Tell Her You Saw Me
Tell her you saw me ...
Tell her I was out on the bluff at the Cape

its roar far too loud...

Black Swan
I saw you …
high …
atop the promontory
spinning with manic madness
pirouettes et fouetté
lost in yourself -
in movement …
your upper back split, low
and, I swear -
feathers … peeking …
tucked under your shoulder blades
splayed and black as black

Himalayas
Himalayas
Eons ago in the planet’s evolution,
During tectonic plate movement: 1
The Indian Island Ma moved northward
Crashing into the Eurasian continent,
To form the Himalayan mountains. 2
Out of the chaos, towering peaks arose,
Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting...

Verse
A lone voice whispers in 2025
I can see
All the way from in here
That the fate of the world is on a precarious knife-edge
The black-robed vultures
Are gathering
In secret covens and lodges
For their Great Cull
Carefully planned and patiently waiting
On their gilded...

Shunned
Breaking down in the heart and mind.
With all regrets that are truly not kind.
Shocked at people are, so painful to see.
Abused with hated and ecstasy.
Violated and directed with torments
Lost of words or comments.
Hatred gushing out...

Over the Wall
I move slowly to the edge of the boat
Holding on, trying to maintain balance
against the waves and weight of equipment
A final check in preparation for the dive
I close my eyes and step off the boat...

Escaping Depression
Where is the light in this dark world?
I can't find it.
Is the trench I've dug really that deep?
So deep that I can't get out?
My hands are torn from climbing these walls
My wrists bloodied from...

I Am 1
I am water,
I flow single mindedly in search of the sea,
I am a fast moving torrent of rage,
As I rumble over the shallow rapids,
I am a slow and lazy pool of the darkest, still depths,

Making of Poetry
The mountain stream chisels a valley
As narrow as the neck of a swan
The water dancing down in musical cascades
Crashing on the rocky ledges
Splashes silvery drops spiraling high.
They carry the expression
The stream proffers to the...

Words In Search of a Poet
The mountain stream chisels a valley
As narrow as the neck of a swan
In the rocks as strong as steel.
The water dancing down in musical cascades
And crashing on the rocky ledges
Splashes silvery drops reaching the sky.

The Little Girl
