That had a small brook with swimming ducks

He decided to settle down in this pleasant vale
The cobbler was educated in Frankfurt and

blue dressBurgundy shades daub my dearly-bought garb
Lengths of silk, waist-gathered with a tassel:
umbilical tie to calico beau…
Embellished neckline of precious turquoise.
Dollops of lace, round the hips, drape mangled
Raggedly dangling like a worn flower…
Edging the hem’s rolled velvet, midnight blue.
Sinuously, along the...Read More

Where Were YouWhere Were You?
Where were you
when my world
had collapsed?
Where were you
when my world
was frozen cold?
Where were you
when my world
was flood-stricken?
Where were you
when my world
was lightning-struck?
Where were you
when my world
was ravaged?
Where were you?
Now you come
when all is

PurposePurpose
If we examine now
What we are doing
And find we are not free..
We must then
Put the doing aside
Perhaps only briefly
And be the observer
Of the doing..
Then the observer
Absorbs the doing..
No observer..No doing
Just what is happening..
And we notice freedom
Making reentry......Read More

Another collector at the show

when love is notWhen love is not
A man meets a woman
And thinks she loves him in return
The kissing
the hand holding is the same
but something, something is wrong
after making love, she turns her back
away from him, not speaking.
He fell sadness and emptiness after

Human storyWhen guns become toys
And innocence stolen,
When violence is a big joy
And kindness forgotten,
The tears will be very warm.
When money controls minds
No charity and no mercy,
When souls become blind
Not feeling Eternity,
The prayers will be very...Read More

Died ONE LAST HOPE-One last hope LOST-
one last hope LOST
say goodbye
tear stained
you once promised me infinity
so say goodbye
a child, One last hope LOST
Still birth born death
One last hope LOST
DIED AT BIRTH
STILL BORN One last hope LOST

FrozenThey say Have Faith
But do they really know
Have they seen the light before
Have they seen for sure
I try to believe
But what’s left is we’re alone
Sombrely living
And forever black clouds hang over
Even when it’s such a sign
Inability to cope sans...Read More

her lips had kissed many a man a butterfly
Fragrant and vivid like a spring day in May
Yet not to the point of pollination.
She waited for a kiss that tasted of wealth
She dreamed of a castle and ballgown...Read More

Dark Soul
The beauty of a sunset, she had
Clothed in burning scarlet velvet
Stories of her ghost the silent streets
Children feared her,
She got razing screams, mental
Her hands withered life away
Her horse walk drawn men, dead
Alive, they laughed her
She swallowed their joys, sorrow
Black energy...Read More

TideReal life always flows in
Covering the pictures stoked in the sand
Joyful fleeting thoughts
Faces and messages
Knowing but hoping no wave will come.
Sometimes just 10 minutes of closeness and calm
Often not enough to reach the school gate
No stage setting or plans can...Read More

And no police sirens have been cutting the night
Till before and after sleep.

The humanity intrigues...Read More

someone stretches the truth until it becomes the lie
and then defends its falsehood for all to hear and believe in
but some wiser ones sense the truth that lay hidden

Different from TV but funnier.

Some ladies sing mournful songs.

But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thoughtA glass stands upon a table,
Watched by arbiters of existential
State.
They observe the glass, to give opinion
As to its contents.
The Pessimist speaks: “There is wine
In the glass, and it is half empty”.
The Optimist, with shake of head
And wave of hand,...Read More

DOUBLE TALK
Idle sit the swords in bloodied rust
old glories faded in the long dull blades
lie about cold beauty's savage lives
masked within the scars of victors songs.

succumb to acquiescent mumbling
rising in the throat of strangled steel
tempered by...Read More
