughs at its pathos,
   groans at its length, 
   smirks at its earnestness?
As I begin to...

Premium Member Impossibilities
There are things in this world that,
no one can explain or completely understand.
The human ego believes that it knows everything or will…
eventually.

Over a century ago, humankind knew that, 
there would never be people living in space…
perhaps they’ve deluded themselves 
into thinking that there are?

They knew...

Clackers
White crisp shirts
The clackers make their way to
The central
Sea salt is in the air
Frown lines and stress lines
Upon canvases of many
Wooden benches
To rest your heavy heart
Red blisters
Warm conversations
To ease the ache
The Achilles heel
In this big central
The lone white swan
Hiding near
The banks of the lake
Folding its...

Your Long Angular Feet

You don’t know me, but
I been riding here in this trundling lounge car
for two hours now, watching 
you and your long angular feet,
while rumbling over these burdened tracks,
to silent Garden City, up there in Kansas 
on the high wheat plains, sky bound!
I...

Knee Grow Love
Held to Her chest, silly noises and funny faces made you happy
Gripped in His hand, temper tantrums and meltdowns reared your independence
Your fatigue and fussiness paints with such an unconscionable art-ness
All the while We were growing yet teaching you affinity

Moon tide you yearned for Us,...

Some call me Mr. Trump
Some call me ex-president
To some I am a hero
I cater to the right

But I am just a puppet
Putin is the master
He really wants America to fall
No matter what the cost

One failed insurrection
And a hypocritical tweet for every occasion
Oh wait, I got...

Nature Born from a Womb
It’s the same everyday
The same wind, the same lush
The same whisper, the same tale
Yet, in the mist that blows
Through the sunlit meadows
I hear the same voice
Echoed different
Each time.

As my gazes fall
From the subtle ocean floating overhead
Carrying its tiny islands
To the coasts near the tangible oceans
There’s...
