When we met, I surely knew the yearning
Breathlessness erasing my weariness
Feelings, dreams, soothing every discerning
You silence doubts, discourage dreariness
Deep inside, I long for your spirit’s smile
I feel so thankful for this song of grace
Past all...

                  In the quiet whispers of dreams,
I dance with shadow's ebonescence,
as photonic particle - collider, 
photosynthesis derider, 
unveiling...

music notes used to dance for me 
when I played the ivory keys
little birds flying high 
bringing back pieces of the great blue sky 
now they muddle at my feet 
I’m drowning in puddles of...

You never see his name anymore, but believe me he's still here.
He open's the soups' door, making it possible for me to write beyond this 
atmosphere.
He makes it possible to enter these contests, for it...

in the fetal hours of the morning,
when insomnia laces my eyeballs with crimson gauze
and my bones disintegrate to chalk -
when the heart plays cat-and-mouse with the mind,
and my sledgehammer blood throbs dully in my veins...
You...

In a glowing, fearless and inspired articulation
of those fingers in the piano that provide brilliance;
It’s a piece of music, incisive with exceptional signs
so profound and rhapsodic in the entire performance.

I feel like being redeemed as...

It feels like a baseball to the face
Or like alcohol on a bad scrape
Shocking and completely out of place
Making way for a hurried escape

Death does not whisper or whine with pain
It clings to the heart...

I hear grand piano music floating in from afar
It is poetry so crisp, It's crystal clear

Poetry is chandeliers on high ceiling of white
It is polished parquet in spaces with soft light

Poetry is grand plies performed...

THE GALLERY


Another day goes by, outside influence on the outcome
Tearing the heartstring in two
And in my mind, strange topics pop up again
Without your love in my life
I don’t know what I would do…

On the home...

They come uninvited with no gifts in hand
the strangest assortment of guests in the land.

First is the stray kitty, who won’t let me pet him.
He pulled at my heartstring, the first time I met him.

Next...

Would you tell me of this fling
 how many games do you play
 this tete-a-tete of cat and mouse display
taunting and teasing every heartstring?

It's a wash set out on the clothesline to dry
 fastidious blown...

One way to celebrate as a family
begins with everyone’s availability;
a reality to fulfill, a joy to keep
that enables one to take part
and be present with everybody.

It’s interesting to see and 
be part of their identity,

Await the zenith of the sun,
cross clay courtyard a beckoning
barefoot walked, heartstring undone,
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.

Soundless clarion of tears fall
toward absolution’s bright blessing,
within the domed sabil I call...
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.

How people across the globe travel in droves
like in springtime, a wonderful time for everyone;
as this year holds so many promises to fulfill
with countless chances and opportunities as well.

Families and personal affinities both young and...

I’ll be your forgotten lure, spun on ice and left to dry
Holding you light, to life’s complexion
Fair as a rose and faithful as the moon

Let me sway your heartstring, caress your chemistry
And I will whistle...

The Quiet Heart   

Life with all of its storms
Keeps my heart always in reform 
The sadness of a loss
Fills my aching heart with a criss cross
Knowing, I will see them once again
My failures...

Digging up buried bones of the past,
formaldehyde memories ... crypt debris
Re-examining works long dead,
suspicions placed once again
under the microscope

Detect an exhumed lie,
skeletal remains 
of a premature buried alibi

Neurotic twisted logic 
Myelin tears fill the missing...

You perch on a low stool
of my presence unmindful, 
guitar cradled on your lap,
fingers each string loving.

While you delicately pluck, 
mesmerizing, hypnotizing,
with slow, flowing arpeggio,
my heartstring you touch.

Who are you to affect me so, 
just...

Bashful boyish laughter 
Vibrates through the house
Changing mindset after
Thing wee as a mouse

Playful daring darling
Boundless energy
Eager fearless heartstring
Trumping apogee

Pumpkin eating cupcake
Charming as can be
Promise future heartache
This we can agree

Happy joyful bundle
Fills our lives with love
Candid...

Goes a white doe, faint glimpse a wondering.
Rare diaphanous prismatic heartstring,
astir, the bestilled buds wake an ocean.
Nascent feels Aurora's palm in motion,
iridescence and redolence yon oaths,
divine dulcet elysian her outgrowths.
Moon/Star burrowing framing an archway,
You can...

In here I can be anything
that you desire,
your lonely soul, your heartstring
even become your ring your locket,
I can evolve to become
your strange universe
one to mould to create.
In here I can become your salvation
