Between Earth and Ecstasy
Between Earth and Ecstasy
My soul, wrought from the dust of falling stars,
Has embraced the undisturbed illusions, resting not in halted slumber,
They levitate, and like the crescent moon blooming, dark stirrings grow within me,
I rend the...

Love, In Love, and Loving More Than Words Can Say
Love is affection that lives in the heart,
Sometimes most realized when we’re apart.
There is a kind of love for parents and siblings,
When thought about, it brings a comfortable feeling.
There from birth, and continuing as a...

Praise God, Praise God, Praise God
I praise Him with my thoughts,
Bleeding hope and light, gentling
Smiles, wishes burning without regret,
His love is something that I’ll never forget
His love is the wonder that assures the mindset
He is alive – the light, reflecting...

You never know what you’ll find on the net
Nothing much surprises me there and yet
I found a sport that takes no native skill
Just a strong pair of pants and a real strong will
Competitors’ trousers...

33rd Birthday Part 1
33rd BIRTHDAY Part 1
December twelfth of the twelfth,
Born with wealth, kept within the internal house, no clue in eighty two,
True story here at last, I never knew my past,
Few people see within their hourglass,
Everybody’s...

Survive By Heeding Advice
When the parents are gone,
the kids survive by heeding advice and carry on
their wishes by honoring their true intent;
flowers sprout and then bloom,
never living their fragile, little ones to a fateful gloom...
as sunshine nurtures them!
Glimpses...

The Now Continum
The Now Continuum
In the quiet pulse of the present's breath,
Lies the secret, the power that outlasts death.
Not in the past, where shadows cling tight,
Nor in the future, a distant flight.
The now, the moment, this sacred...

Honor Thy Father is a Punchline
It don't hurt.

barely a drop of water left—
Midas in jorts and Nikes,
overplaying hands, turning...

Season's Voice
Like a gentle tear from God
Rain splashes the windows, erasing
Marks of dust, grime and grunge
With sparkling drops, embracing
The wonders of fresh reflections
Enlightening, delighting, replacing
The stains of a troublesome world
Like a yearning from heaven
Sunlight whispers across...

Tale of the Night Movers
*Image of Lovers Night by Pinterest.
Tale of The Night Movers
Hail, a phantom moon
traversing its cloaked
chambered recesses
of her prevalent crown.
Unspool gently and host
minding eyes immersed
within your ethereal pull
exacting Cupid's pursuit
impresses dependably.
Slay suspicious initiatives
yond hints of...

Gathering
(Dedication: For Don and Hollie)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here as we meet in space and time,
Fond smiles now greet reason and rhyme,
Gather most sweet in pleasant chimes.
A banquet fare to gather round,
To share fond cares in sensuous grounds,
This moment...

Kissed by the Son
Sunlight screams,
When the peace is broken
By dark, dreary things,
Like doubt and despair, poverty
Of the heart and soul,
Paucity who can never know…
Just how far you’ve had to go,
How very far you’ve gone…
To elude the dark’s heavy...

Her Day Is Done
In the Memory of Maya Angelou
Her Day is Done
Her day is done
Is done
The news came on the wings of a wind, reluctant to carry its burden.
Maya Angelou’s day is done.

Arkham Asylum
Founded by Amadeus Arkham for his dearest mother,
Whose illness, like Schizophrenia, brain sphere did smother;
An imaginary psychiatric clinic unique,
Curing cursed criminals, of their psyche and physique...!
An asylum suffused with history and mystery,
Though in hearts and...

The Year Had Started Bravely
The year had started bravely,
With assurances anew
With life and hope anew
O, but the knave – he played me,
With assurances untrue!
To contemplate it slays me -
His promises untrue!
Yet years drone on like drumbeats,
The monotony of years

The Fear Factor
Sometimes things happen,
Unthinkable things,
That worry and vex us,
And tear at heart strings,
And we throw up our hands,
And shout and make oaths,
And we cry and make fists,
At the wraiths and the ghosts,
Of fear and anxiety,
That enter...

Unknown
Unknown was born without a name;
A simple fact of life of lack;
A child once torn from hostile blame;
Not one to act because of slack.
Unknown once sought the sweet good life;
The terms were dear and soul...

After the Last Word
When I set out to write a love poem,
I imagine you as the crack before thunder
finds its voice, your breath
breaking the laws of gravity between us.
You are no angel—
but something that makes clocks forget
their purpose,...

It’s the breath I need but can’t reach
Arms extended as far as they can reach
But the superhero is late this time and can’t save me
Plan ahead they say so you can make time to smell...

Visualise
Start with your heart,
Let mind be still;
Then work fond art,
Focus your will.
See fine image,
Work focus clear;
Live your passage,
Watch joy bring cheer.
Firm intent casts,
Image you see;
Firm thought outlasts,
Watch form set free.
Clear focus looks,
Sees the clear light;

The Folly of Buzz and Blur
You whirl, you whir, a sparkler with no plan.
A frantic rush, chasing all you think you can.
Each flip is fragile, fleeting, never really sown.
A scatter gun feast, that leaves you all alone.
You blaze as if...

Hollow
Inside I see

That can't be right
And is it true that...

When the rose in spring prime does glow
And the breeze, down by the dew does blow
And when dawn starts to rise and grow
Do not tell me, it is so good; yes I know..
