Long Connoisseurs Poems

Out in that sky, no one sleeps, not even the stars.

We are at the 24-hour late-nite diner

and they’re serving up fruit

from the plants growing out of the floor.

We watch bodies fall to the ground outside

Aye, what a revolution in red and orange against the
venom of society and culture
With the flowers of right palm though a gesture of dance
in fact covers her tears
A story of blue tension and deep emotion...

Monet's Impression, Sunrise

First impressions leave memories
That can linger for a very long time;
And give a sense of peace and understanding,
That rewards the solitude of the mind
With satisfaction, in contemplative reflection.
This may be deceiving and can...

In times of trouble it outshines its glow 
The supposed intrinsic value of its allure
Is a safe house in times of economic un-certainty
When money is being made but not through 
Traditional means 

The historian would...

Strewn on the shoreline, as I walk along the beach
Bits and pieces of life forms, churned up from beneath
Shells, jellyfish, crustaceans, even sea anemones
What was alive yesterday, lays shredded in the weeds

Hard to fathom what...

Not a person to marry what gets in my way,
Life's more balance and freedom than 'roll in the hay!'
Ice cream melts, steak is great but to my taste gets cold
Though my dinner's not done. Truth...

Cage the rage you envisage
At the slightest intervention
Your mood swing fails to assuage
When folly in full bloom springs into action 

To boost the small ego that looms large
In response to the uncontrolled wrath
Your short fuse...

All music is relational
Even if the instrument itself is unconscious: 
Like tree leaves in a breeze
Telegraph their praise in God's presence,
Dot and dash an earthy hymn;
Like an earthquake whose rumblings
Remind you that in geological time

Ooey, gooey, give me choc-o-lot!
If I must, I'll take it liquid hot,
But "wicked" like they fix it in Madrid,
Thick as porridge, satin sunburnt sweet.
(Not like here: sugar,milk and cocoa, mix and heat). 
Give me some...

Apprentice at Grief
I stoop to grief when reasons fail
And tell him that tomorrow
We must begin to sort out our delirium.
“Hopes get lean and die,” I say,
“So, we must nourish them with tears.”
Pry the locked jaws...

(8/17/12)

Always looking at the clock, wondering about the hour
Never stopping to smell the flowers.
There was a time that life was at a slower pace
Now it seems we’re always in a race.

The one thing that I...

Sitting on the beach of “Puri” beholden at the setting sun

 Million years since depicting the milieu...

PLAYING THE GAME Of  POKER 

At the table,

Can an  earthquake judge its own tears 
of fury and frustration
Can a sunlight assess  the black stains on a rose,

I Dream, Afraid

I dream of a cottage garden in the midst of a wooded land,

I hear the admiring crowd
As it stands and looks at me,
All connoisseurs clearly proud
Of what I'm supposed to be.

What fine art it surely is,
The strokes of a Master sure,
An Iconic masterpiece,
Modern Art that's very pure.
