A dragon spreads it's wings, and fears.
    Breathing fire, his breath bodes death.
    While venom sprays from arrowed tail,
    He'll terrorise with serpents eyes,

It was a crisp day October 27th 1942 
that's when my pop set out for WW11
right after my grandmother Nona
gave birth to my dad orders arrived 
his job assignment was to protect the 
priest arch...

In the beginning God created
In the beginning was the Word 
Word was with God
Word was God
God knew Adam 
God knew Eve
Eve knew the Tree of Knowledge
Eve knew the apple
Apple has a serpent's interest
Apple in Latin...

Valentine butterflies, they are unlike any other butterfly you ever did see.  
Assembled in your soul, they only come out to play when you fall in  
Love.   They flutter free of...

While doves flutter, dying words whisper
Silence becomes haunting and Angels sing
A lone filtering light, a soft glister,
casts a fleeting shadow from dove's wings

As this arrowed light pierces the dusk grey,
on bended knee I pray for...

Vanishing varnish kindly stood the test of
time in sweet and salty impermanence

A boat shed overgrown and faded into
significance of messages and meaning
of rays and days going by and moving on

And nights of course with moon...

       fertile soils near a fig tree and

Innate with a fresh epicranium,
smooth like a marble!
Duration of her absolute head got short-lived
As if her middle name was trouble!
She wish she knew her ingle hue was purple
Too bad, no remembrance since her crown was...

Flourished forrest's beyond outstretched hills,
send trees reaching as felled by hell.

Required life's forces of watered stench...
Drinks fro' the housed waters so foreign and secluded, 
hopefully cleansed and non-polluted.

A darkened sky all barren of hope...
Drives man...

There once was a desperate lonely old man walking through hot desert Sun.
He was completely sand blown and all his garments dangling totally undone.
But he walked as a sharp shooter aimed bowed and arrowed in...

As evening sets in ,I'm thinking of you.

I smell ,then see you.

A voice talks to my heart.

Finally it's time.

He speaks silently and assured.

And I am wrapped in warmth.

Almost time.

I see those eyes.  

Is she...

( dreamed )

Down toward the moon beams and cross the arrowed crows,
Crying in their sun light as the morning magnet glows.
Flying proper diamonds  as everyone now sees
The Yawning bed time storey is falling off...

Do not destroy the  joy of  all we  had
The good need  not be lost when lovers part.
If you need space then take it and be glad.

Because I love you, I shall...

Overlooking
The lake from his cottage deck
Like a captain last to leave his ship
My dad
Discards his cane atop the stairs
Fastens his wobbly hips and knees
Sideways
And to the rickety railing
He Inchworms his wrinkled hands
Across the slivers

Down he...

Love,
The emotion
From eternity to eternity
Touches humans
Giving serenity,
The ones in love
Forever fortuitous
To be singing
Life's glorious song,
A dance of
Tango
Between two
Sublime souls
Lost in the throes
Of immortal love;
Those upon whom
Cupid
Is unkind
And failed to strike
With his magical 
Arrow
Must remain
Sentenced
To a...

Heart, be still.
Your restlessness perturbs the tranquil seas.
Why beat that tumultuous rhythm?
Why reel under this conquering pain?
Why mourn the unbearable loss?
Why weep when pierced with arrowed words?
Why cringe at the stab of dagger looks?
Why pine...

White doves flutter, dying words whisper
Silence ever haunting as Angels Sing
A single beam lights with a soft glister
To cause the shadows from a white dove's wing
This arrowed light pierces the dusky gray
Tethered to Heaven, soul's...

Love’s Ponzi Scheme

I cut it as I told the world of love
carved deep into the bark for all to see
two hearts conjoined with arrowed I love you
the tree roots failed- it’s gone - and so...

(For Prof. Wolfgang Zach)

The kids beheld a bright face
Beaming like an emblem
Of the new photo-sky:
Subliming all our nativity
Sublimating our eagled rites.

His eyes were so sharp
Two fruits of nature!
Two seas of blossoming love:
Twinkling in a raw...

We've taken off the gloves
the "mask"querade continues
a charade of lying eyes
scanning the dance floor
following the "arrowed" steps
viewing a world through fogging glasses
squinting warily at theories
collusion, conspiracy, "coronamania"
Fauci playing Faust
the elderly as pawns
in a political chess...

The girl struggles with her bonds.
A thought races in her head.
Why was I so dumb?
Why can I leave but I choose not to?
All is disturbed by a creaking sound.
A figure stands in the door,
Arrowed tail...

The Gallatin Street Market

The Gallatin Street Market was a secret.
The Gallatin Street bordellos were one too.
Hidden in the shadows of New Orleans,
weathered sign, arrowed finger gave no clue.

SLAVE AUCTION
CHOICE MULATTO MALES AND FEMALES

The market would...
