My Future Self
“looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was
I’m different now, though not without flaws
Each crest becomes a trough, as we move on
God slowly steers soul towards a new dawn” Unseeking Seeker

Rear view mirror
Objects, objectively put, are closer
than they appear. But it doesn’t say it all.
With the fair signs that spewed forth once turning to
a slew of pre-twitter ...

Can words truly capture the essence of the lady on the hill
Whose womb bore eight but yet-
Has mothered countless others?
Whose hands dug deep to till the soil; to stretch outwards to care, to share, to...

COLOURFUL LAMENT
I combed cool waters of your baby blue
crystalline Jewel as you waded waterfall
waves washing my stellar rainbow rays
arching it melted into the warm womb
of transducing tangoing Earth
Her Violet Flame devoured...

Resonance
Earth health-love resonance
is bird song
contrasted to dissonance
of non-ecologos
decaying cars
and non-theomythic truck technologies
of terror
and mismanaged motorcycles
flowing incessantly by.
Optimal resonance lives inside an eco-forested bird sanctuary
before and after a WestWind storming toward East
contrasted to challenged resonance
of living...

The Dolphin
When I am one in two
I hesitate
To let my thoughts withdraw,
For in the safety of that zone
I trust my friend who hears my voice alone.
She may not finish my unsaid words,
Though sometimes...

On Thin Ice
A rag-a-muffin
girl glides uneasy
across the ice,
That Little sprite
child was not there
to play nice.
Frusterated there's
no one there pulling
for her win,
Her competition
as brutal as it's
always been.
Determined if
anything she'll
bring her trophy...

Man-Made, Yet a Human Brain Was Cooked Into Stygian-Hued Glass By Spilling Lava In 79ad
A curve of sky
in a corner cusps a smooth,
thick dusting
of carrot-mauve hues
tonight. Drapes over heather
trees
whose arms
and hands bend with this drowsy sky
as it starts
to fall asleep-
the cyrean "silk" upon
which this...

Tonight Tonight
And so I wake from the sleep of a thousand years
Clawing out from my eyes a desert of dried tears.
And so I scream with a voice that is harsh broken
Repeating the words of the last...

From the Clarinet
Late November,
and lonely resonance of harmattan
salutes this solitude.
A weaverbird's contralto, in one
gale-sweep, lays bare the lower balustrade
of a maisonette,
and the romance of the last seasons
shoots the long throat of the clarinet...
O'classicals, on wings
ye come;

Potestades Virgo Case
only things grown in the ground remain
but mismatched without the hand of man

their languishing longitudinal vegetable bodies
never suffer fracture the stems with fruits

Shapes
Ellipse, evolute, vertex and curve,
Humdrum circle or ricochet swerve
Astroids or cusps, arcs or sectors;
What have those got to do with vectors?
Curvature, cone, Cartesian plane…
Oval, deltoid… what’s in a name?
Geoid oscillation, pedal, radial, rose…
What on earth...

Fairy Tale Told Yesterday
Still holding onto
the remnant remains,
the promise of love unforgotten,
as they unfurl untold in her heart,
within her soul,
she holds it tightly as if sewn between her longing cusps,
the slowly un-aging embers of yester-years,
the pains left forlorn,...

''NFC'' Our Natural State

Found In Peace
Delicate love, on the tips of ice cycles
Dripping down on the earth of spring
Delicate green sprouts on the edge of life

Beyond the simple minds of men
There is a place we...

Tan Gentle Lines
She lies, tan gentle lines and curves so sharp
she pairs her heart horizontal to zero
Her body falling from great cusps above
Then deriving great pleasure from the angle
Skirting the limits, fleecing the boundaries
She breaks the...

In blanket shades of ash and grey, while the lights are out

Arms That Are Empty
Again now at cusps of fresh beginnings,
Gathering supplies to travel this road,
Careful to measure what two arms will hold,
Gauging with patience the estimate flows,
Thoughtful precision utmost in the mind,
Come to the doorway laden with purchase,
Advancing...

Her Bone White Hands
Nuptials wrung from ingratiated hand
Purloined hope dripping from each strand
Pristine fibers with leased value you did brand
Quilted folds of ivory now your treasured contraband
Bleached residual your selfish honor did demand
With sinewy clutches my graceful cusps...

Portal To the Sky
You in focus, world a blur
My eyes trapped in deep allure
Racing heart and soul endure
Caging love in self demure
You are a king as you appear
Hair cusps at your ears;
Hanging crowns.
As shooting stars drag my dreams
