Welcome To Eden Picture Perfect Countryside Village Serenity
The waters trickling under the
crossing bridge grows ever dormant
And on the one and only discernable
route into this village languishing beneath
there is a old rickety swinging sign that says
" Welcome to Eden "
We trust you enjoy...

Narrative
I am the girl who loves too much
I am the girl who loves too much.
The one who bakes brownies instead of saying,
"I miss you,"
because sometimes sugar feels safer than truth.
The one who writes long birthday cards
and sends postcards filled with drawings,
because my...

Food For Thought
No winter postcards of deep snow and bliss
No winter postcards of mistletoe kiss
Winter was cold, winter was tough
Winter was long and we all had it rough
No Father Christmas, no presents for us
No wide eyed kitten...

OLD FRIEND IN TOWN
songer.co/song/px2d2dv2pgxa458b3utd2miy
[Verse 1]
He rolled down Main where maples once swayed,
Stopped by the diner, but the menu’s been remade.
Faces in windows, no one looks twice,
Another stranger under neon light.
He knew every crack in these sidewalks before,
Laid bricks...

My Kashmir Burns (Part 2)
Another son is dead, until five he lived.
For his long life at Shah-Hamdan he had threads tied
“Shehij ninder yee nai. Gahas Kormakh Khudayas Hawale”, his mother cries.
No news can penetrate across the mountains. Satellites work...

Sailing Neath the Charles Bridge

Such history flows beneath this bridge
And all that have walked on it
So many pass its statues walk
And think so little of it.

By Now You Have Forgot' - To Whom It May Concern - Part 1
Remember all the Wise Men on their knees upon your yacht?
With orphans on their backs they’d crawled (with others that they’d brought)
Through rubble on the highway sands and residues of Lot.
They came from severed cities...

Slowing Down
Slowing Down
Electricity runs through my veins.
It courses in waves,
from my head to my feet,
and back.
Why?
Because I am ever,
waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I heard the first one,...

Bank Robber's
we were young and dumb,
but not reckless,
two boys skimming the edge of fear,
a twenty-year-old shadow
and his seventeen-year-old brother,
riding the spine of Interstate Ten,
from Tallahassee to San Diego,
then back to Florida—
outlaws without blood on our hands.

Keyboarder In A Quandry
My clawed nails hover over library setups,
one is circumspect and so guarded,
where I quake eyeball entrapment mode,
with desktop oozing clever poly functions,
that limitless latitude bespoke of,
glowing brochure reference point,
as I adjust the red...

Fun In the Sun
Flesh on show and sun tan lotion
bodies laid on towels or sun lounges
By the ocean
Salty air wind blown hair
Music streaming from the near by fair
Baby screaming nappies full
Cool guys looking for babes on the...

A Place We Call Love
Winter with you snows proposals.
Promises crunch under foot in autumn
bursts of colour on park pathways,
orange into red into yellow.
Summer with you spouts kisses, wet with spit
on a teenage first date - there’s no...

A little girl with dark brown braids.
White blouse, gold-colored wool skirt
and patent leather Mary Janes.
An only child with a wired haired fox

The Stanzas By the Sea
I
when the world had no headsets
the sunbathing crowd
fell asleep to the sounds of
transistors played loud
while the deckchairs and windbreaks
kites, beach balls and more
formed the stripes, lines and circles
that painted the shore
and the longer I walked
on...

Peitro is barely three years old

And yet, they are the closest of friends
Carrying on and laughing in the library but
Even the studious patrons don't stare in scold
Over in the children's section...

Freedom Was the Death of Me
We rode into Nacogdoches, with our pistols and our Bowie knives,
Volunteers for Texas—we came to risk our lives.
Some of us had families, and others, just the memory,
And some of us they didn’t hardly miss in...
