Long Endears Poems

This foggy sky
darkly and relentlessly rains
especially for an early May morning.

He is not prepared for darkness
seeping through new-born leaves,
not yet full grown into this year's trunk-lacing dress,
soaking up from saturated soil,
slurping into his compassionately 
empathic...

You know the feeling
A deep kind of knowing
A true feel of being
A certain kind showing


Knowing can now tease
A flamboyant life lease
A panache of taut ease
A flavour of plush peace

February dusk descends
Upon Orchard Road;
My walking attends
As feet bear clear loads.


Bright and breezy moods
In crowded walkways;
Casual tour feels good
As curious sights sway.


A sea of faces
In brisk momentum;
Each going places,
Motion feeds quantum.


History lives here
In ample shopping;

By night pain comes on cue

The raw delight and 
wonder of an eager 
child-poet lay scattered 
across the floor.  

A baby's coo squeals from 
the aging pages babbling
forth childish nonsense while
tired cliches wind lazily through
trite rhymes lacking lyrical luster.

became a famous comic years ago.
When he was young, he made no detailed plans
to rise to wealth and fame. How could he know
he’d someday make the nation laugh and clap?

Words in stern cryptic code
Rouse odd map of strange mode
Ink piques dense mother lode


Taste deep allusions here
Ere exile feel endears
Reap sad touch that chokes cheer

rain reflects the tears I’ve cried,
memories who’ve fought and died,
as this world continues in its pride,
forever unaware, will I always hide,
secrets who I’ll one day confide…

rain echoes the dew of the dawn,
after the night has...

With Her breath enhancing the coolness of the air
While colorful leaves are turning the trees
Wildlife looking to burrow in pairs
Or preparing to flee to a warmer breeze.

Getting darker with the day's end sooner
Scurrying to grasp...

In journey quest;

As joy unfolds.

Ushers bold schemes;
A brand new year
Comes now with cheer.


A lovely truth

Challenges of earth life drives us to tears
We set goals but horizon disappears

Clumsy knock about clown endears
Bubble blown, unicycling, tightrope dance 
Underneath charisma, after the cheers
Grinning sinister inkling stirs up fears
Guise causes unnerved scare's enhance

Aside from a smattering of film features
What strikes terror of tumbling funny fool?...

As action tells
The finds that show
As fruit compels.


Start with ideas
That come to you
To live bold cheer
In acts that cue.

With plan that works
To fashion life
In fling and jerk.


Be without fear
