Embarrassed of her age and getting no praise,
she cut her gray hair with a furious face;
oh, it seemed the color of glittering gold
strewn with silver curls! What made her think
she was unattractive and way too...

Chicago.
Wish you were here.
Walk with me in my heart, My Love...

I was expecting more noise on a Saturday night,
But the wind wasn't even up.
(I was expecting more wind, too!  First time here.)

But the only...

Big Marty Milano

Blue-veined sausage nose
slightly off center
toward the right side of
a florid cop face
white-gloved hands
directing traffic
to the piercing rhythm
of staccato blasts from
the black wooden whistle
clenched between his teeth

everyone called him
Big Marty Milano and
he conducted a...

To bask in limelight’s fun

A Night of Dreams

Will I ever know the joy of waking by your side,
refreshhed, revived from what we did the night before.
A meal with wine, conversation with cognac,
that smile, a touching of hands, a beginning,
the...

White grains for brains
His thoughts are anointed seed
Spirits germinate where gladiators once fell
And mere mortals can taste a drop of eternity
Occasionally, like rice
They give rise to empires

He sighs warm breezes
Of ever green forests and blue...

He played the cello with such finesse
Clutching his instrument tight to his chest

As if he was channelling his very own heartbeat
    In every stroke ~ in every note

Imagine...

A symphony orchestra,
all the greats,
the legends,
the masters of the universe,
playing...

...a perfect piece.

BORING!

Perfectly executed, 
flawless, pristine...
but dead.
Empty.
A sterile echo,
a ghost of a melody.

Now imagine...

A kid,
scruffy,
misfit,
with a guitar older than time,
a cracked voice,
fingers fumbling on the strings...

...but...

You're a beauty 
A sexy something and  quite a cutie 
Baby you know you're my sunshine 
Even in the  shade

You make my good times
I'm squared away
My elation this election 
My selection 

Endowed conversations...

We love our lively violin
And play it again and again;
Both of lips will have to wet
Then clearly can play clarinet.

Sound of instruments with string
Down whole house will always bring;
People gather around us in a mass
So...

Lively refrains of a sweet melody
Frenetic picking of a banjo plus three
Piano player with tips in a jar
Head shaking boys playing screaming guitars
Symphony orchestra, soft brass and strings 
Meditation rhythms with hums and pings
Amateurs on...

BE CAREFUL      

Be careful what you ask for
One day life is simple, you ask
a female colleague at a partnering
organization not to call you “doctor”,
“professor” and such, then she says

Down where the Jasmine grows wild
Gracing the woods with yellow light
Wisteria turned loose romps through trees
Climbing higher cascading scent on midnight breeze

Night is dark for waning moon is covered in mist
As crickets' symphony orchestra entertains...

The city in the summer nights,
Beats a steady drum rhythm. Slow

Living does RHYME with time. 
Strange be a drastic decision
Proceeding without permission.
Bad luck? Nothing but superstition.

Lying leads to reprimanding in. The 
Lime light to pretending.

Love...
