The...the
the indescribable
kicking of 
one's plausible pulse
is usually described as
swallowed
infant-swallowed -
a swallowed collectible
a practicled'd 
particle of
something. Yes or no...!
Know - I know 
a nothing is
it's...it is...
something'd 
allowed and advertised.
Stut...stutt...stuttering

my 
emotions

and - yes. No!

Vehicle headlights segue through the muggy day as police cars and ambulances hold 

sway as though autumn has crept into a summer's day and flora and fauna 

do not know what to do until this glorious English summer returns; as though 

the Gulf stream and...

On this seashore djinn

Halcyon echoes ebb and flow

Cauterized banter scrapes by

As bath water bubbles march together

 

At the dock yard dalliance

Ruffled men shake their sails

Top hats and whales nailed down

Striking the flash iron for new waves

 

Dress up ladies dash their spice

Holding tongue for murmurs...

Symphony of the Devil
(and yes I do play with fire 
on a number of levels... hehehe)


Drums of despair
Beating my will...
My Surrendered soul
Bleeding unrepaired

Horns of dissention
Devouring their fill…
My Surrendered soul
Painful comprehension

Strings of consternation
Branding their way
My Surrendered soul
Eroded determination

Cymbals of disgrace
Drowning my day
My Surrendered soul
Gone without a...

A day that segues into smooth
From bumpy at its start
Is like a prize awarded
For not crumbling apart.

The smiles are that much sweeter;
The vibes all silk and satin.
The energy as upbeat
As the best parts of Manhattan.

Without a little snag or two
To bring about disfavor,
The smoothness wouldn’t...

A scientist once took to the skies,
With aerospace dreams and questioning whys.
He'd listen intently, a thoughtful façade,
Then go his own way—decisions, unflawed.

"Don’t argue!" he'd say, with wisdom so spry,
Yet soon he'd be caught in a passionate reply.
Papers unwritten, his ideas took flight,
But work clipped his...

I come before you, proclaiming you're Brother
Or Sister in Christ's death, that Eve was our Mother
Though you claim (in faith too) that my Truth’s your falsehood!
If all faith’s just faith, how can we in our childhood
Claim ‘Wisdom’ of adults (a goal that's aspired to,
Not some...

The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie

Like a humane huntress, she
(the anthropomorphized storm)
brought a spate of cool Autumn like
temperatures and gentle soothing rain
here within my neck of the woods
for the last couple of days.

No matter the fall equinox
and first day of autumn arrives
countless weeks from...

There is a collective revving
of chutzpah and pluck.
The flock takes flight.
One robin jumps late,
takes off alone
behind the bunch.
It struggles to catch up,
then segues in mid-air,
as if to say: ...k it.
The bird lands alone
on a bare branch.
It doesn’t care;
robins are not starlings....

Estrela

Diretora,
no palco 
do sábado
estrelado, 
a dança das
decisões
é o teu fado: 
as estrelas guiam 
com sua luz divina, 
e sábia, tu segues 
e guia
a rota que
 se destina
para fazer
do pouco,
mais e mais....
