An intellectual dresses a simple idea in the cloak of heavy and elaborate words
An intellectual dresses a simple idea in the cloak of heavy and elaborate words,
Building castles from long, intricate sentences that rise toward the sky,
While the poet, with eyes deepened in the mystery of the world, opens doors to truth,
He takes the complexity of life and transforms it into a song of wind and light,
Love becomes

Collaborations Details
Most often she was sisu, and otimistic.
He didn't want to understand her confusion
it caused him to lack confidence
Fickle minded and full of
optimism he wanted her to get to the part
of her decision making process where
she would be full of regret and sorry for
not making the deal. Being fair he saw her frustration
and knew what she

Cook Minogue and Her Elaborate Confection
Cook Minogue had created an elaborate confection
I heard that many connoisseurs lined up for inspection
One of the cooks was hauled away during the extrospection
Whispering was heard that included devious deception
The sweet meat created was rumored to be borderline perfection
It was said that Cook Minogue fainted during the ultimate inspection
I can neither confirm this story or

An Elaborate Message
Layoffs all over the world
Not us I think, not me.
Two hundred and seventy-six teachers laid off.
I have no words.
Waiting to hear more.
Two hours later an automatic call comes in
From my school system.
The person leaves an elaborate message in Spanish.
A language we do not speak.
My husband is saying “why?”
I have no answers.
The same call comes

The Bible Is Elaborate With Precise Sounds
Flowing like a rivers water into the ocean
Parts of the river are caught in a puddle growing stagnate
Some evaporating into thin air
The water that goes deep into the earth
Waters life giving it life giving these trees nourishment
With eyes that see but cannot hear these sounds
Of this flowing river become lost in the vast ocean
Creating

Let Me Elaborate
Let me elaborate
On what love means to me
Giving her the freedom
In which to breathe
Give her space and time
To express herself
She is not your prisoner
So don't lock her in your cell
You never own this woman
Even if she's your wife
Let me elaborate
She still has the right
To experience everything in life
Without oppression or control
Ensure there remains within
Her heart,

Let Me Elaborate
beckon drama from my lips
I dare you
in your big boy breaches
to spar with my fiend
fueled and forged by
discordant strings
she will skew you
with an anomaly,
seek embrace
I dare you
with your smooth boy bidding
to cajole with my beast
more demonic than sexy
she will slip you
a forked tongue,
I’m never slow to recall
preferring memories of charity
over jokery, jabs and jeers
but don’t

Elaborate Designs
Beyond the curtain, lies a prayer,
That you might come upon another way.
To find the heart with which to dare,
To stow your restlessness away.
For all the truth that you may speak,
For all your willingness to take the blame.
It doesn't help admitting you are weak,
When you are weak enough to

Mr Elaborate
A sign saying “Mr Elaborate lives here”,
Covered the decrepit wooden door.
It was written in Gothic, on an old piece of black lino,
Ripped up from the floor.
He’d lived there all our lives in that crippled little house with
Black windows, tall steps and grey walls.
Inside he toiled making elaborate things,
Like the dinosaur from balloons sized golf

Elaborate Testament of the Hamattan Season
Cold dawns and extremely chilly dusks
moving clouds stroll down very close to the Earth
vision blurred by dry mist
while humidity is tied in season’s personal polythene bag.
Air becomes a skeleton- ripped of its flesh
pain sensation, so active in a full time job
dry skins stay casualties to deformed flexibility
as they suffer a timely betrayal from an expected
