that Captain Morgan
couldn't go out
and get himself
some Wild Turkey.
Old Fashioned, like Old Granddad,
Captain Morgan like some of you,
really enjoys his Southern Comfort.
But mostly in the form of...

Under the depths below the deep 
     of this Atlantic Ocean,
live the lobsters that crawl and creep
     with an articulated motion.

They thrive on the ocean’s sea floor,

whast dos' he sing of me
that he samples this as 
love
that they might stop
 to write
and sing this as love

and talked about
to create words
to speak
lesser of
what circumstance
I stand to thee
and sing

The year was 1956
and I distinctly recall 
my mother's lovely face
as she told me

What’s In The Urn

Strangers offered me to join them in a drink

So what could happen in a simple cabin?

Finding that which...

Still I struggle to find the words
As I fight the urge
I'll either go under a tidal surge
Or make it out in the end I might emerge

Fever and Chills

History writes itself
invisible pens find surfaces unknown
private life
public life
fever and chills sleep together
heaving corrosive air
from colorless lungs
hearing but their own moans
their own cries of ecstasy
how loud
how soft

From boardroom
to bedroom
clinging to manufactured essence
flesh bleeds...

As some thoughts about this year's awesome events came to light.

Recalling the year's events made me pause
Yet several "awesome" events gave me cause.

Soldiers in the line of fire,
we're mic for hire,
we're for the cash or die
so all kneel to the poetic sire,

It's the black king from the goddess
plantin' cash seeds in the garden of loot,
It's the moment...

Son stay out the fast lane
It leads to where dreams...

There … 
It was
dark. England, 
set down,  and stretched out 
for miles, 
and days 
without end
Far afield her quondam spirit,
But forever sprawling
Beneath 

Discouraging clouds 
with unbroken tears 
that washed out …
cricket games 
and pigeon...

For this desire
to someday be accommodated,
we shall sit in front of the fire,
lodge chairs at angles akin to talking low,
honey cognac thick,
whispers even thicker,
and you will tell me life.

From the moment your memory begins
you will...

Perhaps the way the universe planned it to be
She discovered me randomly
Crossing her path, overdosed on reality
N now I’m stumbling over fantasies
Of her butterscotch skin n cognac eyes
Stealing my sobriety when she showed me that...

O ! My heart sings the melodies of the crested waves.
Songs of the seaward gale blowing from the north.
