WOMEN ...

Truly amaze me ... they possess the super-human

To speak no more, and yet away it went

Made us to turn our eyes to top...

Oceans and Winds

I have an obsequious unnatural inclination
To sustain my external compulsions 
And convert them to a pre-text of a sub-text
Of instantaneous conclusions

Born into a world with only one hand to hold
Delivered by eyes impassive to his existence

While no strength held him high.
The yearning in his eyes hollowed with...

flying like a throatful soul escaping 
from somewhere deep within,
soaring out the cavern measureless to man,

Beautiful by day but a shapeshifting demon in...

There is only one inborn error,
And that is the idea that we exist to be happy...

And even become confirmed in it through optimistic dogmas,
The world seems full...

There are three sides that form every triangle
and not always are they of the same equal proportion.
There can also be three sides of many a story told,
and stitched with tenuous threads that loosely dangle.
Each strand...

Sylvia's Double Life
She bustles
her boys out of bed
grouse, groan, growl
groggy gripes
snarky snipes, as they squabble

outdoors, scuffing floors

She sighs, so
relieved, can't...
