SimoneLife is filled with God’s beauty
The everyday beauty which surrounds us
And the pure beauties in a friend like you
The warmth in your smile
The compassion in your eyes
The invisible wings on your back
God’s angels surround us
An angel for each one of us
Invisible only to our lack...

Water (For My Friend, and Poet Simone Segal)Wherever you are I know, crickets swarm for richer spring
For the desert that strangles the wing of the eye
Marks the space where in the palm trees shade lions lie
For every drop upon the window pane is an oasis to the soul
Winds map here the glass...

Simone Legree: AnimaFrowning at my desires, and the knowledge I acquire.
Disguising them as shame, pain, and misery.
Scorning me in front of company, but he lives with me.
His lashes wait for me to surface from the dark corners that harbor me.
With him I'm on a leash, in the...

SimoneSimone
I’ve yet to see her cry
Or wipe a tear from her eye
Though I’ve seen her dry sweat off her brows
And that fan ain’t nothing
She’s going on sixty-five
Burgundy lipstick stained teeth
Her kiss perched on my cheek
And dark hairs atop her lip
Like mine I wish...

Just Me and Simone BilesAnother contest
despaired of my fate
So down and depressed
threw up what I ate
Just me and Simone Biles
'cept for 'one or two traits...'
I'd plumb forgotten

By the time I remembered

So,...
