Ready to snap if I counted more sheep.
I rose at the...

When Three Cousins Played
Three cousins played a “game’ of war
A map of Europe spread across the floor
No adults there to keep the score

Striving always for that finish line, and touring many places.

Manic By Design
Too fast! It hurts!
It travels at lightspeed!
Ruins calm. More than I need!

No reason. Life is just Titanic.
Too much to see, need, read.
Copious substance.
Im a...

When Loneliness Comes Calling
Our window bids good morning
as sunshine winks her delicate light,
cascading against crimson curves
as the yearning spoon is stirred

A slow descent of...

For security from the demoralizing night

For mercy to carry us back to our divine flight

We are all seeking for an abundant kingdom

And abandon all hope as you enter the doorway...

The Whiskey Burn and the Tequila Sweet

When you were a fledgling
The annoying crows of the big bird

Pressed on a black man's neck.
While the black man...

A Testament To Frailty
I lay within my bed, a testament
to frailty. The last lights of life
slowly escaping my sight.
As I wait for the inevitable

Looking back over my shoulders,
I gather that I have come
Halfway across the river of mystery,
And staring at me from behind my back
Were the sullen faces of all my memories!

Of your near and dear ones

The last calm heaves of my father
Without the slightest agony

Eyes half closed
With only...

A myriad of tears, from her baby boy’s eyes
A kind and caring soul, a gracious golden heart
