Paying the Bill
Paying The Bill
You may come to this some day
It may issue from nowhere
A moment un-strident
A loose flagging half remembrance
Something which neither carries
Nor contains
But a fickle shadow
Thin and as meaningless with an empty whimper
Not...

A Friend's Book I Read, a Letter
Hello, My friend.
We speak much of dreams, and well we should.
Sometimes our dreams never come true, and
sometimes they do. Better to have dreams that
turn into nightmares than to never have dreamed.
You, my friend, have...

Navigating Outward Bounds of Relationships
Volition, orientation familiarization aahing
and oohing within restrictive paradigm molding
inviolable honorable gentility -
flagrantly, desirously, clearly boyz abandoning
willfully skirting, panting (heavily)
forfeiting abominably, (no Joe King) abiding
chomping at bit, damning delineated, or obscure
parameters, between one acceding
Earthlinked selfish living

thinks these dark days of autumn

Catharsis
Tears of the past invoke frozen footprints
When fears rekindle flares of dire misery
Feeling the ache, straining blood streams
As wrinkles pop up swelling deep worries,
Holding dialogue with sustained poverty
Attempting to traverse shuttered streets--
Bent, but not broken,...

The Equilibrium
Where you walk upon this path
Set between each moment of deliberation
The seconds in contestant; expound
In each grain of sand the footprint of your passing
Ire; it is on confounding thoughts, and speculation
Brings the sole of your...

Some April Day - a Repost
This poem is rather difficult to classify. Composed of couplets, written very much in the style of free verse, it might be called a "corrupted sonnet." It was inspired by my 98-year-old friend who, from...

Transcendence
When imbalance of life churns hapless poignancy
And the zephyr of inequities breezes melancholy
Dissonance reverberates echoing pathos of grief
Seeking exaltation within metaphysical profundity
As hushed posture conjures up humbling catharsis,
Leaning in quietude, questing paranormal vitality,
Liberating from bounds...

Ode To the Salty Tear
O' Salty tear, a mere clear drop that you are
You've emerged for a million different reasons
many of which only the shedder knows
for you've emerged in all seasons.
The season of sadness or reason of joy
the tears...

Dismay and Disillusioned
Doors swings,
The 'galadima's' walking steps,
He possesses,
As if he was a gladiator.
A poised glance by everyone,
He bounces outside as regular,
Complain yet to seize a hold
On his mouth,
The git he saw on the canoe,
Re-awaken his reserved anger,
Only...

Forlorn Hope
The Face of Hope
The face of hope never masquerades in forlorn visages
Towering above spiraling pits in the dark midnight of essence
Breaks disingenuous chains of nightmare’s clutches
In bleak mansions of the dark moon to warm their...

Imaginations Distance
by Michaelw1two
Inspired by Lucia Szigeti
Thought, an idea distant,
across voids of words in rhyme;
comprehension is equivalent,
to accretion in cosmic time;
feelings seed mind comparative,
in singular beings prime;
Terra incognita, they thrive

Vaingloria
Vaingloria, chieftainess imperial
Hums a tune of love and springtime lost,
For now the seasons of her greying hair is Fall
Flecked with harbingers of coming frost.
And yet she reminisces of her early years,
Courtesan of rare erotic arts,
Remembering...

Poignancy
The all-consuming, everlasting,
endearing, angering, loving, caring,
blind to the bonds of hope,
ignorant to happiness,
yet wanted, needed,
Life.
Poignant it is, for sadness is its counterpart,
yet euphoric it is, for it lies in the blithesome land,
Life.
Taken away, unfairly,
one can...

The Book On My Nightstand
The Mulberry Tree
outside is farther from
my window than the sun-
light that penetrates
my bedroom, 2PM-4PM.
The sun's yellow ribbed
lines against the walls bar
the shadow of a stick
that sways as if to scrape
the paint of butter
vanilla hues....
