The Way
Wondering, pondering, contemplating
The moments when I’ve felt different
Because of my ideas, my dreams, my feelings
The way I think and the way I believe
Struggling to be who I am inside my heart
Instead of someone who is...

Fear of Ladders
One time, when I was about
eight or nine,
Poppa climbed up onto the roof.
He was fixing something
(I don't remember what)
but he called me up.
He wanted me to see
the sunset
uninterrupted by the houses
and trees of...

There was a man in the first book of the Bible
The one that we call "Genesis"
There was not one mention of his arrival
Because his story had little significance
The "Harry Pekar" of the ancient times

A Gentle Rain
While the dawn collects its rhythm,
Quietly protecting the whispers of a new day,
Tangerine sunsets composing chrysanthemum hymns,
Risk their gentling tones in rarest glimpses,
Through the silence, into the fated feelings,
Where truth glows and kindness flows…
Shadows...

Incorrigible Recalcitrant Doppelganger Mine
Incorrigible Recalcitrant - Doppelganger (mine)
Ala Goofus and Gallant
highlights my diametrically
divergent alter egos
always the reserved
obedient docile boy
afeared to stray outside narrow
circumscribed comfort zone
figuratively tethered
extremely short leash
choked me like yoked oxen,
albeit non red dually...

Elegy To Calafia, Part 1

the forest behind your back and...

June whispers secrets
In a gentle slumber, where the moon takes flight,
I lay my dreams next to her this tender night
June whispers secrets, in a voice so sweet,
A symphony of stars, a lullaby complete
Underneath her breath, a hush...

Questions
Who do you miss?
What makes you sad?
Do you walk with your head towards the sky
or bowed down
to the ground?
What do you think about before you slip into sleep?
Why are you here?
Do you remember the day...

A Special Place
I’m thinking of a place
with monkeys and a sled
A brand new jar of cottage cheese
just resting on the bed
An envelope with butterflies
upon the stamp it wears
A basement sitting at the top
of someone else’s stairs
~
A very...

Gifts of red envelope’s everywhere

Beneath the clay I eavesdrop hoarse echoes from a marigold world draped in marmalade felicity
I grimace as sandstone terra lets all its weight stack upon my rusty bones, buckling under the fire;

My Perfect Day
The sky of pink and orange tangerines
made me feel happy to be me today.
It was joyously warm, and the cardinals
were creating happy birdsongs.

twisting wildly maniacal posies
amid diabolically toasted brainstem,
angst uncompromisingly yanked tresses
purging stinging speech patterned rhymes

Never Told You
Tired of talking
‘bout weather
Other trivial things
Tired of talking
‘bout food
The price of tangerines
You may outlive
This aging man
Before I go

Never told you how
I love you
When I held you
In the dark
Never told you...

watercolor morning

it was a watercolor morning
the sky tangerine, punched with boysenberry

your tears delicious were it not for unbearable pain
i look back now at countless years
wondering ten thousand times over
