Best Recaptures Poems

If two heads are better than one
How much better is three.
For the time has come 
When Translators cannot agree.

Nigel wrote the words in Latin script
And much time has passed 
With many Learned Ones pen’s dipt
In deciding what the story of the Ass encripted.

It is not...

There were silence and stillness in the autumn air
Foliage adorned the trees like fair auburn hair
The stream did not bubble; the pond had no ripples
The garden seemed uninhabited by people

But the garden was not void of good company
On a bench was seated the little girl...

With the onset of warm temperature
across cultures there’s a celebration;
elsewhere in the village or urban setting,
there’s fun and lovely interaction.

In the neighborhood, there’s a good vision
With green trees and beautiful flowers,
militonia orchids, lilacs and tulips,
all these are reasons to smell them.

As many shade trees like...

my story in a thimble protecting me from the prick of the needle

the mother gave birth to an easy baby at noon in the sweltering heat of Morocco
the lively little girl became a teenager in the grey of Paris and lost her appeal
the young adult...

Thirty years ago
many choices
opportunities
for Eden

Mine failed;
sexually:
push, pull
stop, pop
thrice
no words of love
by mutual agreement –
vacuum unfilled – 
a violation of natural law;

Mine field
sensually,
wet, dry
non-stop,
no words of love
avoid disagreement – 
desires unfilled – 
a case of unnatural law;

No choice to leave
no time to grieve					
	

The quake shook

a sibilated soul swiftly flung from two lips embowed, intended to access the 
essence of its recipient and grasp on so tightly that when it is recoiled , the 
unsettled reviler removes a shred. Now inadequate and left immature, the undone 
immortal lashes out with...

The ending recaptures,
  what my beginning set free

A swan in pure flight,
—wings open and free

once again the wind will blow cold
the ice will come with months of snow
that restless feeling fills your soul
where is that place you need to go?

dreams that wrap around your mind
of mountains and starry summer nights
those days of wandering partially blind
don't keep you warm at...

The words in the melody
  the words on the page

Related but different
  the Minstrel and Sage

The music recaptures
  what ink only starts

As harmony sings
  from an angelic heart

A phrase and a lyric
  as cousins relate

Too distant for brothers
  too...

sitting on a bench at the battery
listening to forgotten free jazz
on the most perfectly created sunny, blue sky day
fliritng with an older lady 
watching her figure in a very comforting amazement
focusing back on said free jazz as her husband returns from the bathroom to rejoin...

Peacefully gazing up at the sky
Thinking of my life. 
And all that as been
An passed by,
Thankful
To my mother
For every day & night.
She made them
Alright.
Now I miss my  
 Family.
But I have memories get me by. 
If I drift to far 
I just look up...

I see Beauty in black & white
When i close my eyes
My color come back to me
Yet painting a picture
Of none reality 
Is different 
At da least we have to dread
From man or beast
Only If i can see 
Before reality recaptures
Me
Bleeding on the inside
How it drowns...

It is really a veritable question of our time,
In fact - of all times,
on this once beautiful
molten rock with sea and sand,
We so avidly call our home
Paradoxical fearlessness
albeit so sublime, created by the dark force’s evil hidden hand, 
That might only remain a vision,
Inherited to...
