PARK AVENUE

I came across Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida
many years ago, where I flew for my work to examine
a company for following its claims handling process,
procedures and the insurance laws and regulations.

While having lunch...

If you sit tight, and promise not to spite
I will tell you a story, when I was not in my glory
grade one, a new chapter
who knew my teacher would be a captor?
that’s right! I said...

.........The Belly Dancer.........

Stood beside her teacher on the stage.
Young, brunette. Hip hugger magenta 
jeans and a short bandana shoulder 
less top...
Her young heart leapt with dreams of 
dancing fame.
Shoes were forbidden, just her
beautiful feet showed.
And...

These nights are solid gold
illuminated with the essence of word
Chinese faces and African soul
So many truths go untold
Lies will always charge a toll

So does temptation burn in you
Are Do you live a lie with no...

This recently happened to me.
I didn’t recover very well from it. 
I just sat there
naked, 
embarrassed, 
while 
while my partner got dressed 
and walked out on me.

She was shaking her head 
in disbelief on the...

Morning dew dripping from my eyelids
doors banging at the center of my heart
as the symphony gets ready to start.
the flute begins with a champion song
while the listless crowd jeers merrily along.
brass, rhythm and base

It had been locked 
for longer than I want to remember
Firmly locked no spy hole
No keyhole
Nothing 
to give away its secrets.

I had forgotten about it
It was designed so that it wasn't like a door
Just part...

The Belly Dancer

Learned private lessons in a club
in Chicago's Greek Town.
Her teacher told her,the bigger the
dancer....the more beautiful.
Being thin was no attribute to see
that skin roll!
When she finally saw a woman of girth
dance, it was...

I Put My Faith In Christ!   Not Men!


I don’t need to “google,” to know what I believe in!
I put my faith in Christ…  
The day I received him!

I don’t need to find...

There was a party tonight 
here in the park where I live;
a three piece band played 
mostly oldies from the fifties. 
Some couples danced 
and that was fun to watch. 

I even got up and...

I walked in and found a chair,
And sat down and saw you there;
The light was shining, the light was low,
The candle flickered soft and slow.

The lonely music filled the night,
I felt right then my heart...

The Joys of Bathing a Dog

Procrastination has run its course;
Annie needs a bath!
Her lovely long fur is gray not snow;
Annie needs a bath!

First I check the water temp,
Just like you do for a baby;
She knows...

An Invite


Now son, I think you’re sneaky,
not just lying for my good.
Your cover-up was cheeky,
I’m not blind or wear a hood.

A nursing home’s not for me
nor assisted-living room,
I’m keeping my own money
and that place is...

She moves like the wind,
fluid and free,
moves like a belly dancer,
every moment is a joy for me.
the ribbons trail in the air,
leaving behind a coloured pattern,
flowing like her hair.
The fire glows and sparks,
illuminating her like...

There's a mole in the middle of my belly
That gives me bilateral symmetry

For a belly dancer it might prove entertaining
Though that’s not my thing, I’m not complaining

Not a “new age” mole, this one’s a lifer
And...

Zambia alone could not give her love
This woman that courts Zimbabwe too
Mellow like a belly dancer
Her soft form moving 'round her summer pole
Do not play with her heart
Her passion is like a cataract raging white

THE BELLY DANCER

The sparkling dazzle of those chandeliers , -
Transformed the night into an endless day !
And underneath its ignited glow ,
The belly dancer's hips moved to-and-fro !
With her semi-veiled face and mesmerizing eyes ,
And...

Abstracted eyes study plasmid menus.
A rattle of gleams
stirs coffee in a Montmartre café.
A Cairo belly dancer glistens
in her cocoon of sequined waves,
wine glasses tinkle, while eyes speak.
An old Catalan hotel,
meals shared with a guitar playing...

Poets love people
People love poets
Everyone is a poet
Even if they don't know it.

You just have to string some words together
That rhyme
Any topic will do
Just write what's on your mind.

Everyone should...

WAKE

Barefoot belly dancer of lucid waking
Feel the breath of the morning star
Satin curves deliciously placating
My will is tired I’ve gone too far

Native bird song of placid beauty
Server the servants from open sky
Palm outstretched she says...
