Random Acts of Grace
I wonder if our reasons
for growing random acts of violence
are similar
to our dwindling random acts of reasoned healing,
kindness,
gratitude,
unrequited love,
uncommodified,
unconscripted,
unscripted,
uncontained
restoring cooperative ecopolitical relationships forward
not just because this is our right and healthy familial thing to do
but...

Something Beautiful
“Something Beautiful”
Something beautiful befell my eyes
yet inside the silent child,
The Unheard, loudly cries
ugly turn away,
I hear it,
it cries in the mirror,
turn me away -
it cries, yet I am that I am forthright...

Within the White Noise
Have you ever pondered
shadows are made of
softness, they are not
hard surfaced like
those of us existing
outside of the white noise
unable to grasp -
the invisible,
that speak meaning to us,
whispering their sagacious...

A Rich Rhyme
Louis Watson loved well made, toy ships, and had a fine collection,
Since father was a sailor himself. Like aged wind's novel directions.
Louis loved sailing toy ships on Crystal Pond, like gaiety filled youth.
He'd pretend they...

Friendship Lost
When times are good friendship blossoms
It fragrances all about
The sweet perfume of love
Let’s all about know
That no ill-will can see the light of day
Animosity can however set in quickly
Like a fast blowing wind
The sand castle...

And In the End
And in the end, we had become lovers anchored by memories,
stitched together with random bits and pieces. Two people who had run out of things to say, stilled by the emptiness of yesterdays and...

The Uncontained
he parlayed a condom full of nouns
in bold thrusts of the quill
for the para structuralist cadres
many of them freeway orphans
who won't even read a stoplight
on the other hand
there's a lot of other hand
upon hearing the...

If tears don't run salty into the bowl of lentils of life, you don't know the seasoning of pain
If tears don't run salty into the bowl of lentils of life, you don't know the seasoning of pain,
It's just a breeze, a transient wind over your infinite fields of indifference.
When you weep, tasting of...

The Hidden Woman
I’m tired of trying to tame her
Of needing to blame her
Of trying to keep her colors
Locked within the lines
The sad confines
Of this life
She is there
Always pushing my limits
She’s there
The real woman that I am
The real...

If There Was No Tomorrow
Your ebony hair curled and cascaded uncontained,
some swirled in the stream of craving squall,
some laced the lilting lattice of lust
on your forehead of ivory canvas,
engraving the contours of the evanescent charisma.
I wondered...

Teacher
I am who I am though much changed since.
Could compare a life to the changing seasons like the summer heat that dies fast
in the bite of October air,
or the colder December winds.
And very little...

First Cherubic Chance
This road is snake-like except
for the crusty scales of an intestinal
late dusk. A boy treaded on the
lane tracks lean and nomadic...
burnt shoulders grilled and toasted by
the sun, as if his coal skin sparked like

The Orange Cat
An orange cat slithers into
the middle of her empty lap
out of thin air, like orange juice
poured into a little tumbler out of
an enormous jug, holding more,
more, more of the same.
Cats have scared her...

Beauty
She stared into the mirror,
wished she could utter the Queen's request.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall...."
What was the use? She was not beautiful.
Nor was she rich. No plastic surgery for her.

Family Secrets
Rarely did the family speak
of secrets and knowledge weak and indiscreet
but as we all know, shared laughter and tears wept

For years, my aunts were mysterious

Eternal Embrace
The sea holds the moon, a celestial affair,
A rendezvous of light, a poetic declare.
Unbound, unrestricted, they dance with grace,
A symphony of elements, an eternal embrace.
The moon, a luminary in the vast midnight sky,
Drifting amidst the...

WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHINGS
WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHINGS
Darkness cloaked in innocence’s guise,
Wolves in sheep clothing, cunning & wise.
They prowl & stalk, in shadows they hide.
Their masks never fades, their true selves denied.4
Wolves in sheep's clothing, so sly &...

Gutter Pavement Runway Flight
They elude me now ...words
Drinking befits a drowning man possessed
Swimming off this broken page
Baton winning in a relay race
I breached the ribbon sliced with chest
Joy! I gasped
Grown tired of my own riddles
Those halting jagged lines
Conversely...

Every Poem Has a Story
Every poem has a story,
camouflaged, primped, made up and dressed to the hilt;
fill ins, understudies and leads,
are rehearsed, played, acted out and filmed.

Breathless - - - Once Again
tryptophan fills my veins,
lost in lingering lullabies-
i sort out what used to be mine
he was enchanting with evocative eyes,
feverish in tantalizing touches;
a fraction of forgiveness without
atonement made me weak-
and i am left
BREATHLESS
but
i am placid and...

Especially For You
Tunnel digging with warped minds
We meet right at the centre
Into the passages of rhyme
Joining hands as we enter
Through looking glass we travel
Along the course of time
Emotion spurred to ask you now
To be my valentine
