The Sandless Sand Castle

The Sandless Sand Castle

Let me tell you about my eldest brother.

I am: the "Scram!", the "Beat it!", the "What you looking at?!", and the "Turn around and watch the movie!", younger brother. As you can...

Recollections From the Golden Cree I

I know of a river of more than average 
Sorts...
Meandering, when not dallying to maunder,
Between many differing contours 
And unruly contorts;
Where a privileged youth once
Happily sought -
Pursuing about his passions
In the traditional methods 
By which...

Obliging Earth's Compassion

Love
ain't hate

Divine discourse
denies degenerative debate,
Church
ain't State

Conserving compassions 
content obligations
contentiously Liberating.

I love thinking 
about win/win compassion
disturbed by hated win/lose
feeling obligation.

We/Me wants to conserve
resilient passion/pleasure
peak experiences
yet
Me/We needs to liberate
a more resonant Me
safe from They's
traumatic mind oppression,
body suppression,
negative...

Theater of Utter Charm Part 5

she left me defenseless again
for reasons that cannot be spoken
but that can be further diagrammed
worthy of forensic dissection
deep into the cauliflower folds
branching like rivers of lightning
all at once one at a time
lighting up the display...

Without Knowing Your Gender

Without knowing your gender...,

(nevertheless ex post facto still flattered
genuine heartfelt kinship mattered,
hence the reasonable rhyme 
across the webbed wide world 
I subsequently scattered).

Linkedin to the previous poem,
(similarly written scant few years ago.

I also codified, glorified,...

The Devil's Advocate

Your honor I wish to state, with utmost rhapsody before the crescent azure, that my client is as white as a Lilly
was it fare that he died, a tender soul twenty one phases of the...

Without Knowing Your Gender

Without Knowing Your Gender...,
(nonetheless ex post facto still flattered)

Bhutan names defy affiliating,
determining, identifying... gender,
and what a faux pas this dada admits,
when a blessed high school
student did league gully tender

benighted, gifted, ordained yours truly
with sobriquet "Guru"
alluded...

Borrowing Burroughs

Fresh and new
Adventures to find
Skipping to the beat
Of a patterned mind

Follow the line
Never step on the crack
The crevices will reveal
Wanton lack

Free, everything is free
For anyone to take
Maybe adults have to pay
For Mercy's sake

Wait! I didn't...

The Angler Ship

Tracing down the aeropath and to the landing zone,
Comes a stately silvery craft from distant lands unknown.

The attendants stand at the ready to lend a helping hand,
All poised and buttons polished in an air of...

Our Oak

OUR OAK

I shall always think of it as our oak;
Yours and mine.
Majestic in that green haven from urban cacophony,
It sheltered us in those precious moments:
Discreetly deaf to our small talk,
Obligingly blind to the fool I...

Rubik Cube

Yours is a horrendous bother

I decode one side, you obfuscate another!

I twist and turn, twist and turn again

fingers engrossed around your parts, another twist

extirpates the other side! My enthusiasm refuses to wane.

I warp your shifting...

The record plays -

I reach for you with all my being

Chekhov's Gun

"If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired." -- Anton Chekhov

That a gun given billing must...

Happy Place

Trauma has wrapped me in its slimy tentacles 
Tightening, till my depression becomes clinical

Man with yellow pad listens obligingly
Then into my happy place he is guiding me

I imagine my beautiful tropical island home
All is serene...

Endless Autumn, Obligingly

The morning sun just rising, glaring;

a damp, colder, workaday street ...

fallen leaves scattered,

Halloween mere days away:


Suddenly:  Startled by the workman:

A stray, jet-black cat

frightenedly slinking into utter darkness

under a nearby porch.


In the gloom, the cat...

Natural Pearl

agony of expectations never to be met,
duties to obligingly tend, without end
love's vessel silently sailing, ever empty

nothing to be shared but the pangs of regret,
missing a lover, a confidante, a friend
needing a match to spark...

Tricked of Treats

halloween in

western

pennsylvania
before there
was non

existent climate

before now 

my eyes
yes suddenly
predictably on

my grandson stopped
about how hot
it was under

his costume so
i continued to
pull off his

face mask so
he could
relax

catch his breath
before his next
trick but they

always obligingly

Scented Lies

The steady cadence of your soul does quell
a passioned spirit, aching to unfold.
Your rhythmic heart emits a luring spell,
forbidding independence to take hold.

Obligingly I dance your metered waltz,
though yearning, from within, new melodies.
As stifled feet...

Evening Orange

Oranges are always lovely
Nestling unknowable dreams
But they never come to you obligingly 
You need to have a heart genuine 

The evening clouds in the sky
Have raised colours of hushed height 
I perceive some salted stimuli

Predilection Edict

If possession is nine-tenths of the law
 entirely, you're mine
   though cosmically, empirically
         we lack the ties that bind

For naught these thoughts

Darkly Smoldering Allies

Darkness and I have become allies,

 affinity by association's shadowed prayer

     spoken of the same kindred language,

consanguinity in our devout appeal

  of blackening night's smoky exposure,

like a coke whore I...
