Long Interlace Poems

In the intimate interlace of free will and fate, in the ultimate interplay of time and place, and with the consummate checkmate of my human dignity, all that is.. is over in the stormy, swarming...

Universal space…
Vast grace…
Infinity stars and galaxies
Of glory and praise
Joy
Jubilant 
Desire 
Humility
Hopefulness
Unity 
Peace
Happiness
Cheer
No fear
No tears
The Kingdom of unconditional clarity and love
Speak words of love from abuv
Roam home
Roam Home
Hold you dearly
Never let go
Insecure…
Then, I feel good
Misunderstood,
But good...

The Stars sparkled in her eyes
As light interlaced with her shadow
Causing her to question her senses
Even though she closed her eyes
light continued to seep out

Her brilliance, competed with the sun...

You don’t know how it feels
To be misunderstood and jaded
You won’t ever know till it kills you inside
To you, I speak words of wisdom
And it feels like I’m a million miles away
Just to feel isolated...

My heart is pounding in my chest
So hard I think my ribs might break
My stomach turns over and over 
And my palms are so damn sweaty
I worry your mom might be blinded by the rays...

“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed”


In the live network 
of intricate unassailable design,
invisible layer on imperceptible layer,...

YOU’RE LIGHT THAT BRIGHTENS THE DARK- 

Soars the quiet rush of dawn’s embrace;
Where hearts breath surrenders, dreams interlace;
First breath whispers soft, a gentle O' so sigh;
As my thoughts awaken, like stars in the sky;

With the...

Upon an old, majestic house,
An eagle trapped, her spirit broken.
With wings constrained, and softly spoken
Words, she whispered, like a mouse

“Tell my how the clouds feel 
Are they soft, or cold, or hard?
As they dance in...

In the desolate temple of the soul, flesh weaves over bone a silent epitaph,
Spirits lock thought within the ark of thought, and sometimes, a divine spark,
And women in furies pour vessels into fragments of petrified...

In the hush of twilight's embrace, 
Where shadows dance and interlace, 
A melody rose, soft and sweet, 
A lullaby, in rhythmic beat.

In a quaint village, nestled deep, 
Where dreams and silence softly creep, 
A young...

A delicate dance, a balance to abide.
Let me share a verse, a tale profound,
Of union wed in hallowed ground.

When vows were spoken, love's embrace,
Within the walls of sacred grace,
Two souls entwined, a blessed bond,
In faith...

In the depths of the Mediterranean's embrace, 
Where waves and sorrow interlace, 
A tragic tale unfolds each passing day, 
Of lives lost, dreams shattered, swept away.

Ten souls, on average, meet their end, 
In this watery...

There's mischief in the air, and in the sky
Rises fair, sublime, and rare - Blue Moon.
Son of Venus, hidden, now lets fly
An arrow to a chaste fair maid who soon
Shall spy a youthful eager boy...

We went to our Ava, our granddaughter’s, soccer game the other night
and once again I was shown
how everybody…every family…has a story of their own.

We saw some familiar faces (as at Ava’s soccer games we always...

In the realm of thought, where minds unbind,
We seek to shed the shackles, and prejudices confined.
For judgments to be fair, we must have our spirits free,
And gaze upon the colours of each mind, you see.

You’re certainly missing out
Whilst you’re fooling about
And you’re swimming in doubt
So I shall certainly you out-rout
I’d advise you to be on the lookout
For I’m your rival, far more worthy a scout
Take heed or you’ll end...

It has just begun.

The maps have unraveled in topographic templates, unmarked by geographic spaces.

They’ve been replaced by frequencies emerging from what we once knew as separate places.

For a place is but a point in space,...

Oh! to be among trees, mindful of silent power 
in mountains hallowed trails walked by Muir
snow still filling nature’s deep kept secret bower
breathe a bounty of sweet air clear and pure

A luxury sedan in a lone location
Moves along in endless time.
To be, to pass, and yet remain
Unmoved, untouched,
Always the same.


Suntapped tapers of autumn branches 
Spread and splinter, stark and bare
Against a sky of steely grey.
Heavy...

For diverse ranged interests, in prose and paint, speech annoted by body, frisbee 
aflight or as busking bowl.

Writing poetry, sitting or standing, thought on title, concept craving to be told, 
calligraphy ink to unlined leaf.

In the realm of educational activism, a tale unfolds,
Where a hero, young and bold, his destiny beholds.
Nurtured by government schools, his mother's embrace,
A journey begins, a pledge to defend, in this boundless space.

Amidst the classroom...

In my dream, I am walking through the frozen snow,
