Long Twilight(a) Poems

Under the suffocating veil of dusk, where shadows whisper forgotten tales to the wind,
I wander the labyrinth of thoughts, a traveler in the silent chaos of my mind.
Romania stands immune to all my calls, a...

As your wish of Persephone’s homecoming

We prepare minimal harvests from upheaval
Lost cause is the aid from ill-advised panic, 

This casts doubt on her uncertain retrieval. 

Demeter! Eyes of own appreciate our harvest,

These distant fields furrow...

Loneliness 


In the dim glow of twilight, a solitary figure sits by the window, gazing at the fading light. The room is filled with the echoes of silence, each moment stretching into an eternity. Outside,...

In the twilight of thoughts, I wander,
A stream of consciousness, an open river,
Reflecting on the echoes of years, scattered and pondered,
In the labyrinth of time, where shadows linger.
We are always asked to understand,
To step into...

In ancient tales, a chapter unfolds,
Within the pages of legends old,
Genesis Six, where darkness breeds,
A haunting presence, the heart concedes.

In realms of twilight, a somber dance,
Where angels and mortals took a chance,
A forbidden union, divine...

“Life without colors is colorless” – poet

In a world painted with vibrant hues,
Life unfolds in a spectrum of views,
With so many colors, both bold and bright,
Each shade telling stories, day and night.

As the sunrise, aureate...

No one tells
(I should stop here)
…of shadows in the alleyways
believe me…
(you should)
that the fangs come out
at night
(never during the day)

i have to say
(you should too)
that the movies are too trite
with blood
no guts

no gusto by the...

I wonder if He is crying when the rain falls soft
Lingering beneath the twilight, a breathless waft
I wonder if, during the storm, when I hear His booming voice
Is He assuring me, despite the pain, I...

Steal me away to quaint St. Tropez
Where the beach beckons as does the sun
Take me away to Turquoise waters
Transport me to where my death can be done

I’ve grown weary...

A Time For Us, Again

Traipsing sunbeams pivots slothfully to moon gleams, 
steeped profound shadows to vivid flirtatious shades,
albeit, daylight or twilight, a time for us exists always,
feelings of our yesterdays, nothing...

My heart lays within the burrow. 

In the stillness of this place there is beauty, its envelopes the terrain. 

Softness is embodied in the rich colors of both shade and hue. 

Lush emerald herbage, grass...

With twilight a few days away
Answers were revealed in strange places

Alignment of the planets
A chorus only I heard

A coven of 5 female clowns
Holding hands in a circle
In the Walgreens parking lot
Slowly walking in circles
Chanting some...

A mirage of deathly shadow grates my mind…
flinging me out beyond a holed nightscape;
it traps my existence on chains  of insanity
as footsteps race against a tortuous wind
drumming, banging, yelling old sins;
and how it laughs...

They roam miles over hillsides
stride aimlessly cross open plains
and grassy fields
unseen and silent to all cept' those
who see with more
then their eyes,
hear with more 
then their ears,
and believe with more
then their hearts and minds.
Twilight,a gray...

my attention drawn to banks where willows wept.
Twilight, a melange of magical moments in my eyes,
usually interludes when twilight colors were windswept
just before the juncture where daylight slowly...

In golden years, where time slows its pace,
Retirement's embrace, a serene grace.
Beyond the clock's ticking, life anew,
Unveiling vistas, dreams to pursue.

No longer bound by the daily grind,
A symphony of moments, unconfined.
Wisdom gained, like a timeless...

The journey began a long time ago,
traversed life’s meandering lone pathway
across terrain of uneven plateau,
despite distractions I didn’t ever stray.

The sun shines bright in seamless cobalt sky,
colored canvas of contoured vale in sight, 
ripples of...

Near or far wherever I choose to go
No river I come across no cool shade
In light or dark I find only grey snow
In velvet leaf enters deep a cold blade

Whether at home or outside it...
