The reign and rain of terror
The year ends on saddest notes
of crying, dying babies in Palestine
and obstructed efforts
to throw them a lifeline
They ought to have long halted
this ethnic cleansing
of the indigenous inhabitants
Stop the cruel bombardment
of their...

The RidersThe pre-dawn stillness was temporarily broken by the sound of crunching gravel as boots meet rock like an orchestra of timpani drums, beating in unison as the wearers make their way to the iron...

Fantastic Flora MasqueradeCreeping creepy creepers, the crawling trellis
jutting out of everywhere
snaking through country and metropolis
twisting turning in floral bliss
but more like snakes that hiss
But in quietude feign death for self-defense!
Weeping willows with an unreal surreal sorrow
weeping...

Who am I...?
Am I the first born son, emanating from a fire of passion?
Am I the long lost hope, rekindled, ravenous in the eyes of my forebears?
Am I the caressed cocoon, spun out of love...

GoldIn times of trouble it outshines its glow
The supposed intrinsic value of its allure
Is a safe house in times of economic un-certainty
When money is being made but not through
Traditional means
The historian would...

A Salute To VeteransMy soul filled with pride and my eyes misted as the parade passed in review.

Please RememberWatching the small crowds of people declaring their rights
Guns on their belts in their hands yelling at Governors and pressing at policemen
Spitting at mask wearers, licking boxes and pointless fights
Indifferent to the sufferings of...

The Real TerrorThe necktie wearers, and flag pin bearers
Combing arcane smiles
With not one word out of place
Colluded to recreate
Pearl harbor's reincarnate
History's wounds slashed by new swords
A mirror of quondam contempt
Semblance of peace sat behind...

The MothWhat is mist in my demeanour,
makes me fray when I am touched,
the thread is just a little leaner,
when the rug is pulled too much.
Adjust the light,
reduce the glare,
the eyes will compensate the glow
with just...

Innocent LeatherThe wretched wearers of this mound of shoes who once walked free,
And enjoyed The Creator's munificence, life and pursuit of liberty,
Are now but scattered ashes with their shoes cast in a gruesome heap,
By ruthless and...

Whispers
The chamber is empty
And full of silence
Columns hold it up
Etched with scripture
The dead live here
Illuminating the walls
A line of torches
Burst with blue flame
In the very center
Resides a pentagram
Standing at each star point
Hooded devils chant
The silence...

Hats OnEnglish women love their hats,
From commoner to Queen;
If you watched William’s wedding,
Then you know just what I mean.
From wild and wacky to sedate,
The headgear called attention;
Most were classy - stylish, too,
And some defied...

A Zest For LifeI spent all day shopping for a ruby,
it's my wife's birthstone; nothing else will do.
And I wish to find a true paragon,
though flawless rubies are scarce and few.
I'm hoping for a pigeon-blood red gem
that...

I Can Hear the Children Screaming...Bitter hand, trembling digits. Light forbidden by the wearers.
Leaving that which is most sacred behind, taking nothing.
Falling from on high, no light follows when falling this far.
Not knowing what anything is, a pound of ignorance.

Too Soon GoneThe air drips over the lake
yet to be thundered awake.
Mirages waver.
Bare feet on black asphalt quake
Keepers on sand tractors rake.
That's summer's flavor.
Swimsuit wearers all partake
of young beauties and beef cake
as love is a...

Books Are PasseBooks are passé’, Grandma!
No one uses them anymore
Let’s burn them all.
It was one of the hood wearers.
The older woman was shocked to her core.
She had never gotten used to the I-pads, I-pods or I-phones.
Let me...

Sight UnseenMy glasses are for distance;
I remove them when I read.
I couldn’t drive without them, though –
That much is guaranteed.
Yet when I sit down for a meal,
My glasses have to go.
They bother me when eating,
Although...

BloodSo far, the reddest river
But does not flow forever:
A coursing through enclosures
Vessels furnishing closures…
For journeys should Heart Pump thank:
They would cease, if The Heart Sank
To be left a congealed mass
While owners eyes ‘doomed shut glass…’

Autumn FeetWhat do people like to wear
When temperatures are changing?
Closets in upheaval,
Folks intent on rearranging.
In this weather in-between
I look at people’s feet,
And marvel at the different shoes
I notice on the street.
Some are still in sandals,
All the...

Legislators of DrumDue process is never like

Of the gains from constituency

Of share and keep quiet

Opera In the ParkIt’s cotton sleeves and naked shoulders, since
the balmy southern evening’s close and warm.
“Aida” underneath the stars tonight!
Bassoons and oboes, eager to perform,
are practising brief runs. The moon is huge
against umbrella pines, and tiny bats

My Ruby SandalsI’d soon disappear were mine Dor’thy shoes,
Fitted glass-sandals in apricot hue,
When clicked together ask wearers to choose,
Any fantasized place where dreams come true;
Outer-space, maybe, might orbit me right,
Closer to heaven and farther from here,
And death-grips...

Who Should Wear a ScarfMale wearers it makes women by half,
Even the man with a bulky calf;
In my office won’t be excused staff
Save female ones, “You save me your scarf!”
Quickly change their sex some men can,
Wise debates on what...
