Deep Poems

don't fall in love 

Loving him in a romantic way
From a one way street till endless highways 
Till he signaled no entry sign
I was a fool or maybe the luckiest of all
For some people,
That happens once in a lifetime
Or
For others,
They...Read More

I’ve been a man
Trading on stolen time
Stepping on love
Yet look for it in my torn pockets,
Rugged mind, broken heart
Somehow blind, but oblivious
Full of pride, but afraid
Full of strength, but so weak

I’ve walked on rivers, and lakes
Deep valleys where darkness reigned
High...Read More

    It rains outside
    asleep is the time
    deep sleep without mishap
    So i hibernate sans fixed hours ......Read More

I would have liked to be a heroine,
As daring as I was feminine,
As a cloud-bound day-dreaming teenager,
I was all too impatient to begin.

Where did my downfall have its origin?
The seed might have grown from one small sin,
Possibly from one despicable...Read More

Someone and Someone Else 


Someone need someone else's name 
To call out like a hymn everyday 

Someone need someone else's eyes 
To look up at the stare submerged in galaxies

Someone need someone else's smile 
To bloom the white flower on...Read More

I'm sick of the broken promises and open lies.
I could give you a million tries.
But the truth is you'll never change.
But my life you want me to rearrange.

I'm grown and I'm not dumb.
You choose everyone else and leave me numb.
It's...Read More

Tommy Turtle took a ride,
because the pond was deep and wide,
Buster Beaver offered his back,
to swim for free without any flack,
Tommy jumped on and grabbed for dear life,
this was his only chance to find a wife,
they crossed the pond to...Read More

The light is leaving me behind 
Where all of them have gone? 
Blind eyes everywhere 
Still can't find me 

The darkness is following me 
Hard to breath in 
I can't bear it anymore 
No more words to be said 
Come...Read More

deep sigh ...
expels sadness
picture window filled
with city lights, waltzing
the park trundles out below like
a black tongue, tasting ...
lights there, too, scattered like fireflies
'til they meld into more sparkled structure
breast of metropolis, bejeweled
dangling upward to tickle heaven
i oft' take it for...Read More

IT, Revisited

BEHOLD, this perilous journey, tis a whimsical tale of woe, that is delightfully bespoken, for welcomed ears to bestow, as a clown be found awakening, his oversized feet abound, his frizzy hair stabbed outwardly, murderously left undone. Methodical preparation...Read More

Your face lays soft on the surface of my mind
a deep reflection beneath the shadow of my soul
that leaves me smiling in the twilight of life
as I wonder about love from long ago
that dwells with the lost rainbows sought

"In my battered whelms;
Those profiles which I never win;
My healing has just begun,

they begin...

The winter storms;
often remind me of my birth
my birth when I was born

in the cold months of January...

there was I buried out of my mother's womb;

Now not...Read More

Very rarely will you ever see,
anyone who hates money more than yours truly.
"Well, If you don't want your money,"
they say to me constantly,
"you can always give it to me."
They don't even hear themselves sadly,
not realizing that money, are the chains...Read More

Bang! Bang! Bang! 
The sound of gun shots echoing in the air
Shattering windows and, smashing glasses 
Sending people pouring out in the street
Gun shots penetrating the clouds 
With a message that is very loud

People are running and screaming around
 confused...Read More

i shall never be able to forget our affection
was deep as first love, and wild as all regret-
crimson and medallion encompass my soul;
‘neath the autumn moon i still etch your silhouette

sincerity arrived and remorse soon followed,
for i needed compassion, someone...Read More

I witness I see On my pillow
Surround sound guarded by the universe
A picture prompt of
Skies gray in places black
Other areas white
Shadows
All around
I stare as is grasp
Caressed
Deep inside of myself/themselves
I envision across my bed room
Lights turned OFF
what of the figures
Those miss-figures
Silver...Read More

Head down


I'm still walking.  I'm still talking.
I'm still trying to find a way for this life to mean something.
I got no direction…just using self-reflection.
Trying to find a way to see me under closer inspection.


I wanna be in love, but...Read More

Tenderly I held him  took him in
As though we touched each other skin to skin
Dying is what everyone must do
Even when it splits the Me from You

What we took for granted  every day
Had its end like any mortal’s...Read More

Staying up for three days
inside of one night,
the walls come crashing in

Compression imploding,
my mind exploding,
all memory suffering

Each hour like three,
as day becomes night,
the reaper at the door

Waist deep in the heartache,
his presence a warning
—my exit unsecure

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

a trijan refrain

Immortals fighting in a war
spar to find the liars.
Though it generates some rapport,
toleration backfires.
Immortals lose in false debate.
Speak up, strive to keep the facts straight,
       immortals, fight!

Your smiles-gone, from past setbacks
 Use my candle and melt my wax 
To fill the holes in all your cracks 

Your hopes of dim, Re; loss of trust 
Use my polish of magic trust 
To blanket your hardship's- layered crust...Read More

Here we are again
With me with my small voice 
smaller still than it was before
Reaching deep into the darkness to find you 
to give you my hand and tell you that you are not alone
Here we are again
 with me...Read More

On a balmy evening, I was out enjoying a walk,
Admiring the flowers and scenery on my block;

Moonlight poured, and nobody else was about,
Because I had become restless, I had gone out.

Fireflies were dancing, reminiscently green,
As roses recall to mind the...Read More

Take me away
To the open plains
Where the winds and
Wildflowers play.
Open and free
Just you and me
Feeling the high
Of a strong steady breeze.
Up, up way up high
We fly free like kites
And soar with eagles
Til clouds are nigh.
And when our trip is done
We’ve...Read More

His weapon is not a sword
but pen and ink and the spoken word.
He needs no guns or knives.
His weapon of choice is hidden behind a thin disguise.
to spew hate and fear upon our lives
as he shuts down democracy in a...Read More
