Long Penumbras Poems

Have you ever pondered
shadows are made of 
softness, they are not 
hard surfaced like 
those of us existing 
outside of the white noise

unable to grasp -

the invisible, 
that speak meaning to us, 
whispering their sagacious...

 as the fresh morning utilized the Moons net
one last time before she turned in
while her other face puts on make-up
eagerly she waits to kiss...

Sunsprinkled showers of light
that frolic across the

Psssst ¡

Did you know that the sublime petaled kisses
Of each could spin your heart to an aching mountain
Where worshiped on the pedestal of Earth
Such breath would utter your divinity

Ahhh ! I have collected these tremulous...

Our riverbank launch at dawn
where dense forest chills the breeze,
where cottonwood leaves flutter like wings,
and weeping willow penumbras tease.

Glistening, rippling turquoise water churns.
Crystal swirling pools symphonic and aglow,
elliptic aluminum crafts coast over craggy stones, 
riverbed...

The Sublime Cavalcade of A Holy Ghost

I have no answers to this story of living
though I have lived with the tales of your tears
and I have waltzed in the songs of your smiling
softly kissed the...

Deep in fathomless shadows I weep with woeful sighs.
My heart, once so innocent, I have come to despise,
and with each tear I cry for wrongs I have committed,
I find myself unworthy of mercy; unfit to...

Secrets for all their guise
tremble in dark
in shadows protection
yet still feel the penumbras chill
concealed away in their selective box
never to pry open
and tell the truth

As by some adolescent fear
there quaking in its boots
should rebuke then...

El suave manto de la noche que nos cubría,
como cómplice fiel de nuestro intrínseco amor;
a la llegada del alba se desvanecía,
descubriendo nuestros cuerpos hartos de pasión.

Sublimes y dulces fueron aquellos momentos,
en noche estrellada con alegre...

Lone Wolf…
He is the irony unto his lonesome self
Thrust upon this world
A cub youngling
He absconds from family
In search of something else

The Lone Wolf…
A spirit found, a spirit lost
Travails path of storm and wind
Looking and seeking
The...

Shadows  9-22-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadows

Living in ethereal shadows of compassion,
In profiles of grace,
Mercy overshadows stumbling stones
Revealed in a lens of benevolent focus
To eclipse blisters of ebony shades 
With wispy balms of healing from raining penumbras,
No longer shadow...

Waxing Lyrical



‘Tis true
Thou arte more fair than this high ridden morn
More enamoured of you ‘pon a suns corona
This heart beating is

And with mirth does it rise
Its resuscitation on a break-ed light
Bandies nought with shade
But cavorts...

Tired Muscles, Cortexually Speaking

Straining against the ice-cold rhetoric-
Spewing from a winter of discontent; alive
Only because statues never die, they just 
Spout specious diatribes from the halls of
Congress, under glaring tv lights; illuminating
Lascivious lip-smacking gargoyled journalists
Intent...

On a halcyon stroll on a crepuscular street 
My jealousy got flowing for my hound in retreat
His visceral powers and sonorous bark
Alerted by penumbras half in the dark
On an opulent lawn, a close neighbor of...
