Maybe It Was Eleanor
Ever wonder where big ideas come from?

from newsreel clips -

signature cigarette holder
clenched in his teeth
tilted ever upward...
soaring to the heavens
as he cruises by
waving to admirers

Quixotic
In a world where dreams are rakish and quixotic,
Where quiddity seems extravagantly chaotic,
A chivalrous soul dares to be different.
With a heart that beats fervently, so magnificent.
Romantic notions dance in their minds.
A visionary quintessence they find,
Chimerical...

Existing in despair and continual forlorn
Scandalized, accused of communist sympathies
Encompassing both adulation, and social controversies

the envy of all her peers
She spoke with unrivaled swashbuckling sass
her pirate-ess fashion was fierce
She could charm off the arms of the most hardened men
how they'd swoon at the...

if cigarettes didn’t make me stink for days,
if I’d ever figured out how to tap the ash away

instead of filling the empty space...

Escape From the Gilded Cage
“Escape from the Gilded Cage”
Its bars are made of heartache;
Its gates of pure cruelty.
Her boredom paints the walls;
To insanity she pleads her fealty.
Her skin is bleached;
It has never been kissed by the sun.
She sits in...

Ikmoch
As love embedded itself in Cifolta’s heart,
vengeance burned a hole in Jiralam’s.
She only saw his unflawed face
and sculpted body,
a well-baked, rakish dish,
plying her with wiles,
oozing with winning wooings
But her senses were bedazzled
by his chameleon charm,

Adventures of a Rakish Teenage Heel

On the dizzying tilt-a-whirl and fearsome Ferris wheel,
The haunting calliope in the musical merry-go-round
Calls to mind the adventures of a rakish teenage heel.

An Avian Dirge
Below the banyan tree it lay
Ruffled feathers grey and white,
Claws clenched in a hideous way
Making a piteous sight.
Upon the boughs its mates cawed loud
Shrieks echoing in the green,
The jaws of death could not...

On their lips a westward song,
Alighting from Horse Latitudes

Hushed By a Voice
Filling my lungs with my first breath;
starts the cycle of birth and death.
And startled by life's rakish sounds;
my beating heart rapidly pounds.
A cool breeze evokes such pleasure;
it's impossible to measure.
And yet, my gaze goes unbroken;
