Breeze, storm, tempest, tornado, wind,
Typhoon, you are named, yes, whirlwind,
Yet, you have well compressed yourself;
In me, into a gasp, named breathe,
Without which I have a mere death,
Thus commanding terms on myself...

I could hear your voice...

especially those days when I was in college;

Rainy day clouds
Ominous shades;
Wet, wet, wet

Dawn unzips
Light spreads far;
New birth unravels

Bright sensations

Stylish flower shoppe 
Punctuates busy avenue;
Brilliant conversations

I thought about you today as I so often do.
I felt the sad familiar feelings
that will not go away.
You came to mind in a flash of memory
While I was doing something else.

I never seek these...

Dawn arrives promptly
Abrupt and early
Eyes still feel heavy


Morning routines wait
Early still feels late
Bedside clock hurls fate


Feet stumble wobbly
Sleepy form shaky
Moves somewhat edgy


Slow movement stealing
Awkward steps slipping
Sleep still caressing


Feeling still gloomy
Dawn leading slowly
Focus still weary


Wash my...

Standing in front 
Of the place 
He felt 
A faint breeze 
Skimming 
The streets 
Ankle high 
Swirling dust 
Reaching up 
Stinging his face 
Reminding him 
This was not 
Wind blown sand from 
The ocean.

with purpose of penitence direct in words, begging
the Christmas crowd to open their glassy eyeballs
     away from the dance and clamor of control
sweeping the light away from every human...

Somewhere between Easter Island and 
Santiago skims an ocean skiff loaded with
slumped islanders bound within the teetering
cargo hold. In the distance can be seen the
eyes of seven monolithic faces defending
islanders from the fury of volcanoes.

Beyond the atmospheric dome blue sky
A red sun punctuates every moment gone
Past cosmic black in dark suspense 
Hovers above the marbled cloud of Earth below

When stepping outside for the very first time
Looking up, the sky...

Blurry e-motion
Waiting on words;
Upheaval swirls


Meal time posture
Food court harvest;
Same old stuff


Chinatown fringe 
Walkabout excursion;
Hot humid weather chokes


Word for word jazz
Relevance juxtaposed;
Poignant verse strains 


Book store punctuates
Tucked in a corner;
Niched following


Verse genres ply
Moods and variations;
Starling change...

A period here. a question mark there?
A handful of commas,,,tossed in the air
To fall all willy-nilly but he doesn't care.
Then he closes his eyes so he never sees,
And does it again with apostrophe's.

fractured minds of mankind.
He writes peaceful melodies to soothe restless thoughts;

Each generation thinking they are smarter than the ones before
The problem, it's a subjective egocentric perspective
There's an air arrogance that's hard to ignore

Our poetry...
A thousand times been read
Syllables contort tumbling 
Under covers
Free verse unfettered 
Beneath hot breath
Brail symbolic softens 
As soon as alabaster wets
Lips’ reciting merely, what is 
Or should be heartfelt said

Our poetry...
Sapidus is to taste
