Melancholy
You shall not chase my gloom away!
There's such a charm in melancholy.

My Intimate Stranger
My intimate stranger
Why are we so far away from each others thoughts?

And we live under the same roof on the same bed
But our minds are miles apart at dead end
Withdrawn to each others shell
Why are we...

Ode To My Little BoyFrom his voice springs the tenderest sound of lute
There is not a moment
mute
In the company of my little cherubim
Oh how I love him, how I love him!
Dissonance played in my core.
Before his birth
My first born.
Our pride and Joy.
The cold of winter is all...

WHY?
I’ve asked the question,
A thousand times or more,
What more could I have done?
As I really didn’t understand
What changed?
What had changed this man?
That man I first married.
Ever a handsome fella
Dressed in khaki clothe,
Fresh-faced,
Gentle, caring,
Considerate loving husband,
Before going off
To that stinken...

The Ins and Outs of Silencefour vignettes on silence
I
Muteness broadcasted
hush-hush flaunted
just like a coverall,
silence is a blanket
on human telepathy and intent.
II
It's simple, actions speak as loudly as words.
Silent treatment can be an
autumn breeze,
granting space
cooling tempers.
III
Sulkiness can be likened to
green gall, blatant brooding
and withdrawal characterized as
yellow cowardice,
Passive aggressive behavior exposed.
IV
Cats, life-long...

- a Candied Pout -Upon her face hangs a pout,
Which under her philtrum she wears so pink.
Not that she wills to show sulkiness,
But to send a flirtatious invitation,
And...

Lost In the ReflectionWritten: September 08, 2023
______________________________________________________________
In a realm where reason goes astray,
Where nonexistent boundaries sway,
Lines avoided, boundaries blurred,
Mirrors reflect a world absurd.
A soul that has sight beyond a wise mood.
The sultry shade that mirrors exude
A temper indicative of obstinate pride,
Sniffy and haughty, it cannot hide.
