Soft Murmurings
Like an avian roosting when his cawing has spilled,
I mourn in grief as this shadowed night grows cold
Crushed and grieving from promises unfulfilled
Sorrow burgeons my heart, in bitterness enfold
like unspun wool on a distaff or a poem not quilled
I am overwhelmed with fear; somberly weeping
beneath my rowan tree. In dour thoughts, I dwell
Wisps of silver

Murmurings
Murmurs and mumbles
are sounds mimpathic.
Uttered with sympathetic feelings,
but without the guttural loud utterings
that empathy with heart-felt solidarity
and compassion demands.
Mimpathy falls short of full-throated emotional support.
Mimpathy is standoffish aloof and half-hearted.
Murmurings with mimpathy
are rather pathetic.

A History That Breathes
History breathes as we awaken into each new imagination.
Did you think this was a life? It is the seed of every growing.
It is the wind and sand and rain storming. It is the pebbles

Murmurings of a Lone Man
The words of a lone man
The ramblings on a bench under a tree
The ducks and the geese looked on
Fed with his scraps, with all he could give
Murmuring thoughts
Murmuring truths
Murmuring reasons
Murmurings lose
Under the facade of a poor man
A man living on the streets
I saw the eyes of a cold man
I saw scars on his cheeks
I asked

Murmurings 2
Dewdrops on grass verge
Morning apparitions;
Welcome for sunrise
Two stray cats
Territorial panther black;
Tiger shades strides proudly
Old house by stadium
Looks lovely by road view;
Memories return like spring
Son and new daughter
Marriage works well;
Relatives celebrate union
Morning appertif
Lemongrass and ginger;
Brilliant concortion
Skyscraper sentinels
Stand guard silently;
Real estate prices escalate
Glimpses of Nirvana
In the Here and Now;
Just raise awareness
Like it or not
Karma is a-happening;
Cause flings

Murmurings
Two young lovers
Seeing eye to eye;
Ecstatic romance
Promises made
Language of love;
Reality can be harsh
July sun-bathing
Local fruitage surprise:
Durians, mangosteens, rambutans!
Two yellow butterflies
Zigzagging flight path;
Bourgainvillea landing
Sweet nectar sip
Momentary focus;
Long haul to tall casuarina
Old banyan tree witness
School boy quarrels echo;
All gone away
Time passes quickly
So many ambitious kids;
Now preside over meetings
Old school mates
Chance encounter;
Discuss happenings
Witty old father checks
Vivacious mother
...

Murmurings
Moon glow magic when all seems dark;
Orbs of moon drops to guide stray night;
Opt fond mystic that surge of spark;
Note how work stops in sleepy light.
Make what you will of luna chimes;
Undo the stress of day time deeds;
Reach to be still as silence primes;
Moist dewdrops press upon old needs;
Under the stars in deeper space;
Rest seems

Murmurings
The sounds of past faults
Hanging in the background of my mind
Moving through the atmosphere
Not concerned or even kind
What consumes ones consciousness
Others seem to not care
Always present even when forgiven
To much to bare
Attaching itself to the heart
Manifesting a dull pain
Lurking behind happiness
Reviving the lucid stain
Murmurings are not even consistent
Stories change
Remnants linger
Memories fade
But
