Premium MemberThe valley expresses

The valley

With its flatness

A space between 

Abrupt enclosures..

An appearance of

Time and space and

A viewer which all

Seem separate..this

Illusion expressing

A calm beyond

Understanding...

Premium MemberA mirror's image

My mirror image is a lie -it only tells me of my beautiful outward appearance and hides all my inner ugliness

Premium MemberCoexistence

city of increasing fervor 
heavy with sealed glass windows
in vaulted towers
sky-high protection 
from the steady spew of cars
urban sidewalks in the
private grayness of fall
where sparrows 
in a small
rush of flutter
(like a jailbreak)
peck at specks of
discarded rice
paths of commonality
in people spaces of
rapid trudging 
that re-jigs 
cellphone foot work
a jump at impulse

birds of an all forgiving grace
hop on concrete
beyond appearance 
messy
to seize
the refuge of home

Premium MemberThe Line of Light

The Line 

Of light

Is neutral

And free..yet

Seeming to vary

One way and

Another..

The seeming is

The appearance

Of everything

As the line

Remains 

Neutral and free

In this

Brief story...

Premium MemberA New Image, An Old Heart

A new image
For first impression
An advertisement
For sale promotion
Various lens and mirrors
For real, virtual, strange images
But for man
No matter how modified the appearance
The heart remains the same


Premium MemberPoolside Reverie

i remember
being by the pool
i was no more than ten
my grand-mother
was enjoying herself
chatting and laughing
suddenly
i caught
myself thinking

it will be nice
to get to that age
and not care
what my body
looks like

what !

even at that age
i knew
there was something
wrong

they had gotten
to me

i was already
brainwashed

Premium MemberFacade

What's behind your well groomed facial hair
Pretend not to have a single care
Whiskers that hide scars
Moustache handlebars 
Detours to avoid the barber's chair

Premium MemberA Perspective of Time

A PERSPECTIVE OF TIME AND WHAT I SEE,
TAKE A MOMENT AND SPEND TIME WITH ME.
I FOUND MYSELF ON A MOUNTAIN TOP,
VIEWING THE WORLD AS A LIVING CLOCK.
WITH TIME BEFORE ME AND ALL AROUND,
MY FEET ARE PLANTED ON THE GROUND.
THE CLOUDS MOVED IN AND IT STARTED TO RAIN.
TIME KEEPS MOVING AND IT'S NEVER THE SAME.
THE SUN CAME UP AND WARMED THE DAY.
TIME WAS SMILING AS IT CAME MY WAY.
THE MOON MADE APPEARANCE AS THE SUN START TO SET.
TIME WAS STILL STIRRING AND THE GROUND WAS STILL WET.
THE STARS CAME OUT STARTED DANCING AROUND.
TIME HAD NOTICED I WAS STILL ON THE GROUND.
IN TIME ON TIME I'LL FLY AWAY.
TAKE TIME BY THE HAND THAT WAY I CAN STAY.
A PERSPECTIVE OF TIME OF WHAT WE SEE.
THANK YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR TIME WITH ME.
