"The Pages"
Missing all those years
like a page you could turn,
a book you could throw casually aside,
to be eternally forgotten in electric shady libraries;
at some point you turned around,
and remembered, what you long...

Demise of the Frail and Assail of the Skies

But the wind wanted to blow
“Rest now bird”, said the wind
“You now take it down slow,
And let me flow.”
The bird accepted thinking it was a request,
And ignored the proud in...

Revolving Rivers
In backyards of my history
lies a tidal river
of ebb and flow revolutions.
These revolutions are normally no-news evolutions
back up toward headwaters of crisis and opportunity,
diastatic and polyphonic purest capital boundary roots
for future's river flow investment
out-flowing down
from...

The Stricken Corridor
Fall tumbles relentlessly on our door steps
young winter birds inducing provoking sounds scamper in trees
Watching winter crawling slowly under our feet.
The night rain wet the ground with sadness
washing away the environmental stench

Ballad
A Night With Mic
The scent of musty, truly ancient fine books,
Waifs seductively behind the impossible doors,
As they swing wide, out into L.A.’s balmy air,
I enter, a shiver, over what lies therefore.
There they are, the true Hollywood stars,
Scaling...

Barnabas Oral's Sightless Game
He plays throughout the house at night
a braille touch for his lack of sight
and dreams of all the crippled things
with broken legs and shattered wings.
The bandage on his wounded eyes

Desolations Midnight Snow
It falls softly as it tumbles...
Down from the sky darkly...
Deep in the heart of midnight.
Not a deity stirs at this moment out of time.
As young eyes stare into the void of an empty room.

Beauty At Its Best

Love is like a rose that glimmers majestically
It's like a tender dove that flies so beautifully,
For it gives me some peace that runs through my veins

Seasons
Spring — a life anew
Prodding rays of warming glow,
sunshine.
Crusted ice and snow
slowly melting into trickling drops.
First to bloom
a crocus blue, a tulip tries to rise.
How long the wait
and freezing rain
chilled the weary bones.
Heat up...

thus robbing man of his Promethean fire,
till his nature, overcome...

The Navy Pilot's Lover
Sitting on the rooftop, wavy hair billowing
In the wicked wind, fluttering away like herself
She clasps to her neck the silvery heart-locket
Before looking down from her shady alcove
She has no more time to waste, and, deciding...

Sailor Groom and Mermaid Bride
A thousand tumbles takes a bottle in the sea-
a thousand tumbles and whirls and swoops.
A million grains of sand takes that bottle in the sea,
to break apart,
and fragment like a snowflake fractal.
How many waves carry...

Truth
Bold as the lie that says –
Authenticity isn’t blessed by the truth,
Who exists in reasoning, thinking…
Outside the box, beyond the echo of light,
Despite the shadows and silhouettes of night…
Thinking, like the reflection of a heart...
