storm waves amassed
if only I had waited
for the waves to pass
my poetry could have floated 
gently to shore...

In the storm's embrace,  chaos reigns,
Winds howl through the ruins of shattered dreams. 
Dark clouds of fear flow like streams,
Yet within...

Kiss the setting of the sun:
Lavender waters....

The crescent moon spoke quarter truths
    glowing yellow orange 
       in the evening sky.
Crickets and katydids chirped loud and incessant
    and the gray day sky revealed

Swirl sweet song same,
Etch each embrace;
Need nurtures name,
Seed special space;
Observe orbit,
Reap restless rape;
Ink inner id,
Ask active ape,
Live lovely lines.
Success sets state;
Urge underlines,
Raise roomy rate;
Glimpse gifts galore,
Explore encore.

the light chiffon veneers of winter's face
          slow-deliquesce as rangy shadows wane

The Voice(After the Yolanda Surge)

I never thought they would still
Be able to see light 
After the  squabbles, the surge, the darkness...
I heard of the waves that swerved like a car
Crashed and pounded the dwellings
Of poor desperate souls...
I heard their voices , their cries, their...

The surge of violence is
seen and read in everyday headlines:
riots and religion's wars
are signs of future chaos! 
Corruption in Governments
induces a mortal thought:
Brutus and his accomplices 
are ready to stab Caesar in the chest:
is blood a way to avenge injustices?

The true heart knows
The poise of feel;
A lovely glow
Flings surge of will.


The fond soul flings
The voice of choice;
A living spring
Prompts a sure poise.


The clear mind thinks
As words frame thought;
A steady link
Primes urgent lot.


The man can see
When dark night falls;
A touch sets free
Verse from dense gall.

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings
rip across fabric of society
buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first
two thousand and twenty three
countless innocent people lost lives
deliberately, yet randomly...

Magician Whizdo had a Vegas act
he pulled a Great Dane out of a hat.
One night the dog had the urge
he sprinkled the crowd with a surge.
Whizdo escaped town and won't be back....

TELL ME WHY NOT YOU

It has always been you
Looking into your eyes 
I wonder what good I did in my past life
Tell me why not you

You embody perfection in your imperfection
I see 
Nature must have had a hand in our connection
Tell me why not you

I...
