its visible squirm an apology for not bringing...

“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.”--------------------Rumi
listen not to the vagrant zephyr
seeking only sustenance of its kind
idol thinkers lolling in innocence
swayed by every whispering sigh
unaware – that secrets lie.

The Nature of Wisdom
Every flower has its own color
With annual observation,
this we springtime discover
Give a womb kernel cede
of acknowledgment
To the spectrum birthright
of each other
We are all one,
tho’ from a different umbilical mother
Notice the bloom of time,
come rain ...

He was sent to see a care provider.

Leafs of beige bound by counterfeit leather
Small enough to rest within my palm

The Pirates of Wales
The Challenge ~ The Milford Haven Harbor shielded Wales
from pirates making merchant ships their prey.
Her ports have cradled many from the gales
and swaddled sailors as her pirates play.
The Irish and the Celtic Sea are veils

Sonnet
In late dusks, smothered sighs of pain melt into tomorrow
In late dusks, smothered sighs of pain melt into tomorrow,
When waltzing sounds lift and fall in veiled irrelevance.
Sacred moments are captured in the twilight’s golden yolk of creation,
While crystalline waves of wind ring a farewell...

Strangers Once More
Elegy To Love
Shy glances from o’er ones shoulder
Longer looks that become bolder
Grade school crushes, Painful blushes
Turn to longing… as one grows older
Strangers still (but not for long)…
Hanging out on mid-summer night
A game of tag,...

Snapshots of Random Assonance
And memories still linger
memories of choruses of swindlers
singing melodies
in criminally inclined rhapsodies
minimally inspired to stop the crime

I found myself lost -- adrift
in a place that once...

but too soon, the light faded from his hazel eyes,
and his...
