A perfect world
From A-Z…

Actually addicted attitude apologetic they assume while I'm angst in my room
Bold not blameless but blame shooting out like bullets
Critics just quit it, calculated moves, claim to have your back until you...

I have been listening to the different sounds around
The town and they can tell you where you are bound
I have been listening to the sounds around the town
And they make me want to frown,

Our first awareness
      falling through time
      through blood-rain, pure white snow, green vegetation 
      down into deep earth

I walk towards you,
as you stand waiting at the center of the bridge.

Beneath my feet, aged timbers span the churning river below.
With each step I see you more clearly.
My eyes search out the younger you,

Her long sleeved robe matched the hue of the plants so perfectly 
that it was hard to tell where the rest of the color and her form began. 
Her skin was a papery, ghostly white....

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 1

making my friendship with the water-pigeon does not mean 
that i’ve acknowledged all devotion of the land-lotuses to river
without putting any note of dissent  

i’m still plunging...

A comedy in the making
with all your selfish taking
and ever ending faking
a constant sense of breaking

I laugh at the thought of another woman's calls
echoing, echoing within my house, against my walls

I laugh at your gratitude...

I gazed at your beauty and your hair cascading,
You glanced at me- O, he is handsome, this man;
Your sensuous lips so tempting, captivating,
I laughed and it was a deep rumbling laugher.

And this was the beginning...

Hand in hand, we walk along.
Flicker up the sand.
Amidst the soft light of summer's evening silhouette,
The sky stack with images of a beautiful portrait.

Colourful sunset over the sea.
Landscape canvas acrylic and mystique 
awakening the degree...

I want to write a funny poem
Why does the chicken cross the road?
Because it was tired of the pen
Did you get the joke about tomorrow?
Yeah it is never here
How can you know that you are...

God We Have To Thank

Was a famous priest named Father Frank;
And when seen how our sad  hearts sank;
Loved a lot;
He said not;
God we have to thank for pulling a prank.

Call it intuition…
She’s got what we need before we get to wishing…
Simmering, stewing, mixing,
molding and making;
Adding sage and wisdom, sugar and spice,
Stirring, pureeing, refining; baking.
Her recipes are full of love and devotion,
Her soul goes into...

What words laid yonder way?
that stirred my passion’s embrace
yet no words have come since then
no tears of emotion came, and came forth nay trace.

What thoughts laid in waiting
that morn by the dawn's early rays?
that cursed...

CHILDREN AND THE PHONE
 
Children stumbling upon the wonder of a phone,
Can turn the mundane into a humor-filled zone.
Giggling and squirming, full of curiosity,
They stumbled upon a wild world of hilarity.

They tapped carelessly and swiped...

A bird’s eye view 
conversation overheard in a park 
somewhere near you


Hey, Ori ... what’s up?

Nothing much, Marque.
Just flying low, bro.

Big Ollie, the Ruby Cleaners rooftop dove,
shared some bad popcorn news.

Oh, yeah. What’s the latest...

"Every year since I've been married, I'd rise
To a tapestry of color and cool embracing feel.
To the rooster crow so, family can feast their eyes.
I'd work for two days preparing thanksgiving meal."

There is a specific kind of loneliness when you lose someone you love
It is difficult to explain…
For some it’s like a hole in their heart…
For others…a permanent stain.

It’s specific for each person
We have our own...

Breathing through tears
Streams of all my fears
Riding a smile of serenity
Encouraging my identity

Whispering marvelous grace
Laughter lighting up my face
Heavenly hopes that enchant
Awakening love to transplant

Glories alive and full of kindness
Reminding us of St. Paul’s blindness
Awakening...

I DO NEED YOU LORD BUT WHY

Homelessness, poverty, shootings and killings
How can a loving God...

When our children were growing up…
when life was simpler and our routines a little more stable…
we met for breakfast, lunch and dinner around our family table.

Our table saw our children’s laugher
felt their tears…and heard their...
