Not too many decades out of college
I finally landed my first full-time job,
as a White House speech writer.

I know,

I would not start at the top
and then claw
and grab
and snatch my way to the...

In the blinded moments,
Before the mist rises over the tumbling surf…
Blueness tempting awake my dreams,
A heartbeat from the flaming blaze,
Sunshine pouring through the clusters of 
Feathery clouds, like the breath of peace
Aroused from the falling...

Is there room to care for the penultimate?
Can't decide if the space can satisfy two collard greens.  
One oblivious cabbage... one who has desperately tried to expand the space, to save the others, who...

She’s out there chasing a cricket

Through bush, through shrub & through thicket

Together they hop

Fugitive, cop

But when she gets it, she just wants to lick it!
 

A cat whose vet took his eye

Just cannot quite understand...

Your walk away into the echoing stillness
Of a crimson autumn sunset
Gently stepping over the leaf-strewn forest floor
As withered leaves under your feet
Bid you soft and gentle adieu.

The wild blossoms by your wayside smile
And lend you...

in a garden with flowers thriving
In an old back yard I played in a mystical mood
In the dream I dreamed I was near an old house

I glimpse the tidal waves, rise high,
Sweaty brows drip, a dry.
surf boarders and  dipper are so many,
dolphin rides touts coerce you for just a few penny.

red vested lifeguards always on their toes,
A breath of...

As I sit at my table
Overlooking the sea
I try not to look for its unforgiving blueness
it is too much for my heart.
My heart which is once again, empty.

Loss has followed my heels 
for many years...

"Inhaling the sea --  Lovers in the lap of 
nature"

Inhaling the sea,
She primed my heart!!

Early morning going onto the sea bed,
My chubby cheeks blushed in red.

A moment on the Cyber Café at Fewa Lake
				
1.
In the Mug of the Fewa Lake
Reflecting the pure blueness of the sky
With the fluttering of the Fishtail
My eyes sparkle with 
The taste of organic coffee
That chills...

Oh no!
When a boat departs from the bay,
Floating on the white flowers of the sea foam,
When a tiny bit of the Moon wanders across the oceans,
All coloured in the ash of clouds,
Not even then the...

In the desert of my compassion
holds two tender seeds growing fervently;
both longing for the blueness of my tears,
which possess a certain kind of purity.

---who's teaching whom
our Tomorrows yet-in-bloom--

Teach me of your ways, Little Ones,
for I...

In my imagination,
My vision encapsulates
Dusk’s parting darkness,
 and silver clouds appearing between,
 dull twinkling stars.
As night melts to early February morn,
the moon lies half hidden in the dormant skies.

As the morning moon shines,

AT THE BEYOND 

It is here at the point
Where no life exists
Where shadows lurk
Life is made
While Creation does nothing
But watch itself in
A hole that never ends

Ether dances and joke at
The beginnings of dust 
As we...

My left foot in pain
I stumble to the window

Alone climbed this hill,
Watching so still.

I overcame fears,
Of all I held of yesteryears…..

But up on this height,
A majestic sight……..
Cloud flooded  skies,

A deep breath within me dries….

Tranquility!!! I feel you near,
Oh I could sail in...

I must not end this story
with a happy ending as many
stories that are written for money;
I have come to the conclusion
that I must not end this story
and enhance it with allusion!
My story began two summers...

one will find so much diversity in facts alone, 
and I admire the marvelous planets

which is so splendidly refulgent 
under these unpredictable skies; ...
