II
Flight

One day, Maewyn was in the pasture,
	Tending his master's herds,
		When he heard spoken, clear as a spring,
	These few simple words,
			"Your ship is ready." the voice did say,
				He started then to run		
					And didn't stop to take...

My crazy dream is to begin again
back when I ran breathless in fields of green,
enchanted and well past the age of ten,
yet back when my slate of life was still quite clean.

Back when I ran...

Seriously questioning my own judgement
how could I have chosen you as my soul mate;
When look back to relation find I've ignored
some obvious signs.

Probably, I was looking through lens of my
desires, fully obsessed by own passionate
feelings;...

ACROSTIC  ODE  TO  SINGAPORE


Urge strikes a feel and flow of obvious appeal,
See a tiny red-dot enroute to places,
Embracing the path of economic will.


Bestow on this land of many dear faces
Use of timely...

A thought about losing you is much crueler 
Than never having had you  
But is it better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all?
I have lost the battle between my...

VIGNETTE FORM an example

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

On that which can not satisfy?

First moonlight,
Lips buzzed
Numb with new kisses
And wine,
Salty crispy hibachi ribs,
And your authentic sex.
Eyes smiling in the silence,
Small talk, funny faces,
And the sound of the dawn asking for five more minutes
Over crickets and frogs.
And breath,
Taking in...

Radiating through violet shadows
resplendent rays of moonlit charm
Smiles of a summer night.

Velvet moss on pavement grey
elegant shimmer of crystal stream, 
Radiating through violet shadows,

Maple adorning colors of Fall,
bedecking a world, still and calm,
resplendent rays of...

The Demonic Prince

Demons
The legion of demons
They dwell
In the cold place of hell
Tempt thee
The depth of hell's empty
They're here
For it's time to spread fear
Black crows
Come out of the shadows
They mean
They mean to ruin thee
But who

Acrostically speaking there is some confusion

Clear origin demands end of row execution

Rewritten meaning now calls for beginning

Of line emphasis for poetic underpinning

Start at the outset with succinct letter in mind

Then make form and message intertwined

She struts
from the pages of infamy 
Black bold and beautiful 
No straightening of her Afro 
She owns her gorgeous 

Forget “The man,”
She’s got things to do
Not concerned with his master fetish
In her world women rule
If...

The lion prowls for a fresh meal
Ready to kill and watch you squeal
Teeth and claws shred your heart
Bones and muscle torn all apart

He seeks one of us to devour
Not resting one bit of the hour
Ready...

She came to me when I brought in carts
and she was filling online grocery orders.

I gestured to her and handed her a poem
just written the other day, but I just
had to share it with her

and the truth is, the truth is
there is no such thing as the perfect poem

More beautiful than the sweetest kiss
Whispering grace in nature’s soft rhyme

On pink beach,
with red feet -
Georgia peach

on hot Bahamas sand.
Green eyes - yellow with sun.
Warm beige flesh, lightly tanned.
Towels wet and gritty -
scented like coconut.
Hair’s scattered and pretty.

Teeny-tiny conch shells drip from ears —
ebb and...

I saw a large round anthill in the dirt
and marveled at the intricate design
of what they were about. My heart was sad, 
and yet, without a thought, I moved away

Ever since world's creation
earth's reshaping is of note.
Climate-modified history records
begin about the nineteenth century.
Theories document data revealing
collective effect of change

Paleoclimate ice age records show
solar fluctuations, volcanic strength.
Human-induced environmental threats
are minor in the big...

Wild Roses in Ice

At the 
very edge
of a
frozen pond
during 
the
ice-cold 
Winter
deep
in an
old
country 
forest—
unbelievably
I gaze upon
three
wild roses
frozen
in a 
block
of ice
as part
of the
larger
ice flow.

These
roses
at the
pond’s
very edge
are
rosy-red
radiant
beautiful
and even
redolent
although
encased
they are
in the
frozen
ice.

These 
rosy-red
roses
appear
to be
perfectly
set
in a
straight
order—
horizontally
just like . . .
1-2-3.

A
wondrously
enchanting
sight from
Mother...
