Becoming a Tea-Bag Dad
Both of my daughters
have married and moved on
both now have lives
and homes of their own
both their “old” bedrooms
now empty of them
their laughter
and music
still harbour their presence
their energy and love

Of a land with pleasant views

Flower Chide IX, Thornpact
"Eons back, we feared the petal's grace,
called beauty pride, and named it place"

Each bloom now understood, but still
Knowing alone could never kill,
The monster born...

Goa My Goa Carpe Diam

At times they flood his mind.
He did not even know why them his mind drew,
He has got to get down, reasons to find.

County Road
I know I've been here in this afternoon
4: 10 P.M.
Like lubricated clockworks in a perpetual machine
My life returns to this brown earth blue sky
Pressed in between the distance
And the silence and the cries of crows
Who...

The Weeping Fish Orchestra
I once awoke into a dream
And there I saw a sight.
Adrift, a draft of Daffodils
Breezed on a hard day's night.
Still looking up and at the sky,
A Dandelions nest,
Shone down like rays of Buttercups
Alighting up...

The Mirror
All that you are
All that you see
Everything about you
Is reflected in me
Reverse intentions
See just who you are
Into your soul
To your deepest scar
They call me the mirror...

Spiritual Mafia
word string you make my heart sing
you make everything groovy
but I wanna know for sure
the slaver's noose is no sower of truth
and its cohort of prediction
open eyed jumping to no order

One More Day
And one day they will perish
With dried, hollow sockets
And there will be no more of them.
No more will the soul scream
From the thorny cage.
One day they will be free
And no more will their hands wipe
Their...

Buckling Up
I can't sleep from light even at early dawn
While winds throw my fringe to the other side,
I lay open-eyed at the starry skies,
Wishing to smell the emptiness while am gone.
I sense my dreams in a...

The Glass Box
I’m a butterfly with rounded wings
in a box of glass in a young girl’s dreams
As her heart beat slows
and her sleep sets in
I’m the deepest thoughts she hides within
The darkness closes up the night

Approaching Hell
A walk a saunter
but
No Paradise Garden this
The wells power a procession
The ghosts of the past
Things come and gone
It is looking back at you
You who have the gift of life

Smith's and Alzheimer's
standing at the end
of a real life
open-eyed nightmare
is a group of, broad-day, mind killers
how many of my kind have you time-warped
into sanity...

to strip away my...

What Is Time Capsule
WHAT IS TIME CAPSULE

Turn the attention spin. This is a kissing game.
Pucker up. This is going to be a disaster.

Out to Sea
"Out to Sea"
In the immediate times
we rush to consume it all
before it is all swallowed, and out it all comes salty,
like an Ocean pummelling our crumbling sures
eating away our solidarity
insouciantly the sandy...

This City Speaks
Faces void all passing by
open eyed yet emptied
like flashes of a vacancy sign
blank stares like orphans pitied
Caught in time
no plans to sketch
just colored pencils
with broken tips
Only the artist's see
painting joy on canvas
as...

When there is heat, I can't give no...

Gold Plated
I knelt at the river sifting.
Mud, water, rock.
Mud, water, rock.

Woke me from my open-eyed dream.

Winking from kissing the cold water’s reflection.
I hold my breath give...
