Beyond the mourning of bereavement

Today marks fourth anniversary of tragic deaths
an aching breaking heart – mine
remembers four extinguished breaths.

in a white horse open sleigh,
but upon learning untimely demise 
regarding prosperous...

Four legs quiver
like clumsy cabrioles
striking smooth gray rivers
of zig-zag sidewalk barrios
in rhythm with happy shivers
syncopated on a muffled drum
as we talk and stroll

On our way
hand-in-hand
we persuade and pretend
this day away
taunting and cajoling to demand
laughing “hide...

regarding prosperous family, whose small 
plane crashed. about half dozen years ago, 
they lived ~ three doors down from us.) 

No words can assuage the deep sorrow,
this once upon...

You, the watercolor of my dreams and codex of mystery,
You draw the cosmic shiver towards me, disturbing my peace;
You offer a dance of stellar swarms hidden in earthly forms,
You possess sublime gifts, courage, weaving genealogies...

Our hearts are like the ocean..
With depths some just can't reach.
They gaze upon the surface..
And stand upon its beach.

They take in the horizon..
Where the water meets the air..
And ponder on its vastness..
As the wind blows...

I raced to the hand of beneficial friendships,
pledged myself to artful reasoning
and aspired to harness
freights of honor.

I took long drafts of audacity
and impetuously ingested
every molecule of opportunity
while the road was wealthy
and the track fertile with
smooth...

A story having origins in Greek Mythology
dealt with a mortal woman having curiosity.
To avenge Prometheus for his wrongful theft of fire,
the gods sent a strange box for Pandora to acquire.
The box displayed instructions not to...

I awake beneath the sink of sky,
the patter of raindrops collapsing 
against the breezeway of acrid dreams.
The light of the refrigerator blinks
against torrid eyes, shining impetuously
on the last can of Taurine's gestation.
I grab hold of...

There is no explaining it
how my hands in finger joints 
in loose expectation to elbow and shoulder
crave and ponder
the empty space which was you
some involuntary response
to thoughts so naked
a soft entrapment of desire
and rides a...

I look up from my desk and say, Good morning.
You flash a flirty smile, then look away.
I wink and doodle something in my notebook.
You brush on by with nothing more to say.

But darlin’, ain't it...

The hardest losses
are those too late to repair
what has been win/win time lost
to despair

Just as love
cannot co-arise
where fear grows 
fully uprisen
a prison
predicting anger's nearby
impetuously apprised
surprise.

So too,
Freedom cannot thrive
where addiction has hard helped
us feel we are...

Oh bloody and evil Catherine de Medici.
The queen has acted impetuously.
Thousands have died because of her demands.
Witness her red bloodstained hands.

A wedding is a time of joy and jubilation.
Instead, there is death and devastation.
She thought...

We stage a dazing drama
Impetuously unfolding with scenes
Spelled by our minds and moods
Where all things happen
With the scripts discarded
 
We watch keenly a curious comedy
Everyone scheming for greased palms
Gone...when the rules were without exceptions
When shady...

I've been away too far from here.--
Taking chances in a crossroad pathways.
Never know where the phase will turn .
Losing or winning,chasing out my fears.

I'm  a lost soul in a midst of darkness.
Living each day...

I returned to our farmstead last autumn
on the driveway where I kicked marbles
and plucked brambles catching my gaze- 
Now overgrown at sixty-two
horse wagons filled the blank spaces
of my remembered landscape...
I walked like a ghost looking...

Morning smiles and there we move forward
Into the sunrise, gazing lovingly
My mind does a relentless flash toward
To your lips smiling quite impulsively 

You then squeeze your warm hand in alliance
And your mind wants to till...
