coastal waters rose up as a calming coolness 
carried this gentle warm breeze over to...

Columbus In The New World

Three ships sailed under Spanish colours
(The Santa Maria, Niña and La Pinta)
And dropped anchor off the shores of San Salvador,
For Columbus and his crew to man-the-oars
To set foot on Terra firma...

   Far different than those of Carolina.

They faked their cheers for about an hour;
A king in his castle,

My love for you is possible.
Although my poem is inside of us we feel like dirty feelings.
Give me the power to stay awake.
2004 what a year! Give me the soul to be your hungry man....

...It went up on the internet,
people argued in vain,
some said, “Monster,” some said, “It’s good
that ‘the rich’ know their pain!”

knew nothing would be done,
all cops were bastards, after all,
he had already...

I can still recall the look upon His face

Each thought still makes me go to that enchanting place

The vernal air was floral sweet and honey breezed

 We roamed along Venice's zigzagged lanes and cobbled streets

Marco Rubio
reminds
marchers against automated gun violence,
their pilgrimage views
oppose
what many TrueBlue Americans
support
as Second Amendment Rights.

Why hide
your own NRA Red supported agenda
You cannot politically
and economically afford
to be found 
in this wrong?

So let's explore
with colonial ForeFathers

There's a New World
An anchor falls into the Hudson,
There's one half a moon
The Indians fall to their knees.
Red oak leaves are burning
High fly the ashes
Grey smoke signals of warning
Over Manhattan.
Gray smoke,
The drums were sounding loud.

Try a brisk walk at night, 
Igniting fire through ice, 
It might burn, bite or beat you, 
But you'll swear it feels nice.

Winding paths, waterways or cobblestones roads

"Another Man’s Treasure"



Jetsam tumbles
broken doorbells
no one
answers
anymore

ironing boards 
pressing to imprint
something of significance
a life, your life
droll and predictable

it all sinks 
to the bottom 
of a bad dream
with yesterday’s 
stale tears

sharp heels
clicking on a parquet floor
like knives...
