the mourning moon
croons caramelized deceit,
like toffee-speckled leaves,
whistling bewitching myths,
seducing silenced silhouettes,
engrossed in tangerine temptations,
and mundane...

Enchanting - PrologueShe smiled at him, from a distance.
Imagination, betraying trust.
Mesmerized; he moved towards her.
His heart was racing, his mind.
Looked liked she landed from heaven.
Wearing a yellow skirt, red tops.
And a laced white jacket over her,
Perfect bosom
Her...

The Wood CarverI am a wood carver by instinct and intuition;
I am not a wood carver by trade or profession.

On the CatwalkIn numerous locales countrywide, they hold sway
Pirouetting at intervals like ballerinas from Bolshoi
Beauteous, feline and very feminine
Slender to the point of emaciation, not quite
Cultivating the undernourished look on a frugal diet
Decidedly austere for a longer...

That Was Then, This Is Now
That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life.
When the fervent flight was friendly
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless
near and far like a...

Stubborn Words (Sestina)My pregnant psyche labors over words
and somber fetuses embalmed in ink.
A restless scribble knots my burdened nerves
with these encrypted ciphers I can't grasp.

My prying, inquisition probes...

A solitary crow on stilted tree was perched
An ugly black bird with beady eyes that searched
For carrion across the shady contoured scape
Where glimpsed a bent and shadowy shape
