Manic Depressive Climates
Depression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,

at least not for my closely held ego-identity,

Marlino
Two, perhaps three miles out to sea, beyond the reef to Zapatillas,
Bocas’ dual sand-edged footprint jewels with jungle centre trees,
Francesco’s outboard boat heads out to Caribbean’s deeper blue.

Victorious flirtatious foreplay
Victorious flirtatious foreplay
I awoke early - now my body will sleep,
though thoughts rise like the Azores
of snuggling next to such an adorable atomic
bombshell of a beauty - boars

Anything For a Laugh
I’ve always been a prankster and a lover of a joke.
I love to see the puzzled look on an unsuspecting bloke,

Tell Her You Saw Me
Tell her you saw me ...
Tell her I was out on the bluff at the Cape
during a gale, much too close to the rocks.

I feel mind-controlled again
Wondering where you been...
Reality is so unsettling...dispelling
Fantasy is where I'm truly dwelling
My conscience is empty
No one cares apparently
Sex with you was something...

Arise! Let the mountains cry,
Hear the rivers sigh,
Cling to the gentling morn,
Wherever His glory invites
Wonder, hope – peace
Remember the graceful sighs,
Leaves dancing through the winds,
The stars, glistening on the hills.
Arise! Let the seas soothe the...

That was Then, This is Now
I once saw a man with kaleidoscopic eyes,
reflecting in hues of periwinkle and persimmon.
His heart illuminated in shades of scarlet,
