After the Vietnams and the Me Leis
Steel skull
Stone eye
Blooming jungle rot
Itching on the crotch
Jack scratches the trigger of his M14
Kisses the golden egg
And throws like the Babe.
Jack is now back from hell and trying to...

Two Aloha-shirted Hawaiians 
of generous girth were strumming 
their ukuleles 
on a small stage in front of the hotel’s poolside bar
in the late afternoon, 
rehearsing for the night’s performance. 
It must have been the low...

Dreams of India

Her music haunts me
in such a knowing way
it makes me weep
and causes my heart to ache.

I become homesick for her
scents, her sounds, her food,

One year,  over the ocean, Santa veered  off course
His reindeer were battling a hurricane  force. 
As the sleigh went  spinning and spiraling around,
 an  island appeared far below on the ground,
dotted with palms on  a white sandy beach.
Santa took heart that land was in...

Christmas on the pacific islands where it's summer everyday

Zephyrs saunter past my nose
at speeds where one cannot appreciate
the foreign fragrances they often hold
before their currents dissipate.

Ripples congregate and flit
before my eyes with unbecoming haste;
they undulate their circular hellos,
then disappear without a trace.

Tis a...

Let's celebrate Lei day today
In pageants with a King and Queen
In flowers of each island's hue
A day in which we extol spring.

A day of Aloha's spirit 
Where music's shared in hula dance.
Children wear each island's...

when you leave home in your childhood,
ne’er returning
until Fall
after childbearing years,
oh the hues kaleidoscopically whorl in your eyes.

i’d nearly forgotten Oz,
dreamlike leaves clipped on trees —
dazzled us in Louisiana.

we wanted to follow its trek
to New...

Exuding purity, while honour bestowing
“Sampaguita” I am, my country’s national flower
Jasminum sambac --- such is my scientific name
beautifully functional with my fragrance
oozing through a branded perfume.

With my God-endowed economic potential
I’m sought to provide livelihood opportunities...

Island Spirit

Palm trees are swaying island style
Within the gentle trade wind's flow,
As Egrets glide on salty air—
Then land where verdant grasses grow.
Breathe in sweet scents of tuberose
And let fine mist caress your face,
Dive deep into...

Prolix Pageantry

Pulsations of veinuous royalty
courtesies yond the proverbial realm.
Majestic interludes flamboyantly
acquired vesper's affections, overwhelm.

Cupid cedes ecliptic earth's lauded star,
hauling affianced light neath golden rays.

Clouds explode and bloom
Flower petals fall as rain
Sunshine picks them up again
Counting each scented one

He loves me

Magnolias in the summer
