THE PEPPERMAN AND THE ANCIENT ROCK OF WISDOMI OPENED A DOOR
AND FOUND MYSELF ATOP
A MOUNTAIN PEAK.
A THOUSAND FEET
ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
OXYGEN WAS EXTREMELY THIN.
ONE MIGHT SAY RARE.
ONE MIGHT EVEN HALLUCINATE
UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS.
MY ENTIRE SURROUNDINGS
WERE COVERED WITH SNOW.
EXCEPT FOR A SIX FOOT
CIRCLE OF...

Spiritual EmbodimentI stroll down a quiet road
under the sun's brilliance,
huddled raven awfully croak,
little robins delightfully warble;
glad to roam where people don't walk;
freedom is found in some lonely place,
one may feel very alone and sad,
and stopping to...

The Lost Land Of Punt
Once upon a time,
There was a mysterious kingdom,
Full of green vegetation,
Rich treasures and exotic animals.
People traded gold, ebony,
Ivory and frankincense,
With ancient Egypt.
It was a prosperous land,
Thousands of years ago.
But then something may have happened!
In...

ABSOLUTE MYSTERY
I wrote this listening to “Marry Me”, by Jason Derulo.
Almost every day I wanted so bad to ask you,
But couldn’t guarantee that I might lose you.
Your answer could kill me, just like a soft mellow.
There...

In the blink of an eyeI blinked and rubbed my eyes, then looked around.
I wondered was I going crazy (like,
my aunt who lived in caverns underground...)
but no, the boy was riding on the bike.
One moment he was there - and...

THE HUMAN EXPERIENCERecognizing myself
this inner world,
that is responsible for all my thoughts, emotions, and feelings,
that arises unexpectedly.
I close my eyes observing these sensations,

Silently still until the last of...

Shoe on a LimbI felt I’d been to hell and back before we reached the reedy flat,
where the cattle mobbed before we crossed the stream.
Old Harry called me over, taking off his battered hat
“This is where she died...

HOVERING
some have delved
in the meaning of life
others
in the meaning of death
but what of
the meaning of limbo
that hovering
between
life and death
that state of
suspension
between
the two worlds
not ready to enter
not ready to leave

Downstream Time treads
Downstream Time treads tick-ticking;
Walks he upward to the woodland,
To hermits’ “Evergreen” bookstore,
To observe, to feel, and to be with.
Dreamy murmuring streams hum,
And mystic tip-toeing spirits hiss him;
Sooth the sweeping, balmy breezes;
And peace...

The Omen
While sitting in the parlor of our old Victorian home,
I watched a group of candles burning bright.
The tiny flames would hypnotize me, dancing to and fro,
I scarce could let their flickering out of sight.
Contemplation found...

Who was so classy like a bow

With a beauty from head to toe!

If Only IIf Only I
Don't you sometimes wonder
about what it is
They say you got it all
but there's something that you miss
That certain kind of sparkle
ignition to the flame
and whilest in sollitude
my days remain the same
How am...

CollectionShe collected her names, family’s names,
friends’ names, strangers’ names,
and everything which had a name.
Her mind was like a basket,
able to compress all the names to threads;
the threads were too many that they doodled
creating knots.
“I can...
