Son Say Goodnight To Grandpa
“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”
Spurred by mother dearest
as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.
Back in the day

Quiet Benediction
spring blesses with scent a mind
encased in February’s mummy-swathe.
I drop my rags of winter
stretch out on the warmed porch
thought steps lightly on to a carpet,
woven of mist and aromatic perfumes,
which glides silently...

What the Hell Are They Thinking
The grand, half-ruined Parthenon,
once a sublime, Doric grace,
Even now, in broken, stone blocks,
always takes my breath away.
The rich, classical detail,
fluted columns without plinths,
to imagine what it once was,
the mind can’t even begin…
That towering Coliseum,
the great...

Spring Reborn
The vigilant Knight of Winter stretched out his frost-lined hand
Gauging temperature changes over the desolate land
His trailing snowy mantle skirts the overhanging bower
Welcoming dawn's re-emergence this sun rising hour
Solitary Knight no wish to remain
Sentinel to...

Love Laced
This is a dangerous man. Seduction‘s tendrils lace
thumbs at collarbone, his digits wind round behind.
Manicured, long, clean…fingers, made for face tracery,
pulling back shoulders and raising crest-capped peaks.
Thumbs at collarbone, his digits wind round behind.
Soft, full,...

There are certain smells, sights,and tastes,
which will always remind me of Grandma.
The yellow of freshly molded butter;
thin, floral china tapping on a white porcelain tabletop;
the frail softness of my own thin skin,
veined now with the...

Lux Nova

The light at Suger's

Paints both floors in color.
Transliterated from the glass of guilds
Tracery and mullions

A story in late winter's light
Perhaps enough, barely enough
Enough of an...

Marriage of Dysfunction
Ah you and I; such an unfathomable affair,
So contradictory to logic and reason and safety –
In being together we have thrown all caution to the fickle winds,
We have bound ourselves together in...

Onset of Winter
Wintereinbruch / Onset of Winter / Inicio del invierno
Tage verschwimmen im Nebel.
Eisblumen malen Gesichter
an die Fenster
und die Zeit steht still
wie eingefroren.
Lange schon verstummte
der sommerliche Vogelgesang.
Der kurze Herbst
hält noch die bunten Blätter

Campfire At Night
To gaze into a campfire at night
And see nothing…
For the common man
Is an impossible feat
For one’s primal brain (not unlike a moth)
Is drawn to the flame
And will command no less than
A front row seat
One’s mind...

Gate
The gate to the old cemetery is rusty and old,
though once upon a time is was elegant and gilded;
ornate with filigree tracery ornamentation,
now, it is decaying, fragile, yet still beautiful to me.

The Carrion Tree
–For Burns
Hanging from its branches,
The tree bears them like glorious fruits—
Laden with corpses rotting: old and new.
Their eyes glazed over, forever spewing agony—
All in various stages of decay;
Dripping blood from their slick...

Tracery
Bejeweled, in and out of the Gothic architecture,
Conceived by Abbot Suger, through a constant conjecture;
With perfect glasswork etched out of the then-time silica,
Found its place In Saint-Denis Cathedral Basilica...!
Modestly outsized splash-smeared gorgeous goblet casements,...

Dandelion Roots
She has a tumbledown deck, a creaky rocker.
Dandelion seeds carry memories
from one neglected garden patch to another.
She’s not old, but her wine has mulled,
the sun has scoured her face into a tracery
of twilit paths.
There were...

Filigree
Filigree
Celtic Filigree
Graceful filigree unbroken
Weaves a tracery
With strands entwined
Like a whisper from the misty isles
Woven into whorls of melodic unity,
Indivisible spirals of the eternal three,
Thin harp strings of crisscrossed swirls
Weaving lyric filigree
Delicate fine threads elaborate
Earth,...

Winter Fog
amorphous creeping, flowing fog
a living wispy presence
directed by Aeolus whim
searching for substance and form
to grasp and entomb
finds unresisting, sleeping shapes
in gray shadowed forest trees
reaching and waving
in the early morning cold
with gnarled fingers...

Look for me where stars collide,
somewhere in the great divide
betwixt and between the here and now

Starry Fabric
All nature’s linked, the heavens with the earth,
in star formations, gas, galactic dust,
elusively in roles of death and birth
however random seems their wanderlust.
We peer in space with telescopic sight
that oft may miss the tracery that’s...

Reprise
Against the depthless blue
Backdrop of the sky
A tracery of bare brown branches
Feathers out above,
Dipped golden by last rays
Of the declining sun.
But wait!
The show’s not over yet,
For as the sun
Makes its final bow,
A grand...
