Sentimental MoodEllington is sitting and tinkling the black and white keys
Coltrane standing and blowing like an autumn breeze
Mood__
Nostalgic, misty-eyed, and feelings of tenderness
Her sweet perfume lingers, her velvety voice echoes, and her sweet caress I cherish
Sentimental__
Relishing, missing, and longing for a distant but not forgotten yesterday
Today, I sit alone. Alone in a sentimental...

MissingI'm lost
Without your hand
To hold
The walk
To school of life
Less bold
You vanished
In a Puff.
So quickly
My heart
So sad
My tummy sickly
No stop
No hug
The speeding car
Whisked you
Away
No au revoir
The color
In my life
Now blue
My hand
So cold.
I'm missing you

The Wicket Keeper**The Wicket-Keeper**
Today, I learned that a lover I once cherished has passed away. Just yesterday, he was alive, and I never imagined I would feel this way about him. It’s strange how I rarely think about the rain unless it floods my drains, my driveway, or my beloved rose garden, or dampens my happy mood....

Gone Through Heaven's Gate
The ghostly night was filled with gloom
As from your grave we walked away.
Grief-stricken, there beside your tomb;
Through Heaven's gate you've gone.
A friend you were until that day
You met your godforsaken doom
And taken through death's alleyway.
From the long stay in your dim room
Where pain and groaning came to stay,
Gossamer wings you now assume;
Through Heaven's gate you've...

The Grave Silence Over GazaI write not with anger, but with the burden of sorrow
that cannot be cleansed by diplomacy nor buried beneath the noise of geopolitics.
For in Gaza, the earth drinks the blood of children,
and the sky records the cries of mothers,
while the world—our world—calculates the cost of silence.
Under the shadow of international law,
we proclaimed the right to...

FOREVERMOREYou laid me in the earth
But I am with you, you are not alone.
I caress your check disguised as the wind.
I hug you as the warmth of the sun.
I sing to you as birds tweeting
And the owls hooting.
I am the movement of the clouds Sheltering you from the heat.
As I watch over...

In Good Company
longevity... a natural proclivity of the mind
the want... the desire to live a long... prosperous life
basking in rays of sunshine...
though even in the midst of life's strife's
we dig our heels in and deal with life's spills...
in hushed awareness we know one day the curtain will close
our sun will set in our medley of...

Black SextantAnother family gathering
the place is packed with deep blue sadness
for the passing of yet another friend.
Faces are strained to the edge of recognition.
pretty bouquets garnish a garish metal basket
holy man staggers to capture the soul of a stranger
ancient chants spraying salt over those that remain.
Like a game of she loves me she loves me not
life...

The Grief I Feel is of Another KindThe grief I feel is of another kind
Sweeter than holy water
A deeper breath than moorland air to find
The black of midnight, not—
Of monstrous seas, but—
Of restful night, donated cloak
From a kindly gentleman to wear
Wrapped in coolest starlight, safe
Astride a destrier — galloping to water
Molted feather — fortuitously found
New flight, gentle wind...

Row by Row the Nettles GrowRow by row the nettles grow
And circles do surround
Hairy stems the prison wires
And jagged leaves their barbs.
Cry out, forsaken sinner
Your voice shall not be heard
We listen to the wind song
And hark its piercing sound.
Your poison nettle vapours
Cling to my moistened lungs
And acrid nettle juices
Drip from my swollen mouth.
Alone, now in death—
Eden’s angel looms
Sword...

Playing Chicken with an Old Friend
no blink, no bluff—
just rust-bitten bikes
on a gravel road,
grip slipping, brakes optional.
we called it honing our craft,
we didn’t dodge.
we needed the crash—
proof we meant it,
authentication we weren’t just
trading truths for dopamine
and DMs.
some bicycles
are built to survive
impact.
mine wasn’t one of them....

The Silence Of Your VoiceThe Silence Of Your Voice
No new day have I seen since you went away, like trying to empty the oceans with a spoon, tears fall in the hole left so deep in my soul.
Words spoken spin like a vortex never leaving always hurting, promises of a life together...

Behind the facadeI gave up on everything, I gave up on everyone.
I know this is a heaven, but I just don't think it was meant for me.
If you knew me you would judge me for all those mistakes
So like the rest of us I carry this smile on my face and act like everything is alright...

Halcyon FallThrough the beige isle, veins of green holler aloud
Lush foliages of maple, yet I pick upon a rosebud
Mists of sentiment brabble, springing whistles of reminiscing
From the floor, they call out to me, unrelenting
I kept at it, pacing across the vast meadow
Lights begin to dim, even so, I shall escape under the nightly glow
Along the paths,...

Think Love When You Think GodHe knows our every thought and he truly cares.
Our Creator and God love us and he is there!
He never forces himself upon me or you.
He gave us freewill and allows us to choose.
Sure he could force us all to do things his way.
But then were just robots, doing whatever He say.
Think about a parent, programming...
