8 Little Egypts
Something strange
and unexplainable comes this way,
this way, it comes to us sly and fast,
some say, perhaps,
it has already arrived,
it walks unseen, in the midst of all, of us
we go about our...

I Write Because
I am the writer that you think I am
Sad words written on a lonely page sporadically through a sleepless night
Alike to
Tasty words poored out like savored wine that was aged for the same occasion
I don't...

~ In the Innocence Sublime ~
We lay fallen as velvet roses divinity-promenading in our wake. Innocence sublime
weeping still-puddles... blessing-our-first-kiss. Beauty eminent one heart securing all we
share-tongues-entwined hopes defined joined together-soaring-free-as-one... a kin to love,
swept-away-by-it-we-were... .

Day of Death Embarrassment and Condiments

Dear Humanitarian Poet,

Pen down to erase the darkness

The Garden of Morning Prayer
Sitting saying morning prayers, all in our own way.
Early riser, prayer said, coffee made, it starts the day.
God comes to me instantly when I rise.
So I know I’m safe, always having a good thought at...

From the National Poet of Slovenia In a Language People Understand - the Ruins of the Ancien Regime
Farewell, then, AUKN boss,
The next this year makes three.
By the time they find a substitute,
Slovenes will be at sea.
He tried to cover his behind;
AUKN boss of bosses,
As every week, balances grew bleak:
He weighed merits and...

What Is Poetry
>What is poetry? Other than words written by human hand.
In perhaps a language few understand.
For when translated, it may lose its intended flow.
My mind recalls the officer asking for reinforcements. We are going...

Cartoon Parade
Imagine if at the drop of a hat,
You could become a cartoon
Sylvester the Cat,
Chasing poor little Tweety Bird,
Perhaps it sounds absurd
Or be Fred Flintstone or his friend,
Let’s just pretend,
I was Barney or Fred’s wife...

Universe In Her Eyes
Upon the stars in her eyes,
a universe of wonder lies.
The smooth glare upon her face,
like moonlight on still waters grace.
The spark of magic when she smiles,
ignites a flame that burns for miles.
The suspense in her...

By Means of Death
‘By means of death’ –
No softened course,
No path of cushioned ease,
No passage smooth
In gentle calm
Could circumnavigate
That destiny of death.
No other route lay open
To that future scene
Whose riches lay imprisoned
In an ancient promise
Far beyond
The reach and...

Refined
Though the lights are dimming,
My heart feels the pain.
I see the tears, I hear the rain,
And I’m left, simply saying,
As my mind interprets,
“What’s it like to breathe the same?”
Am I the only one to blame?

Madddening Thoughts
My mind is a mystery,
It knows all that I know
scaring me out of my wits.
Methinks,
I cannot hide my thoughts—
That’s insane!
Why would anyone know
my innermost thoughts?
Least of all, my mind!
That’s between my
soul and my conscience,
Why...

The Green Man
He speaks for the uprooted.
A man of sorts, a twiggy Buddha.
He who interprets
the conferences of frogs,
the unpublished works
of kestrels and voles.
He’s an advocate for the underbelly
of a microbial heaven, for every kind
of uncouth animalcule.
Ancient is...
