"Now when we showed up...
There it was, a professional set...
A huge Hammond B-3 Organ..
(King of all Organs..same as used
by Santana at Woodstock, etc....)
500 pounds of growling power...
Something I'd never seen up close...
With huge spinning Leslie...

big plans to relocate self and spouse
to some tropical island paradise

Multihued lights flash fervently,
On naked illusion draped eyes zealously,
All shut and secured to colored vision,
Egoist blurry brain images, these are all in an intangible prison.

Some call me quirk, some foible, but all refer me to...

I simply stumbled when I saw I fumbled;
With my strength I struggled to come over the trouble
But I end up building up more tackles.
I've said, '...well...with my knowledge.., though little.'
Diverting the people's attention from God's...

Shirring quirks

There is a hollow in my complex poet’s soul
ambivalence and contradictions a vagary maybe
a vagrant’s search for meaning roots expression

Villain Unmasked


In odd places the Villain appears,
In the right places he disappears-
On merry moments then re-appears.

For, such is the habit of a Villain
Who enjoys to inflict carnal pain
Yet, scarce and elusive to be slain.

He contorts...

If my love were to be frozen in time
would its enamored glow forever remain
as poetry in a book, Sonnets written in rhyme?
If in flakes of snow, my heart was encased
would my affection wax and never...

Through pickets they can see me, but I never allow them to touch

Life is an expedition of lessons,
made possible by Love’s potential,
the physical dimensions of which are it’s manifestations,
the brilliant light particles of it’s self,

The story of his pomposity
The gaiety of a been-to 
Embroidered in revenge.

Tunde Canada! 
Timid and denied by folks and friends
In his prime when the springboard, the hemisphere
At the time when chicks announce their appearance.
His ordeal...

Looking back helplessly 
at every foible like Epimetheus. 
Born like a weed in the steamy morning,
I was an aimless crude creature spinning
flamboyant cobwebs like a confident fool.
I slathered prismatic patterns, grinning like a jester.

If I can tell
what's on my mind,
And tell it just
the way I feel:
That you are gentle and kind,
Or are morally blind,
Oh well...
Won't it be easy and swell?

If I can speak then
straight from my heart,
And say,...

The one who thinks high, who never speaks a lie,
The one whose behavior is ethereal, who is loved...

Oh hail the common man!
He’s something of a novelty.
Never has he asked for much.

Then pinned upon a line to dry.
From rural soil his children...

Where is my companion of those calmer days of motherhood
When I finally had the rhythm down enough
And could enjoy the magic of the world
 through toddler eyes
And the...
