Symposium
Skinned shins on tree skins,
Space-viewed landscapes of rust and paint
Showing mirrored continents imagined;
Worlds within worlds at every turn,
Outlines of Octopi on Oil slicked streets;
Every post and pole or stone a step:
Sat on,...

Odyssey From Africa 10b
CHAPTER 10b, Hiatus, continued
Till a pebble thrown by Matto
Struck the creature on its forehead
And it hissed in indignation
Slinking off into the darkness
When the morning sun resurfaced
In a spectral ocean sunrise...

Keats Nightingale
Keats’ Nightingale
The romantic poets were too early to postulate total atheism,
And so freshened up the church by aligning god with nature,
And I believe they had a preference for nature over god or theism,
Because they...

Heroic Couplet
She Looked In the Mirror
To: Mandy Jo
She called me her friend. She was one of the few.
She saw in me things that no one else knew.
I was backward and shy, a chess club bore.
I had tape on my glasses....

A Movement
I woke up it was a sunny day
'Come for breakfast' mom would say,
I freshened up, then made my bed
Put away the books that I had read,
Just another day at school
My ride was here, my friends...

The Perilous Years
Those years were freshened years but the sea
Was filled with stomach cramps, and with burning tips
Against the psychosis on essential truthful belly
Vibrating of dying fishes
As they were jumping angry over the sun's rim
as if they...

A Cobalt Ice Capade
Bold navy as dark and pure as the cold frosty night.
Chilled season’s symphony opens with eight notes come what might.
Short blast followed by long note repeated short followed by long.
Thunder has begun it’s familiar fifth...

Cosmic Peace
Cosmic Peace
I have been wondering
Ever since you left us,
What were your thoughts
That early morn?
You were silent
While you lay quietly on bed.
For the past few months
You had learned to
Resign to your fate.
Your wounds...

Dramatic Monologue
Corona Is Over
Heat creeps across unsuspecting December
Screech of insects' pitch is matched to previous years
Mirror humidity shimmer doesn't remember
Last Summer a virus spread, inducing freshened fears
Wuhan's worst nightmare went worldwide, disease severe
Several thousand consecutive...

to her inner self, the most candid reflection of she ;
Her innate behavior

The Wind
A man leaps from a tower's edge
And plummets to the ground.
His eyes are closed; his hands are clean.
He only wants to hear the sound
Of wisdom of the wind.
The seconds slow as he descends.
Floor by floor,...

On the Edge of Death
She looks so peaceful, sleep.
The room is dark, unknown.
Her eyes closed, visions.
The bed is soft, floating.
Her hands empty, alone.
The drugs keep the peace, relief,
Her mind allowed to wonder, confused
The time is slowed, meaningless
Her body at...

Society's Ghosts
The night is cold with all but the stars, to judge and criticize.
My newspaper body cloaked in ink shadows.
My invisible disguise; to all the passersby.
My odour, freshened by the night air, as my shoes with...

Silver Tears
SILVER TEARS
You say that you have long since
turned off all the lights but one,
the light beneath which
I have kissed you
while pearly dew glittered
all around us,
a breeze was blowing,
and the birds were not silent,
but singing at...

Sweet to Die
If in thy love I meet my mortal end, how sweet to die,
Or if thy breath restores my soul, what joy draws nigh.
Thou art an ocean, vast with grace, I but a shell,
If one pure...

The Stoned Wall
The beautiful, stoned wall garden
sunlight and barren but for a single rose.
Gazing at the stem which bore a rose of such beauty
his breath was stolen.
As he stared, the stem dissolved,
and the rose floated...

Lost Love
Should I declare my love for her 40 years hence,
should it remain an eternal suspense ?
does love die and wither with passing time?
does heart’s melody keep its youthful rhyme?
she is mother, wife to another...

Bewitched Lovers
She was haunting the wilderness of Night
With the darkness over her damned Essence.
Suddenly, a roving mortal caught her sight;
She had dark grimace on her countenance.
She ambled towards the forlorn young man,
She stopped as if someone...

Light of fragrance as a sweet rose moves and flows
Flows with sweetness, challenging all...
