Journey On the Rocks
Allegheny rail train has been rolling along since dawn.
I can hear the patchy sounds of the horn ushered by the wind.
Sounds at first are muffled but become distinct as the train gets closer.
Gulls hovering over...

We’re (my pose is gathered this Saturday morning because I made a pancake and bacon breakfast) listening to a Britney Spears song, off one of Leong’s playlists. “I remember when I was about 8,” I...

One True Love
Years ago, while I was at work
You approached, and gave me that look.
When our eyes met, on that first day
I glanced at you, and looked away.
My heart was pounding, oh so fast
I never felt this,...

Son Light
You are my beacon in the darkness
the bulwark and seawall which protect my shore
the lamp which pierces the stormy waters
that surround me
I navigate the deep with the course you set for me
your spirit moves the...

Handsome comes
as handsome goes
forgotten
not missed
lies waiting
intestate

undeciphered
Mystery in the end -
far more interesting

Come in"

Dreams-Happy New Year
I look up to the sky, while the sun is going down,
A flock of pelicans fly, beyond the seawall mound.
Stars peep out of the dark, from the eastern brim,
The crescent moon marks, streaks of heavenly...

Eching Question
Since I was a child
An unspoken question
Has echoed in the hollow
Of my body
Carved by sorrow –
Where were you?
When your chubby baby boy
Climbed out of his crib and
Crawled into the cold bathroom
Where...

Moonstruck
The night had pitch-black to its edges,
With a darkness considered the last hue.
All light fully extinguished as in a cave,
Like a promise that will never come true.
I sat on a village seawall overlooking a bay,
No...

Metamorphosis
The ocean beast leaps forward,
Then slinks back, lying in wait.
It tosses its billowy mane, and,
With a snarl, springs up and pounces
On the slippery black rocks of the jetty,
Frothing at the mouth and
Pawing at the slick...

I Saw a Child
I saw a child sitting on a seawall
She had her legs tucked in to her chest with
Her arms wrapped around them talking to a
Beautiful mermaid.
I wondered if it was natural for a water...

Nor'Easter
The waves dash themselves
Against the rocks,
Sending geysers of spray
High over the seawall,
Half drowning the cars
That are creeping slowly
Through the sandy lakes
Forming on the road.
The wind screams
And pounds its fists in a
Tantrum on car windows.
The angry...

Fog
Appears a ghostly vision, fog in from the sea.
As if sentient in movement, shrouds all in it's mystique.
With a cyclop eye, lighthouse lends a mournful wail.
While specters breath dampens all, your marrow the chill...

Failure At the Guard
So there is failure at the guard
And we
Are back to square one
Seawall tettering over sea
I told them to watch
They did not understand
Such unconscious children
Do they think it was always this
They will know how it...

The Simple Windchime
Walking along the north end seawall at dusk,
the beach, now quiet, visitors have come and gone
Gentle waves, on the sand, hardly noted.
About to return home, a distinctive sound called to me.
What I hear is the...

On the Seawall Side
From one end to the other,
I love to take a ride.
What great sites, I get to see,
Down the seawall side.
I like to ride on weekdays,
On my way to work.
Down the beach, makes me forget,
I’m only...

You and Me?
As I sit and wait, and gaze into
The ocean deep, so beautifully blue.
My thoughts will escape, they tend to fly
I think of you, and begin to cry.
You’re gone for now, but due to return
My stomach...

A High Rain
Yesterday was hot, it nailed
its peeling skin to a desiccated air.
This morning, rain is falling,
but it has yet to land -
a weightbearing sky creaks
though it does not break.
Above straining clouds
a dam has broken, perhaps the...

Masters of the Wind
They stand in regimented
order, lined up on the seawall,
all facing into the wind.
A slight turn of a body
catches a squall and sends
an errant gull off balance
forcing it to take flight.
Overhead, some hover,
others bank...

A Matter of Time
Whenever I’m alone,
As usually I am these days,
I make room to acknowledge
The weight of my own presence
By minding the tide of my breath.
It flows in on a four-count
With the ease...

Quiet and Still
I walk down a quiet street,
in the darkening gloom.
The evening air, softly sweet,
with the hint of perfume.
The evening is quiet and still,
sounds have faded away.
Street lights come on at will,
the close to another...
