I opened Paris' letter and cry


my heart dropped
my fingers trembled
I opened Paris' letter
mama it's been three days ...
then the dam burst, 
not the happy kind
unregretfully
the kind that spells gloom
sobs of tears roll down my face

Scathing these miscoloured orbs of sight, with incised rocks carved beneath

Concretionaries jagged edges of contagiums....

Painted upon the predominating canvas of perceptions dank, pasteled times!

So what has changed, this mosaic of histories collective collage?

You should offer more.
I'm frustrated. Disappointed. Angry.
You pursue your denial.
Instead, you should acknowledge me.
No matter what you believe.
No matter how long you wait.
I won't call you.
I detest the taste of your bait.
I hear nothing.
Weak messages,...

The spheres of which I confront and question now

WHITE SHADOW
-------------------
Cornered in opalescence
No walls to be found
The abyss its residence
The address unknown

Its countenance clear
As frozen solid stone
Collaged in aqueous blue
Painted misty gray

Its irridescence seen
But presence unseen
Epitomizes the trace
Of a fallible illusion
Portray as fumes of
Charcoal...

My life is a mural,
viewed through stained glass.
Each scene seen
a different shade from the last.
I am not an island,
rather, a jigsaw mountain.
Comprised of many pieces,
navigating each day bounden.
There are pieces I bring to work.
Others still,...

(Dedicated to all those who have died alone.)


They cannot fit, they cannot go along,
and the reasons are wide: pride, fear,
even love never tempered by time,
illness of the  heart or mind, or simply

the carriage of fleeting time 
can’t carry my soul away
from the adoring life in the present

where everything acquired 
gets abandoned in obscurity.

Samson so loved Delilah
He ended up grinding grain.
Anthony so loved Cleopatra
He lost all and was slain.

David so loved Bathsheba
He drifted from God’s command.

drawing inland sweet hint of windblown fresh
awakening the breaking surf’s curled sighs

Like rashes, lonely frail but gigantic when unite,

Words carrying meaning in accord with linked dialect,
Languages holding cultures but biased,

Sends a message that makes the lights grow dim

This disaster and all its whims and trends
