Date:   July  2049

Early morning combinations 
Personal hygiene conversations
And kisses in most of the Hakim

Nostalgia and age like bacon and eggs,
With buttered toast and jam on the side for breakfast;
And coffee, and a glass of orange juice to drink,
And a memory in-between to rethink.

I stood on the bridge looking at the river below.

That is what the strange man...

1.
2..
3...
14….

.
Slowly, she opens her eyes, staring at the floor, too scared.
She glances at her shoes, one is half off, they're both scratched up and untied.
She says it's okay,...

No dear
Make the date for the tea
Friday at three
For the moon will be
At the windows
At the wee hours
And it will be the full moons
We will pick up as much as we choose
With the scarlet spoon

Monday...

He entered the dark house 
	through the unlocked kitchen door, 
	his house until the separation,
	found his way 
	down the dark hallway

	hid in the closet, 
	the door slightly open to 
	a...

Late to the party we arrived at seven
At least we showed up before eleven
Sweet Ginette, joined us both at the door
A bottle in my hand ready to pour

Off to the kitchen to see the Birthday...

(5/24/12)

The fog moved slowly across the ground
Like a cat on the prowl.
Everything was as quiet as can be
Not even a rustle in the trees.

Out of the mist she walked slowly towards me
Her eyes was the...

A shower came, but left too soon

The Fragrance from your flute
Wafting in the air
The powder of morning in your hair
And the Robins in their throat

In your smile clouds float
Red and pink layer
Golden alphabets stare

The river flows on
Sprinkled sun melts in water
Inflammation...

I shed, today, tomorrow’s tears. 
They flowed unseen within, 
yet tarnished still the golden 
final time together – not weeks, 
nor even days, but hours, 

the minutes pressing in tight embrace. 
Were it not for...

I Remember You

Yes, I remember you,
the dark-skinned girl,
dressed in tight corduroy, 
unzipped on the floor there.
You were my lover that night in 1970; 
We were wrestling 
so smoothly, so passionately,
in the old brick house on...

LOVE THEM ALIVE...

I write with hot passionate streams rushing down my cheeks. 
Have you taken out time however minuscule
To contemplate the Romeo and Juliet that set your life's stage
You ever paused to ponder the mystery...

my heart was beating like a jack rabbit.
You looked at me with those provocative eyes of yours.
Then you told me “take off your blouse”
I thought I’d die. I watched your...

I remember
I smiled once
You had that affect on me
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Being with you was my ecstasy
Time stood still
You were like a happy pill
Or at least until
You became a yesterday

You took...

Anticipated for, all of a sudden
I had to lay a grip on my hat
And hold close my unbuttoned button-less jacket
As the old ladies bend over for the swift of the dress
And young ones reach out...

One day you will remember me,
Those tears I shed for you on the
Altar of love to be seen by all.
We were never insane of love!
This is the reason we should learn to

Standing before the microphone,
blank faces stare from cushioned chairs
Jewels sparkle, acting like they’re real,
while bow ties just seem sad…it happens

Marching to the beat of clicking heels,
unbuttoned vests as strange eclipsed spotlights
illumine smoke swirls in overhead...
