when Earth in the balance
against an uncomfortable truth
smug smurf like scavengers.

Though an atheist
Though an atheist..
please oh lord brace and fix me with monetary salvation

reducing me to abject poverty

The Aberdare Ranges Kenya

And the trees of the range-
Are tucked in a bucket of fog
Marching dawn, whose beauty never alters,
I tuck myself in blankets like a log
At the Treetops Hotel upon the range
Dainty dreams...

Galvanized With Steely Mettle
Countless instances submitting poems
finds me racking
quite a hefty collection of rejections,
the responses lacking
disappointing voluminous vicious
venomous vitriolic backing
quite the contrary,
the prefabricated responses
unsuccessful at hijacking
my "FAKE" toothy gumption
(since I wear dentures) lip smacking
bite size packing
not exceptionally appetizing,
but...

Writing With Weeping Words
WRITING WITH WEEPING WORDS
Lucinda runs through the forest,
runs past the barren fields, runs
past the lucid waterfall, runs
with her tears, leaving seeds of despair.
Roses with thorns grow most beautiful -

as you walk to the lodge
and your smile

A kiss on your neck
where you like
and I learn how the

Blind Loyalty
The worst kind of loyalty, is often
meted out blindly
It’s an entrapment, and it always

Meeting Expectations of a Realist-W
Passions for expectations with life were none
Till the teenage accepted life as it came anon.
