Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 28
Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

Zolar the Inet God
(after Edgar Allan Poe's "The Angel of the Odd")
It was a tidy day and I sat, replete, under vellux blankets.
Sadly, my tea was weak, the bottle of cinnamon whiskey
tantalizingly low, and my feet swelling above...

Love, Death, and Rebirth
The signs started in December
When she started waking up in tears each night
She was a normal girl with dark brown hair and darker brown eyes
She had plenty of friends and a loving family with just...

As We Metamorphose
Written: May 23, 2025, for contest by Unseeking Seeker
Line of inquiry:
“Being mistook, we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed”

I Breathe Poetry
(I am with my published four books of poems.)
I breathe poetry wielding a tool, mighty,
mightier than either the sword or rod.
I reign as an Empress in Fancy's domain,
sketching life in ornate motifs and mode.

On the Dock In the Summer
As the summer sunlight hits
the surface of the lake
I am transfixed by a million kaleidoscopic
sparkles making the water look like
a silver-blue satin sheet
complete
with thousands of winking diamonds
upon it strewn
like some cosmic boon
an ethereal treasure
a...

From Letters To Words
As the day dusked yesterday,
The deflowered sun shone down
with those eyes of a goldfish
'KATH’, got a light; 'EER’ lit a room;
And ‘AH’ illumined the night
No sound of a thing in your presence.
No bullet whirr,...

Lost Car Keys
I've never understood how things work
gears turn and cranks crank
circuits connecting and forming a link
all of this stuff is out of my reach
its all so confusing, fuses and plugs
that plug into sockets
and HUDS...

A Shy Shiraz
They say Cabernet Sauvignon pairs nicely with steak
Pinotage, they reckon, for cheese
Tempranillo is the choice for Mexican grub
But, I'm somewhat easier to please
I've tried a fair few "Reds", on a weekend night
While chilling to some...

Autumns Breath
I wander down the forest trails
the farmer collecting the last bales
golden brown they shine in the sun
the whirr of wings as birds escape the guns
The various gleaming colours of leaves
as spiraling down they twist and...

A Story Told
Dawn shyly appears above the sea's horizon.
She's wearing several subtle shades of pink.
Much softer hues than that of rainbow red,
a bold color that inspires poets to spill ink.
A pair of white doves fly across the...

Blue painted motored boats beacon,

May Memories of a Dolphin Sighting Boat Ride
Those wooden meant to for all season,
Blue painted motored boats beacon,
Us to calm green sea waters,
To sail on and that’s all that matters.
The calm green waters dolphin rides,
Deep inside when the tide subsides.
Eight pals and...

Magical Vanishing Memory Machine
Beneath a drop cloth
in the back of the mind
hums a machine—
gears oiled with old lullabies
and levers etched in looping script
you almost remember learning.
Turn the crank and out drifts a smell--
maybe floral, maybe musty,
maybe something...

Microlight
When they appeared, we were like, “What …the?” motorcycles
dangling from multi-coloured wings, animated comic book scene
blond wisps racing at leisure in deliberate mid-morning breeze
rainbow spectrum gone haywire, in the azure June sky
they were flaunting metallics,...

Stoop To Conquer
Limited is lower mind’s cognition
Yet it chooses not to, with heart confer
Pitiful’s become, our soul’s condition
Ego’s ignorance, casts on love a slur
Navigating life, like an amateur
When head melds with heart, erect is our stance
Surrendering,...

The Jungle

Dense impenetrable green,...

A Woman With Numerous Names
You are a woman, with numerous names –
Whore,
Harlot,
Courtesan,
Street Walker,
Concubine,
Lady of the night,
Prostitute,
a sex worker???
Bird of prey -
eyed by predator pimps,
numerous numb nights
spent in bleak brothels,
flocked like cattle in filthy sheds,
Time-etched face -
worn-out...

Morning Fishing
Hungry mosquitoes buzz around the brush
Early morning brings the fishermen to the lake
They burp and pass wind, kings in their kingdom
The smell of cigars and cigarettes lace the thick
watery smell of the lake
They are...

Odonata Anisoptera
Wings of irridescent hue
A body shining 'lectric blue
Multi-facet eyes that see
a world that's strange to you and me
Those compound eyes that give it sight
can see in ultra-violet light
They cannot see in yellow/red
but blue and shorter...

Poetry Machine
Whirr! Clank! Buzz! Clunk!
The gears of my brain seize up,
No longer meshing.
No inspirations, no images appear.
No lofty thoughts, ideas
Tumbling over each other waiting
To be brought to life.
No stream of poetic impulses flourishes,
No silver verbs or...

Translation of Aranjuez Lyrics From the Spanish Original, Sung By Andrea Bocelli
Translation of the Aranjuez lyrics from the Spanish original sung by Andrea Bocelli
Your lovely presence still lingers at Aranjuez
Aranjuez,
A place fused through in dreams of love
Where the whirr of fountains
In crystal
Make believe the waters chatter...
