Long Foreseeable future Poems

The next event to be held for Joulupukki was the coronation, which followed closely behind his parent's burial.  He was very wary of what he would say at this event. Virtually every elf on...

Ours was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical, 
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.

He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for...

I have heard almost nothing about New Year Resolutions
this pandemic year;

Although personal sound waves are filled
replete with incomplete invitations
to take better health care
of personal
and social
and economic
and democratic
and public
and green climate nonviolent communication
wealth optimization

As we move...

Economically comfortable civilians,
without militarized propaganda indoctrination,
without physical neglect or abuse experience,
without religious blame and shame intimidation,
may sustainably recognize themselves as safe,
while stressed about why they do not matter,
do not feel needed
or even uniquely loved and...

I have occasionally wondered what is so controversial about the World Bank.
I understand protesters travel from all around Earth
to wave placards outside World Bank meetings
and I wonder why they are so riled up.

After all,
it's our...

Northside of Chi-Town is full of emotion.
In the ‘45 Series Cubs and Tigers are battling.
Sianis buys two tickets to show his devotion.
Is booted ‘cause his billy goat won’t stop bahbling.
He curses the Cubbies and causes...

Mute
but immutable.
Unmoving, unmoveable;
timeless, yet tireless.
Solitary stalwart sentinel
surveils undulating horizon.

Aberrant, achromatic clouds
pock-mark the skies, as distant
rumblings herald his adversary's
latest gambit in their age-old conflict.

The wrath of a thousand crashing,
clashing, thrashing fists batter
against the beleaguered sentry.
Ceaselessly, remorselessly,
the...

Bathe beneath a monochrome
light

Be that sun , rainbow or moon
light

And place yourself front and
centre preferably in the very middle

For the sole purpose of securing 

Some form of hope for your foreseeable future

And reeducate your ears...

Lift me up a little higher so I can see the light
Above the fray of doom and gloom down here,
Desperately I need this boost to ease my plight
I’m afraid I am drowning in this pointless...

Hello Palestine, 
have you seen the headlines today:
400 US federal workers tendered their resignation over the war, seeking ceasefire.  And a Vietnam war veteran donated his pension to Palestine relief fund. Also at Brandeis...

In my foamy bubble there 's ample room for
free-floating and even, once in a while, submerging for a while
beneath the surface, where the wild things are and disturb
tranquility.
And when I free-float my head spins in...

If i die before i wake

I pray the waves my soul to take

To the bottom of the deepest sea

So i may feel as weightless as
a butterfly in open sea

Underneath and navigating
the stars by moonlight

As and...

Supine
the storm blows
and blows

STRENGTH and VERVE

STRENGTH and VERVE

until it's final exit

we exhale and we watch

rainbows erupt
brushing the backdrop red
jade hints her place amid the blushing blue
dazzling a loving 
peaceful sky

the fox just happens by
run fox...

My friends on P-Soup are loyal and true

Every morning I rush to my computer

To read all their happy upbeat comments

And suddenly the sun breaks through the clouds

At times, I must admit I have thought of...

Oceans remain wet and salty through Tuesday
Clouds roll in with muffin configurations 
Comic skies remain outside
Desert tsunamis turn calm, take a left on Wednesday
Partly sunny skies expected but not predicted
Early afternoon hours will see clearly

Things can be important. Trivial in attributes but bearing the full potential of posing an existential question. These are implicit in manner but highly stressed to push further, push for more. We can only try...

Not sure how much more my mind can take, twisting and bending
in ways I don't think a mind should go.  
voices always screaming, yelling, argueing with my conscience
never taking time to breathe.
The headaches get...

So you think that trolls and dragons
Are definitely not for real
You surely haven't talked with Carol lately
It's more than just a feel

They eat her food and occupy her house
Sometimes hide Mike's pyjamas
And we all know...

Sometimes I just feel 
I want to be single 
for the rest of my life
because of how many
times my heart has been broken 

At other times I feel so lonely 
I wish I had someone...

the news resounded
through the land
everything coming 
abruptly to a halt
no gatherings and no exceptions
it’s most regrettable
to give in to this lull
there’s never good timing
it is with much dismay
 that poetry 2020 olympics
till further notice are...

Our world of innocence is caught unaware,
Taunted by a nightmare,
An experiment gone wrong; a distorted sculpture,
We're locked inside for the foreseeable future.

We wait for that day of relief,
Citizens get themselves into a psychotic state.

No Love No Hope


My heart and soul are wistful
It is God's love I wish for.
If His grace and mercy were withdrawn,
All my hopes and dreams would be gone.
Without my faith to sustain me, 
it is...

Small like a bird
Smart like a nerd
Shining like a beacon
Special like a penguin
Oh! She is sensational
She is humble, universal
And absolutely lyrical
Now everybody knows her name
Like Mona Lisa and Mother Nature
She now has fortune and fame
Oh!...
