love is a lofty ideal 
croon of tenderness
sounds right, feels good
but how may we share
what we do not have

a hollow emptiness 
engulfs our body-mind
womb of space suffocates
we are uncomfortable 
in our own skin

being empowered
we pause...

Two dimensions
Two worlds
The world above
In which there is life
In which there is love…
And the world below.
This other world is a mystery
None dare go near
In the fear of what they might see…
Or what they may never...

SLIDING

i slid shy
through childhood
hardly speaking
in kindergarten 
building blocks
painting
sipping milk
eating graham crackers
was there nothing else?

first grade found me
a best friend
chasing each other
around penguins
bowing knees, praying

behind awful glasses
now i can see too far
the...

And a solitary moment, frozen and regretted, hangs in the air
The intensity could set a lawn ablaze; still the ice remains its frozen nature
Her eyes,...

Someone said, “Now you’ve turned forty-,
What have you learned?
Your experience must be varied,
Your fingers quite burned.

You must’ve gone through troubled times,
Of disappointments you’d’ve quite a share;
But how does life’s learning
For your future prepare?”

I looked at...

Full of many doors that we must open 
As we find our way through another day

The Kalahari 


Kneaded clay
Form creases 
The thirst of desert  
blinding dust and wind 
Collide of wave and tide 

Females carry the tribe 
Their large flappy ears 
Fan them cool 
Muddy pools 
Their sunshade and...

Cautious spirits test the waters of my world
and call to me....then go away.
Perhaps they are perfecting 
inter-mind devices, just like
psychic Edisons, Marconi's revenant
in breakthrough  just for me, or else perhaps
celestial wallflowers, much too diffident...

Our chemistry is magnetic,
I love to taste your lips.
The way your body feels so warm.
The way you pull me by my hips.
You pull my hair the right way.
Gentle, but yet rough.

She's so hard to love and cherish

Underneath their charm lies a deceitful mask,
Meet the manipulators.

They are deceitful.
They mislead to control other’s circumstances.
Their tactics can create feelings of sympathy towards them; 
As if they have an underlying pain.

Trust your deductions,
But never let...

The moon is ticking slowly now
You're dying for your sins tonight
So keep on praying for resurrection
Something in me didn't agree to skip this part

Be here when I ask for water

I would, but not now
My teeth sinking slowly into my tongue so I don’t scream at the baby
Milk all over the table, papers, dripping down onto the chair
I could, but I won’t

Life Lessons



Fate has many roads
It's funny how they intersect
You might know where you're going
But can't know who you'll meet
You can't see all life is showing
While only walking down one street


Don't lose your shoes, you'll need...
