Long Reserve(a) Poems

Sometimes pandemic people share
pieces of our unspeakable personal story

That no health care worker,
sex therapist player,
or green resonant systems organizer
wants to hear,
much less smell,
or touch,
or deeply feel...

I flinch, sometimes.

Wince.

Maybe flirt with longer-term
dissociation,
to protect myself
from suicide
to protect...

My imaginary restaurant will be named “All That You Imagine.”
Any food you can imagine, you will be served.
Thanks to technology and a world-class cooking staff,
I can offer my patrons any food that they desire.
However, they...

Why the warmth in your skin
Brightens my world from dim

I do not know why
I do not know why for only you I'd die

I can't explain the kisses from your lips
I definitely can identify your familiar...

I wish she was alive,
I simply wish she was alive,
The mother I lost a year prior,
If by some stroke of good luck God
Could defer her death,
Till she witness my wedding
Also, opened for me his arms...

High on a bluff, overlooking the city,
Watching night lights come on- it looks so pretty.
Lights in offices as folks finish their work day;
House lights turned on by people home to stay.

A big bank of lights...

love me none

I reserve a table for two for a stupid reason.  
I am waiting for somebody to return.

Your empty chair inside a deafening resto,
I’m not sure if I’ll ever see your shadow once...

Can I kiss you just one more time?
Can I take you out just one more time?
Can we make love just one more time?
I know we don't belong together, but I want to make sure on...

The wrong facsimile receiving noise in the right rehearsing 
recital time of genesis room

To love your land, to be there for the cause of the land.
What is the core value of feeling alienated?

THE PEN, THE POET & THE POEM

Perfect picture painting a Poets palava,
And divisible dimensional dilemma:
Like a child surrounded by teddys & toys
To make a confusing costly choice;
Loose the pen & play the pipper,
Or choose between...

a magnet for songing birds that flute and flit  I am none other then
a telling wand with hints of shadow from a sunburst...

The wounded lion
There was a calamities
In his land 
The brutality of bad politics
Keep burning down 
His home town 
Time keep passing
Yet this circumstances
Never change 
He grew up watching 
The rain of fire befallen
His community
This all...

Have you ever considered how delicate we humans are
How fragile and complicated compared to say, a car.
I got an image in my head while reading scripture,
Of a house of cards all balanced against each other.
Then...

THAT’S REALLY COLD, MAN! 

There really is a woman who grants me utter peace
And makes me believe that we will finally get relief
It’s the same old story about youthful love crossing a sea
But when my...

I've never been much of a worrier,
Others do that far better than I,
Nor am I renowned as a scurrier,
Which is not to imply I don't try.
My small circle of close friends and loved ones
Is diminishing...

Outside the city, tasty pomegranates grow,
the Wakefields look forward to delayed honeymoon.
British coffee merchant, James was raised in Bordeaux.
Each day, they sample wines after lunch, after noon;
sober sweethearts smile, their selections apropos.

New to their palates...

Once a week, on a Friday
I have the most delightful way
I escape from all household chores
When Friday comes, I shut all the doors
To trouble and woe,
Then off I go.

I take Friday slow,
And savour every second
Because...

The movie theater’s fancy now;
Its leather seats recline
And there is more than popcorn offered
If you’d like to dine.

So we sat down, leaned back and thus
On footrests placed our feet,
Until somebody came along
And said, “You’re in...

I cope with commercials 
that sit on my head, 
that wallop my westerns, 
and leave them for dead. 
They shoot me and loot me 
till I go to bed. 

I scream at a stop light...

Old friend, how could you have slipped away
As shadows faded at dawn of day
And I blissfully unaware
In slumber lay?

When last we met and shared some wine
Laughed together, feeling fine
How could we not know
It was our...

THEIR GREATER SIN

They call one who speaks for Liberty a Fascist
They claim man made end of world as a proven tenet
And to them ‘free’ means imprimatur to ravish
Expressed with many a ‘You know’ ‘It’s like’...

Oklahoma skies reserve a place for me,
when my last breath no longer is,
shoot my soul to the stars above,
a resting place where I can find peace and love.

Oklahoma skies reserve a place for me,
