Old eyes
Feel wow,
Now spy
Joy now.
Old ways
Can style,
Bold play
Flings smiles.
Old touch
Curls round,
Seeds much
Sweet grounds.
Old zest
Born here,
Feeds quest
My dear.
Old form
Works well,
Love norms
Fond tell.
Old moves
Sweet stay,
Wise grooves
Can stray.
Old man
Speeds peace,
Fond scan
Words ease.
Old girl
In glee,
Love swirls
Sets free.
Old times
Floats out,
New rhymes
Now shout.
Old range
Feels nice,
New change
Hot spice.
Old sighs
Slow down,
Aged highs
In clowns.

Its get dark for us baby
I left my Cousin with his lady
We can lay up or gets crazy
We can’t stray to far
But the ways its been Going lately
We won’t have very long
But well be singing songs baby
You know that I ing love you
You know that I wanna you
You know it like you know god baby
Like faith
In the face of nasty odds baby
You know it like you know God baby
Like I hold you around
Your waist and I taste
Your neck and say its for a good cause
Baby
It gets dark and it gets cold
The wind that
Hits us is a 150 years old
Its a crissagrim made of gold baby
It’s Gets Dark
It’s Gets Dark
Softly she enters the path into wood
Dressed in summer's white linen, black hat unband
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
In bloom today trees ..dogwoods, cottonwood
She carries her butterfly net in hand
Softly she enters the path into wood
Tiny little girls become sisterhood
Drawn to nature are they, bugs, blooms, and
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
She spies butterflies in the thick hardwood
Escape today, play her spirit's demand
Softly she enters the path into wood
Away from the creekside where sometimes flood
Away into the scary woods not planned
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
Away she goes into the deep away
Stray away from everyday dismay
Softly she enters the path into wood
Toddlers follow, these of her motherhood
I LOVE YOU
I love you from a far;
I love you for who you are;
You are by far;
Of God
Beautiful woman;
I prayed for you this day;
I prayed you never stray;
Yet you left me;
You went back to the Father;
Of God you are;
His bride, He's the Father
He lent Him to the others;
Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Husbands and Brothers;
Beautiful woman;
On a vision of this reality;
Gone on back home to glory;
On wings of the mighty eagles;
I prayed for you this day;
I prayed you never stray;
Yet you left me;
You went back to the Father;
Of God
Beautiful woman;
I love you from a far;
I love you for who you are;
You are by far;
I love you from a far;
I love you
I love you;
I love you
I love you;
I love you

Moody sky
Lightning whiplash;
Stormy water colours
~~~~~~~~~
Potted plants
Passageway decor;
Blooming orchids
~~~~~~~~~
Pedestrian walkway
Route to somewhere;
Day bazaar stalls
~~~~~~~~~
Blue butterflies
Fluttering around;
Plumeria blooms
~~~~~~~~~
September moon
Romantic hints;
Streaking teardrops
~~~~~~~~~
Pulse of morning
Bamboo pines sway;
Breeze whispers softly
~~~~~~~~~
Silver bangle
China momento;
Copy original
~~~~~~~~~
Yellow bird rest
Enroute;
Sings of old times
~~~~~~~~~
Old cabaret
Vintage moods linger;
Old building restored
~~~~~~~~~
Old era compound house
Oxford Road guava tree;
Fond memories intervene
~~~~~~~~~
Traditional wedding
Friend's daughter bride;
Happy festival here
~~~~~~~~~
Search and browse
Used books sale;
Treasured keepsake
~~~~~~~~~
Muddy lotus pond
Hot midday sun;
Purity sparkles
~~~~~~~~~
Happy children play
Spontaneous frolic;
Virgin innocence
~~~~~~~~~
New media connections
Yet loneliness expands;
Cyberspace touch points
~~~~~~~~~
Extravagant outlook
Spending tomorrow's wealth;
Retrogradation
~~~~~~~~~
Brief tryst in time
Insanity extrapolates;
Nightmares lurk
~~~~~~~~~
Tall grass verge
Stray flowers sway;
Unnoticed treasures
~~~~~~~~~

Singapore
we sat and listened
as his heart broke
a crack was heard
as each word spoke
he had lost sight of truth
when he was betrayed
tricked by her slight of hand
seduced with a magical cat
a bar stool found
his searching feet,
and his hand found Jack
purpose drained
as each glass emptied
reason and sanity fell away
all she had left
were empty boxes
in dusty corners
a stray piece of lego
had stood stationary on its end
waiting for small hands
that had once been the master
of its kingdom
Jack lays on his side
and with a wimping snore, breaking
the even stillness of silence
I lay here looking for tomorrow
hoping soberity and hope emerges,
from the emptying bottle of despair
he now dwells in to forget
For C ..
Wide Awake At Two Plus Hours After Midnight...
(actually, now at present time juiced
well nigh high noon same day)
On this January nineteenth
tooth thousand and nineteen
dogged by an earlier notion
searching soul to glean,
(while at Collegeville Diner)
above place previously wrought
poem hammered from this peon
expounded possibly seen,
asper belated birthday
outing now I mean
to expound upon nagging, yet keen
existential question, sans what purpose
validates yours truly within skien
of terrestrial webbed wide world,
no...no...no not
simply pocketing green
backs (banknotes, legal,
tender, money, et cetera), but now bean
older, and displeasing lee not so lean
when just a slip (pre) youth decades ago
yea, that would be
when I hapt tubby a teen
with nary a concern,
nope not even to preen
myself much to the dismay
of my late mother, nay
no idea why lackadaisical, illogical,
and antithetical bee hay
vee yore prevailed, but more to the point
rarely when young and naive did stray
thoughts besiege my mind,
that LX vintage sketchy,
shady, and seedy gray
area bothered concerning,
hounding, pestering and fill lay
mignon noggin ready toboggan
any price you say
for this staged coached blarney
finding this mortal questioning... ray
zing meaning, purpose,
and underlying importance, gestalt, design...
of life more so today
meaning since recent past
also taking stock of
accomplishments from way
back, and feeling stymied okay
at a loss to delineate
any rhyme or reason
to shout hip...hip hooray
quite the contrary, which following
admission might appear cray zee,
but aye decry barely
living capped off with oy vey!
Silver-fog-screen tries to prevent the sun.
Peeping through fogs, the sun enjoys the fun.
Grass blades and blossoms glitter with dewdrops.
With rat-a-tats, dew drops fall from rooftops.
Motley migratory birds fly in flocks.
Flamingos try to overtake the hawks.
Doves descend from the skies as though fairies.
Robins dig out the snow-laced blueberries.
Foxes flee full of prey-less frustration.
Young sheep bleat at their wool operation.
Dogs and cats shiver in their master's quilt.
Stray apes leave the countryside feeling guilt.
Twilights seem to be serenely waiting.
The rich enjoy skiing and ice-skating.
While bonfires and campfires fill every street
Impoverished kids beg around bare feet.
Draw a map
A course for your life
Examine the stops that scare you
Take on the roads that excite you
Follow your heart compass
It will never lead you a stray
Plan out the routes
But don't over think
Throw caution to a breeze
A calm or raging one
Let it show you it's mystery
Soak in it's sunshine
Never let it be a cancer
There is only one direction
A direction of uncertainty
It gives the greatest challenge
But has the strongest reward
A journey of discovery
A taste of serenity
Draw this map proud
Shed your tears upon its paper
Give it direction Give it hope
See the beauty a map could be
Be free to believe and dream then set that heading for the rest of your life
Then pass it on and let others see a map is so easy to follow.
For I knew not what to do
I know not what was meant to be
I cast my soul upon the infinite sea
And what may come back is unknown to thee
For beyond the horizon is a field not shown
As I know not where I have been
I will not fear when my travels end
Or here behind my shadows grow thin
And when on some sunny day
I linger too long on the windows of worlds to see
I will see the sky reflecting beyond distant plains, evermore
For I know where I have been
If not who I was that day, so far away
My thoughts of you stray
As I cast my soul upon the infinite sea
And drift in the ebbs of time
I watch the world sublime
And wait for my soul to come back to me
