Long Fermentation Poems

In the darkness of the night, 
a ruby gleams 
to contrast a slumbered eye awakened 
to feeling, 
reflection, light, 
Lady "Genie", eyes aglow
like a beast, in mid-stride,
lost in her midnight dreams is clothed in a...

What the ****,
I'll break your neck if you get at me,
tell me now,

A present to presidents and diplomats from the 70’s era,
Memories in the kaleidoscope of...

You have much to celebrate.
Celebrate diversity, the joy of

the center of your Universe. 
Where only...

I’d extend an invitation
to all in the congregation
through this speech of inspiration
which is quite a compilation
yet I expect no adulation
and no gest of adoration
for in my own estimation
it’s a trifle occupation
clearing out the obfuscation
of a...

You brushed your breathing shadow
with sleeping mist you sprayed on your pillows
hoping, for moments gone grey and still,
that the shadow would slumber for you as you pass.

Greys, Part VI

Each day we wake a little changed, 
But the Force that rests Unmoving
At the center of our turbulent souls

Too long, my soul,
Uninvited city noise
And fleeting seconds
Separates us 
Then robs us of moments
To meet through blended rhapsodies
In pure hues of solitude 
And soft shades of serenity
Yet, reassuring arms gather us into
A bright hallowed heaven...

Too long my soul,
Separated by 
Uninvited city noise

Like bright scarlet umber,
Rest like folded hands
When I forget how...
