Let’s talk about everyday Heroes
Ordinary people like you and I
People who do not always win

Storm
All you have to do is waiting,
To listen to the wind rumble,
Like poor elephants,
All you have to do is waiting,
Sealed in our rooms,
Praying for his slate roof,
Praying for the wires,
I can no longer pray to...

Unveiled With Age
Crowds and noise and people enthralled me
When I had deciduous teeth.
And a simple thought of loneliness
Engendered collywobbles in me.
How amicable people look when viewed with jejune eyes!
Blanketing all kinds under pristine

Without contemplations...

In the red dust bowl of a dry river bed
an afterlife flowed to the distance ahead
where the eyes cannot figure the view at the end
or what lies in wait around the bend.
Gnarled fisher of dreams...

Digital Persona
Cave wall shadows.
Plato warned us.
Like Prince Prospero’s Abbey.
A cyber-dominion of masquerades.
Anonymity is a collective loneliness.
Electronic patches and flickers that we create.
The naked selfies exposing our genitals.
Neon carnival signage of our disposable selves.
White nationalists and...

Temptaion
The great tempter tries, subtly, watching us, lurking to lure.
Preparing, waiting to dazzle us, in times we are unsure.
His flames dance so beautifully, as we watch we are in awe.
Warm and seducing, calling our names,
They...

Lauren At 17
She understands the wind in all its fancies;
First born of all our lives in transition
Sheer elegance becomes a metaphor transparent,
To always be a Dancer in the woods.
She lives inside herself and revels in the freedom.

Masques, ruses, and facades

Be careful don't be fooled by smiles and facades
Of false interest and concern
The deepest wounds inflicted are by those most beloved
It's truly no way to live, too many place themselves beyond it

Masques of Tyranny
Tyranny wears no single face—
it dances in silk and iron,
in laughter rippling through marble halls,
in jeweled cups brimming with poison.

You Can Become Dreamy In a Spa
”You Can Become Dreamy In A Spa”

Soft Erie-like musical strains -
Guitars, flutes, banjos, violins
Float in the Air with rhythmic flare.
With rhythmic flare you lay bare,
Soft lights, candle lit, flicker there,

A Madness of Marigolds
A madness of marigolds
cascading light
the garden gate,
a painting to protect
one from the savages of truth
an obsession
with brush strokes
irises laden
with weeping desire
changelings in poppies
granite jawed
from a hunger moaning
with the all forgiving night
come into the gloom
