unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...
What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?
Only a...

The Storm Is In the Calm
The angles are in the storm
Just before the break of dawn
Sending a message to everyone
Telling them to remain calm
The angels are singing out loud
They want to break the treacherous cloud
and relinquish that awful...

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano
"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"
Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long
slow, deep, warm and wet
The story is...

Bookish Menagerie: A Time Traveler's Library
Toddlers' Exploration:
Cardboard drum and a thunderous beast
With playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide to dreams just out of reach
Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks.
Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump.
Flaps...

A Poet of a Thousand Words

The pen garnished by the flame

I confess between the lace
Of time and every sorrow made

A Harvest Quartet of Subtle Harmonics
Spring's Excitement
There are rhythms of Nature that no one controls
that farms use to advantage! Time's fishermen sailed
both with tides and fair breezes offshore in their boats
at each dawn and dusk's onshore brought home each day's...

In the silky night, dotted with mystery
In the silky night, dotted with mystery,
Where the moon's thread weaves shadows on the paths,
The heart, a thin garment, a flash in the ether,
Listens as the time from the hourglass seeps away,
And its rhythm, a...

Heroic Crown of Sonnets 2
8.Reading
I see them all rise to an endless sky.
Tumbling burnt pages from raging fire,
To leave ash of closer, to pacify.
A single deep breath near flaming pyre.
To see destruction with a silent face.
My eyes will cry...

Fussin', Cussin' and All That Nonsense

Remorseless Sweaty Palms
Remorseless sweaty palms
despite being prescribed glycopyrrolate.
Though the angst riddled psyche of mine crafted youth, long since receded, ebbed in the past, infringement, impingement, and indecent wracking wrath of mental illness, that even as a middle...

Absolute deafening silence
Absolute deafening silence...
during and after a moderate snowfall
today January 19th, 2024,
within Southeastern Pennsylvania
and elsewhere across the Eastern Seaboard,
whereby blanket of whiteness
muffles sounds of civilization.
I hate a spoiler alert
regarding weather forecasters prediction,
especially when meteorologist

Two Lovers Vi - Paper Plates
Out with his boys drinking, feeling rowdy
Special occasion
Rolling the way they do
His lover is not with them
She stayed in for the night
He misses her company
But enjoys his time with the guys
He'll swing by later

Immigrants Gone Native
I suppose it isn't rather nice
to think of us this way,
but to the squirrels
and the trees,
the robins and the grasses,
human natures are Earth's great transitioning immigrants
on this block
we call a planet.
In this newest arrival sense,

Two Hearts One Love
Reflections
Though our love nurtured well in passion's fire
Aroused now as a lamplight on life's road
This ember's torch burns still from our desire
With gleams of memories from love bestowed
as we journeyed in wondrous enchantment
I've kissed you...

By the Numbers
Everybody love to say they’re number one,
but it takes two
to make beautiful music,
so we’re told
Pitch perfect

it never gets old
After ninety nine repeats,
it sounds one zero zero multiple...
