Long Fleeted Poems

As the ‘tick-tock’ sound falls in my ears, and its incessant refrain drops like a thud,
My memory unwinds to years fled when we grew up under our parental roof.

Plodding miles through country lanes, with the...

Ere some three or four-odd days
Began our nature show some craze.
The people, truly afraid, to say,
Nowhere did find a place to stay.

The initial portension was a fire,
That left a pile of ashes and mire,
But no...

(Walking Seven Steps)

Catching the last shot of the sunset sky
Even more rustier than before
Delayed my departure.
I asked my friends to go ahead 
And I would catch up with them, but
The perfect shot took longer than...

Plucked flower once clumsily graced a girl's curls,
Now crushed in the wake of her ascending swirls,
Comfort be gone as bees hold dust for another,
Swarms of butterfly's doth aimlessly hover,

AT THE CORNER IN ANNECY

You said you saw bullfinches; as that morning came too quickly,
on that cobbled corner in Annecy, where the beautiful remnants of last night’s voices were left cold amongst the spilt wasted...

Black clouds bury the blue skies of Bama overhead
as monstrous winds wipe out towns of southern plain.
From historic antebellum it left a path of dead
in the midst of hail and drenching down-pouring rain.

Ten hours of...

Once,
I saw rainbows 
Across the tear washed sky,
Their iridescent gleam 
Slanting down on the waters below,
Buds burgeoning on every branch,
Flowers opening their delicate folds,
And summer bees spiraling around
Gathering nectar for frosty days.

All in partial haze….

Plucked flower once clumsily graced a girls curls,
Now crushed in the wake of her ascending swirls,
Comfort be gone as bees holds dust for another,
Swarms of butterfly's doth aimlessly hover,
Yes, it was a bothersome thing,
It will...

Sudden was the descent of poetry on me
I tottered under its weight
My body heated up like the sun
A frying egg yolk on the pan
My blood started burning…. burning
A strange madness crept across my senses
Intoxicated as...

Once, 
I saw rainbows, 
across the tear washed sky. 
Their iridescent gleam
illumining the astral realm 
and spilling down into the waters below. 
Buds burgeoning on every branch, 
Flowers opening their delicate folds, 
and summer bees...

In the still of this young night, here in the dark I lounge alright..
Low down in this executive chair, my legs are parked on the table high in the air..

The chair is well laid back...

Fleet away!

We fleeted the time carelessly
We fleeted the time carelessly 

I had a long wait,
A fretful heart and a dance troupe.
And I sauntered into the room.
For a fleeting moment,
I saw the face of a boy.

Poor unfortunate soul
Now an empty shell
Hollowed eyes 
Void of life.

Your world has crumbled
Your a mess in rags
Can't see straight
Through the fog of despair.

You see no colors
Just black and white
There is no joy
Happiness has fleeted.

Wandering aimlessly
As...

If I let my heart be broken by a stranger
Is it impossible to believe
Or if loving at the first of sights
Not embarrassingly naive
Or if I claimed to know of true intentions
From a flurried passing gaze
Or...

Wind to wing does span the heavens, 
Eagles heart to heights abound,
Soar me there with beats of angels,
Born in eyrie's forest found,

Eyes then focus to the freedom,
Lakes and land as patchwork quilt,
Clouds do pillow circles...

Endless is life's array of decadent sweets
Chosen only to partake a portion of treats

Ever aware of the fleeted glances my way
Ashamed by my ecstasy and willingness to fray

Storms within beg to jump into seas of...
