Barack Hussein belated kudos
what with his wizardesses 
in tow wrought wonders 
to one nation analogous 
while an under dog

Laughing Atmospheres




It floats in the morning dew
Settles with diamonds
On cobwebs who
Catch dreams on their threads

The sensual quiet of dawn
Imbues
The grass blades are whispering
To the sifted chanting
Of being One

In a glittering pool
The sea
Dances every possibility
Day bright...

Failure to come to a Complete Stop

Auto battery. 
Clicking.
Depleted energy.
Feeling grumpy, harried, 
Impatiently jump-start Kia.
Leave Mom’s neighborhood.
Octagonal, purely quintessential red sign taunts. 
Upping velocity, willfulness exacerbated, you zoom…

Yikes!

Extraneous white vehicle (undercover)...

I find solace in the sighs of you,
as winking stars gossip of length of purpose, 
and width of possibilities that
challenge us-
as one of love's melodies beginning 
to surface-...

Darkness surrounds me, completely shrouded, 
Thinking and movements totally clouded
Try to run but my legs go weak

Water’s destination is everywhere
ever flowing, rolling, tripping skipping
water never stops its touring.
A source of life forever enduring
challenges of leaps across endless
terrain, rocks and stones it hones
to a silk finish, a natural polish
that leaves no blemish.

Poets paint pictures
with a witty brush and a pallet of expressive words.
Drawing emotions, they color outside the lines
and scribble thoughts onto the page.
A wordsmith's craft imbues the poet
with the ability to let the reader feel,...

A gaping heart engulfing all it seeks.

A mind subverted by its own critiques.

Of his true nature.
He imbues a warm and inviting
Personality that shines
As bright as...

I am faceless

Tattered by actuality

Heart thrumming in my ears

Blind to prospects

Voiceless ... soundless


Yet I scream, mute

Face to the sky, I wail like a fiend

Hailing the heavens like a forsaken angel

Above, the sucking expanse

A mocking roar...

A constant play of exquisite transition
Lofting tribute with flawless composition
Unerring to the senses embellished serene

And falls like torrents from Neptune's cloud
Transcending its...
