Discomfort Notwithstanding

humidity’s heaviness . . .

Escape From the Pandemic
It's dead December, we're getting nowhere, ready
for vaccine like a starving tribe shoved from behind
under the bridge, kicking some dust along the way.

Beachfront condos shrouded in the early mist

their screeching waking sleepyheads

Vagabond Reveries
Vagabond Reveries
I awoke one apple-ripe autumn afternoon,
While shifting my necessity to care, dreaming,
To gaze upon the twisting trail in reveries of untethered reality
A quest for halcyon enigmas that chased me into cloudy castles.
And...

The Stone Man
His heart was cold, cold as stone as
he sat staring straight ahead. He
had white lines from squinting painted
on the sides of his suntanned temples.
Even the wide brimmed hat he wore
couldn’t protect his face from the...

Ancient Warrior
I see the wrinkles in your suntanned brow,
You carried burdens then; you see them now.
You’ve heard the cries your people who in pain,
Have shed their tears two hundred years like rain.
Your sad brown eyes,...

Falcons With Powerful Wings
This breezy island is often visited
by falcons with powerful wings,
as they display the swiftness
of their elaborate flights; on the gleaming sand,

Reflection
He stood at the Crossway begging for alms.
His demeanor looked like he was singing the psalms.
With folded hands, gazing at the sky he mutters.

Half naked, he sometimes sways,...

At last, a darkness filled the skies
Small tufts of dust, like clouds would rise
as the earth was kissed by welcomed rain
The rain at last, had tiptoed in
with scents forgotten, back again

The sea, precociously sails, toward shore.
A curious imp of a child is he.
The waves, like whirligigs, with laughter roar.

With the sun on my face, whilst i'm feeling suntanned.
