The World of Fraud
Stolen golden treasure chest
Dead man lying on his chest
Discarded like garbage
Because we act like we all savage
Eaten by vultures
As greed transcends cultures
Lying gypsies
False omens like eclipses
Fake prophecies
They packed their bags for those ill fated...

The Sacred Drops
Forth from the heaven, from the misty moorlands of all sacred woodland greens,
drop by drop by striking the pebbles and untouched vegetations oozes,
the intoning hallowed water of evergreen woods' crystal cascades, brooks and streams.

It Was the Word After All
Wrapped into a cocoon of impenetrable meaning and faith he followed the light
Doom and gloom had once shadowed his library of dreams and contentment
Scattered in his loony resemblance of a rational mind words rearranged reason

Lost Lake Odessa
My world spins round
too fast most times
from Greek deep roots
on Black Sea ports
crossing Jordan's River
on Catherine's Great
trains meet sailboats
greeting sea planes
flying off to sports unknown
throughout Lake Odessa Highway.
Where Ottomans
blend Spanish matadors,
heroes for Earth's day
and night...

A Walk Through a Small Park
My lady friend and I sit on stumps. When she sings
she rings the woods with a monarch's butterfly wings.
A crowd of bikers
on foot as hikers
in thick with woods
unsaddles moods.
Old ladies end up mothering
their men with...

Poetry II
If poetry channels our anger and sorrow
Who then will want to write it tomorrow
And will joy and contentment stifle its future?
And what will become of our stays and culture?
I say poetry has been victimized
Vilified,...

The Gravity of Gravity
Gravity keeps our feet on the ground,
Stops us from slapdash flying around.
This force of attraction ‘fictitious’ gives weight
And makes all fall down at equivalent rate.
(Albeit in flights of fancy it seems
That gravity follows the laws...

Alphabetical Love
Anecdotes all arousing my head
breathless begging to be your best
carefully caressing your caramel skin
ditching the deep ditches of dolor
enveloping the ever-present eerie aura
faithfully faking the smile on my face
glamorizing the greatness of giving
helping the halos...

Enjoying
I’m enjoying my journey through life’s brilliant countryside,
I’m enjoying the charm of the meadows running wide….
I’m enjoying my dreams of countless odysseys,
I’m enjoying my life in the wild backwoods by the sea;
I’m enjoying the forgiveness...

Cast a Cold Eye and Wait
What do you think
of the man peeing, the ever-shitting mouse?
Finding meaning in killing
and cleaning house.
Sal quit school,
your lover stops writing.
Eternity's waiting,
a lazy-eyed tiger.
Or everything's cool
even the fighting.
The weather is perfect
for swimming or dying.
Physical dizziness,
mental uneasiness.
Isn't...

Clanging Echoes
When I’ve gone
to the place
where my fathers’
have gone before me
and the last tribute
has been paid to my memory,
may my singing words
crack the silence with clanging echoes.
May the clanging echoes
excite starving eyes
and taut wrinkled eardrums—
both...

Austerity
Dynasties of greed and its economic policies,
political discourse and its perpetual odysseys.
Deficits through poor implementation,
voted promises and false trust revocation.
Borrowed capital and meeting their existing obligation,
taxes, high prices and corrupted penetration.
Violence done to keep the...

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...

Our New Myths
Light years before
history began to take itself seriously
we commenced to spin our myths.
We carry these unread books,
to where this ancient world
has erupted from the molten
to solid ground. Enter this malleable
and imaginary planet
speaking of improbable odysseys

O muse ... the lauded poet Homer called

Obsessed
Staring into an empty sea-blue Picasso.
Winking,blinking and greasing my wet nose,
Trying to discerpher the rune in my upper
torso.
To see, if I shall for once, think strait.
Then upon my thoughts, I sat;
Thoughts of her; and...

Beaching
beaching…
the rhythmic waves
frothing to and from
carry middle passage echoes
of journeying odysseys
the setting sun severs
the umbilical link
between motherland
and her children in diaspora
reflecting grains of sand
catch crystallizing tears
of memories of faded shores
the bleeding breeze blows
sea seasoned whispers

Amorous Odysseys
Amorous Odyssey’s
We’re for each other
It’s plain to see
All our countless
Mutuality’s
Like locknecked swan’s
Swooning on a pond
We’ll sing together
As we float along
We’re for each other
That , there’s no doubt
We always know
Just what...
