Long Afterword Poems

Tina-Louise dashed into a tattoo parlor   
And asked for some ink in the shape of a flower.       
Much below the knees so my mom doesn’t holler;

REQUIEM-A STRUCTURED PROSE
Nothing moves,silence, echos of
voices,the past awakes!Faces 
appear,then depart!A tear trickles
slowly,the music plays,faintly.
Emotion erupt,again!
Regret whispers,in pain!


MEMORIES-A STRUCTURED PROSE
Memories surface,a requiem of
sounds,heaving emotions realign,
words recalled speak volume from
deep within , and live again on a...

The conquers will burn their books
Why am I the one in flames?

Now that time is past
(I’ve suffered for...

HAIKU MOMENT 8


Stray cool breeze
Plants a calm ease;
Heat wave reprieve

~~~~~~~~~


So many laps
Round and round;
Brisk walking spree

~~~~~~~~~


Weary worry
Spreads load heavy;
Too much tension

~~~~~~~~~

Marks worthwhile cheer;
Light moments ease

~~~~~~~~~


Mall excursion
Goodies galore;
Tempting bargains

~~~~~~~~~


Curious wonder
History unfolds;
Vanity confronts

~~~~~~~~~


Curious eyes...

she has stars for eyebrows
her phonetic smile says so much more
tightly wrapped in the grey gaunt gauze of daylight
eyes still closed
i wait arms breadth away for her
to breath
to open
while mind touches upon her journey
while pieces...
