On becoming a night owl...,

watching the second night of

Reviewing mine writings of yore...

(today February nineteenth
two thousand and twenty two)
helps me to become more adept
crafting literary endeavors.

Remembrance of past circumstances
and/or happenstances,
which trials and tribulations

brings to cobweb riddled mind
a quaint uncomplicated existence,
where...

Thomas Kuhn wrote about scientific revolutions
as if scientific theories evolved
at sedately Business As Usual (BAU) pace
until some revolutionary conjecture,
heuristic truth-statement,
suddenly changed scientific metaphysical landscapes,
shaking up orthodox constellations
within and between paradigmatic multicultural relationships,
shifting AnthroWisdom's exegetically proven...

universalistic agglomeration

Do you see me in my fleeting forms,
In my moments painted with ephemeral hues,
With the posture of masks and affectation on stage,
Playful in jewelry that glitters vacantly,
Shyly heralding the yearned-for scents of summer,
An entire carnival,...

So many words are there in our speech,
 they can be very poor, they can be rich.
 No one can be indifferent to their meaning
 as they are alive and express your feeling.

Ached with attrition and attributed an array afore attaching amends

Our enemies the Philistines
As we were taught in Sunday school
Are extras in the battle lines
To die, as we were born to rule

What lovely racists we’ve become
Programmed to hate our nation’s foes

Can meet...

Inside-Out with all the psycho-babble.
Multifaceted melange - merry and melancholy.

My pen’s prophetic,
authentic,
inadequate.

Hazel eyes that ponder divinity:
See the world.
See God through the world.
See the people.
Empathize with earthly beings.
Fall to my knees.
Seek inspiration.
Grab it with gusto.
Don’t wait...

The beauty of blossoming flower,
exudes from the charismatic core 
of the unfurling buds 
with the fervent fragrance 
of rippling shower of the spring colors,
trails the trellised wings of beguiled butterflies.
Under the enlightening sparkle of cerulean...

A lost monopoly game
Williams fright, bridge, faith
and urban blight, Williamsburg.

Soot gray and brick red
the buildings stand
slumped, shrouded
death in the abundance
of vacant buildings.

Waste strewn sea
of asphalt, concrete, and urban dreams.
Cracks housing cigarette butts
form paper chains at...

ABANDONED

Standing here by the empty dock
Cruise ship sailed, maybe an hour ago
I readily admit that I was a little late 
But I somehow knew it wouldn’t wait
The correct berth the cab didn’t know
And without my...

I have started to loathe everything about me.
My heart seems pale and dull.
My face seems to lose its colour,
very soon all that will remain will be my bones and skull.

My heart is wandering in the...

I am cutting ties
that I knotted to a faraway soil.
Exiled no longer at the tiller
of a long beached fishing boat
that bobs only on the legends
of ancient waves.
Those fluent in soul-breathing,
the Celtic poets, 
those wind-chiming lyricists,
