The Prismatic Self
...I write because silence was a tyrant
with a velvet muzzle.
Because childhood was a soundproof cage,
and I was taught to swallow every scream
like communion.
“Poetry is not therapy,”
the judge...

Echoes of Leadership
...Amidst the noisy world,
A unique character is bound,
Every creature has a sound,
A little moment shared, will find.
A day cold and drizzly,
Folks remain warm and sturdy,
Thin icy drops cheer ...

Popping off
...This was last Christmas - 39 days ago - doesn’t that seem like ancient history?
We were in Lisa’s (parent’s) 50th floor flat, in Manhattan. It was mid-morning, we’d done the present thing, and it...

...Florida birds spark snowstorms,
the electric energy
of spinning tops turns the world.
Magnets race around a planet
just to come together.
A drizzly mist forms lakes,
digs sink holes, and in...

An Old Graveyard
...As l stroll through an old graveyard
On a overcast drizzly day
I drift back in time
To million miles away
Mesmerised by the headstones
I contemplate lives gone by
Who were they, who loved th...

Unwavering Spirit
...The route winds and twists literally forever.
by way of the sea, the farmland, and the sky.
Yet, we triumph simply because we are clever,
If you ask why on a dune I saw you stroll by.

The Month of November
...Fall
Calls to
Merry heart.
Drizzly, snowflakes,
Nature's spice palette;
First alights on the eye.
Neath spun amorous setting,
Embers colors grace November,
Bound, with families sound of gladn...

God In Nature
...ap;
Why should barren clouds move with no torrential pour?
It's, thus, when my soul thinks, wings, begins the rare "roar"...!
Each creature proclaims beauteous divine nature,
Each little leaf "jingles" his love-legislature;
Slowly falls in landscapes "drizzly" drops; soothing-filled
"Pitter-patter" of rain, then, benign smoothing-thrilled...!
Am I hearing the breeze "gargling" to hear her throat?
Have pandemonium of parrot lost their coats?

The Mystery of the Girl and Monsters
...the mystery of the girl and monsters
in the fog, lost, precarious knocking,
lighthouses, antique dresses,
the back and forth of my imagination.
at sea - the deep, dark movement
of unseen waves...

My Heart's Secret
...I never cease to puzzle over
life's mystery, how on a drizzly morning
I found my long wished for love
crossing the street in opposite direction,
eternal love was conceived in the moment
and she ...

The Painter As a Healer
...Twilight hugs the ivory hue of a street-lamp;
gold mocha eyes watch the drizzly
evening through a dusty window.
Autumn leaves in the misty wind are a sleepy flutter
as the smooth cloudy sky...
