Before, when we were young; 
We were together all of us.. 
Awhile back when you were young,
I was youthfully older-We were
together back then as space and time 
had arranged.

As some of us were...

Attorney General William
Barr black marker in hand
kept promise to censor vital
details of Mueller Report
swift as Usain Bolt candidly,
grandly, lustrously, roundly

youthfully blocked out more
rapid than an elegant eland
vibrantly, regally, magically,
and gracefully skirts borderland
which favored topography
constitutes grassland...

WILD ROSE

The wind is quiet, wearily quiet this evening,
(and they say that winds do not age)
and I,
I am fondling the wild rose
with the inexplicable hope
that I shall find your tear on its petal.
Since you have...

Guilty of life once lived in sections,
drastically making changes.
Concessions to new obsessions,
suffering identity exchanges.
Revision life's only pattern,
inborn self considered a sin.
Wherever did the facade end,
and my actual truth begin?

Gale force wind on fire.
Searching recklessly.
Banishing...

Uncle Stanley so youthfully dressed...

I had a dream, one night whilst I was sleeping,
Within my dream I had driven my car off the road.
As I gained my senses, I looked around me, 
The passenger door open, looking into the...

Absolute Truth

What’s in a word that fades away in time?
Seldom heard like a masqueraded mime
What’s in a name that hides in the shadows?
Of feverous fame where poets compose

May we speak of love this echoing eternal...

For your youth is coming of age.

Falling from the rotten vine
Futures of grandeur, illusions of manhood
Snuffed out by his...

Those sweltering moments
Those summer days are coming.
Day by day, mind numbing
Silent cold is melting.

No longer winter, a lingering
Exchange  budding beauties
Memories of each snow flake.
Vernal equinox, and youthfulness

Is new to me youthfully.
Well anticipated is that...
