There Is Sanity
There is sanity
In my madness,
If only it could be found,
For you’ll find
My ravings if unravelled,
Are actually quite profound.

Waiting for a Genius
I’m waiting for a genius
At the Apple store today
Where most customers are younger,
Knowing all will be okay.
At the counter, though, a woman
Who looks older than my age,
Sits and struggles with the agent
Who is helping her engage.
She, like me, is pretty clueless
(Though she seems a little worse)
And she’s viewed with some derision,
Though it once was the

DAVID : Sculpture : Michelangelo: Florence : 1501
“Sweet is my sleep, but more to be mere stone,
so long as ruin and dishonour reign ;
to bear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain ;
then wake me not, speak in an undertone !”

Genius or Else
I can either be a genius.
Or not.
Or a little piece of tape that falls off the wall.
They’re going to find me someday.
I can either be a genius.
Or be a genius.
Or be sculpted and sliced.
And let it happen again.
I can either be a genius.
And not really know

Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase
twelve of us he choose to paint
sons of Jacob in an earthen
jar so sturdy
plonked us with vehemence
directed by neuronal cells
skull protecting scrambled

managed by eyes
emitting fire spark piercings
fingers reading poverty

trade presents no problem for a genius
His narcissism’s off the charts
Only psychos say he’s got smarts

Sells shopping carts full
Of shlock from his rear-facing parts

What's to understand about a genius

Shakespeare
The world's greatest dramatist,
The world's greatest sonnet writer of all time,
The man with supreme knowledge,
The man with a genius brain,
Many writers may come and go,
Yet none can exceed the pinnacle of his genius.
Writing plays dealing with the themes of human life,
He was the one who was close to people's hearts,
Few called him mad, but he

Stolen Dreams - Not Unwell
In your eyes a spark still survives
A place where your dreams flies
With your hand, mind and heart
Created a sweet that was art
One fateful day you questioned the books
To find honey mouthed partner a crook
The trust your partner did swear to abide
Was stealing your dreams, a grin did hide
Heart heavy with sorrow, your trust torn apart
The

Color Guard Genius
Jaunting down a garnet brick road
I admire the diamond treetops
glistening as if it just snowed;
Sky’s alive with sparkles and pops;
Leftovers of silent fireworks
fall to the ground in absurd drops;
Color guard genius in those quirks;
You have no choice but to surrender
to where your imagination lurks;
The darkest Sun or brightest thunder?
Such joy lies in following wonder.

Genius
It lives
in the margins
betwixt and between
Visible
yet fleeting
a light once unseen
When reaching
to touch
its magic forestalls
Lost to that
moment
— posterity calls

Creator's Genius
In the colors of laughter, leaves
Vibrant, dancing, rustling
Joyous and graceful, hurried
Blowing through the still of autumn,
Writing stories of light,
Falling so the world seems so right…
In the colors of music, playing
Energetic, pulsating, rhythmic
Gentle as the stars, glistening
Pouring out smiles
Where dazzling dreams fade,
Stirring the winds of fate…
In the colors of a shadow, sheltered
Animated, awake, radiant,
Still as

Genius Catty
Catty is my genius cat
Who stopped chasing naughty rat
She prefers reading good books
Down at her favorite nooks.
She always wears eye glasses
To read more stories, not less
Sitting calmly in her poise
In a place far from noise.
Sometimes she crosses her legs
Don’t disturb her, I do beg
If you want to read with her
Stay and slump at one corner.
While
