When I Was a Boy
Boyhood was a one-night stand,
So brief and unforgettable,
Full of dreams,
Sweet —like a rooftop party,
Wild and loud,
When the world several feet below,
Full of envy, shouted at us,
“Come down quickly!
Quick!”
Boyhood charmed me and
Did not harm me
It was...

In Darkness I Dwell
How long will this dreary night go on
Seems years since the dawn of morn
Why does anxiety keep me awake
What is this burden I cannot shake
Heartbeats too fast within my breast
Too quickly to grant needed rest
There's...

Equanimity
When equanimity falls to the wayside
And the eyes empirically survey the hillside,
It’s Einstein’s time that I can’t bide,
Mawkish mental masturbation adroitly I chide,
Thy self,
Then my discreet self in its inchoate knowledge of reality,
Like the mass...

Wildling Winds
I sit with sullen memories,
alone on an amber shore.
A balmy breeze ruffles my hair
as I recall a night of wildling winds
that took you away, my love.
It violently ripped us apart,
plunging a dagger into...

Word-Slinging
The wordsmith’s art is a game of chance,
Where meanings dance and ideas trance.
A deft hand wields the pen with grace
A subtle symphony, a nimble chase.
From arcane whispers, and secrets told,
To audacious strokes, both bold and...

Morrow - Future's Today
Enverated by the history; man's
Credulity, his weakness;
Give upon yesterdays, cause
It will hurt, day's risibleness...
Time is a fulsome mate, let go
Of her mawkish cast;
Hope is all but that is reigning,
Peaking the sinking mast...
Lives as ransom...

Soft Murmurings
Like an avian roosting when his cawing has spilled,
I mourn in grief as this shadowed night grows cold
Crushed and grieving from promises unfulfilled
Sorrow burgeons my heart, in bitterness enfold
like unspun wool on a distaff or...

Wish You Were Here

There was no Nightmare until after the fall, painted and swooned like a Fuseli
the clouds float in staccato...

Learning
I’m learning a lot, dating Peter. For instance, I have a whole new awareness of how clueless older Americans, like people in their mid-twenties, are about things in the modern world.
I think Peter’s learning things...

Ode the thrill of a tango

False Alarm
You Fall ...
the ground of your reality dissolves in this
stream of distraction, this inconvenient passion
the mawkish pop music you mock
is now singing your story, as
your thoughts, your breath, your blood
all consumed by his eyes, his...

Anonymous
Too ordinary when he walks
With men of drifting thoughts
Just so typical as he talks
To people filled with doubts
Like anybody when he writes
His words become confessions
Still too human as he scribes
The still unanswered questions
Might be unrecognized
‘Cause...

Shadowed Night Grew Cold
I was crushed and miserable from love unfulfilled
Like a mourning dove whose blood had been spilled
I cried in deep lament as shadowed night grew cold
Sorrow burgeoned my heart with miseries untold
Overwhelmed with fear, l fell...

Reawaken
Wearing smiling masks, when inside we were dying
There was a thousand unspoken words and secrets in that touch.
I’m crying.
I’ve been here before. The players all changed the scene the same.

The Last One On Earth
Carve into the birch trees, pollen breeze my air to breathe.
One more cough and one more sneeze until it’s over.
Tissue paper mottled with blood and yellow-green mucus, tearing and dissolving from tears.

Destiny's Railroad
In times oft-forgotten great freight trains rolled through.
Each boxcar was tagged in a swashbuckling hue,
Flamboyantly hawking some stale, mawkish view.
Now all that remains is the desolate track.
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack:
Our eeriest memories’ ethereal track.
Those heart-pounding engines, in...

Gnawing Hunger
Amidst the fields of plenteous
they sat in empty
with every meal starvation stalked
While on the land sunlight poured to copious
so to drink the rain they called it enemy
and famished hearts were born in every fruit

Fog In the City
The vibrant colours of a Venice day
Are muted now, and drained to sombre grey,
As huddled shades of countless long past years,
Sharing their tears and ever constant fears,
Silent, intangible, diffused, now roam,
In tones of dank, primeval...

Autumnal Musings
When the wind shifts to the south,
When the leaves wither and die,
I begin upon my path again.
Once again.
When the air begins to bite,
When the skies are beryl-blue,
My mind begins to wander,
And I wonder.
When folk titivate...

Where bonding represents this kind of dessert
A tradition that passed through generation
Cooking this food is always a pert
Experienced to cook a mawkish sticky rice

The Funeral
Respects have been paid
by those with good manners
and by the mawkish with
restrained curiosity
And now, I sit in a chasm of nothingness.
Raging seas crashing from my eyes,
whith salty rivers running from my
nose to the tip...
