viz avoiding emotionally volatile situations
courtesy mine trademark signature reactions

Sometime his days and plans are torn to pieces
Leaving place of learning without a backward glance
Onward to a School of not his choosing.

In a world where I do not exist,  
stars will still glow like sequins of lilac.

I walk towards you,
as you stand waiting at the center of the bridge.

Everyone had a sister or brother
The forever faithful friend
Who shares your heart and blood
Your hopes and dreams
Even your thoughts!
Except me

No familial relation to hold
To follow around or feel
Tagging at...

The Christmas Cafe

I scratch my nails
against my head
and 
ponder a while in thought,
but my soul turns bare

And Death twirls 
his curled hair. 
Taunting me

Caught between
the living and the dead....

O souls of the Island, 
I have silently 
heard through 
tropical torrents 
and surpassed 
a million miles 
of the milky seas, 
away from

silhouettes of my

as strawberry

coconut-scented 
musings called...

I am homeward bound
Lusty thoughts, for the love I miss
It’s a surprise, I am coming ‘round

In blackness,

Piercing screams slice the air
Creating a sense of joy with laughter
Coloring the moments in exhilaration
Left behind from some child’s imagination

Echoes of small feet darting and sprinting
Leaving stirrings of complete abandonment
