The Onlooker
She watches the world go by.
Like Mama's soothing lullaby.
When lullaby delivers its goods; Mama's baby smiles.
Baby draws teddy closer; teddy dissolves into a smile.
Mama looks at her sleeping child; Mama dissolves into a smile.
The whole family is all smiles; time continues to go by.
But this is not the case for the pretty onlooker.
Her

The Onlooker
Why do you look upon me with reproach,
two-eyed fried eggs? I swear, only hunger
and hopelessness have led me to encroach
into the kitchen. The quite pushy monger,
who sold me a used cornucopia
from China, promised me a Peking duck.
Alas, a mustard and a cowpea are
all what drops out if to say “potluck!”
according to instructions… My

THE ON-LOOKER(ANY OLD POEM CONTEST)
I watched in awe
As the landscape transformed
Stone on top of stone
Cement wedding with the sand
Into executive apartment
And the towering investment
I watched silently,
As the sons of real men
Created the city.
I watched in amazement
The horizons disappear
Services all coming nearer
Simple plots becoming dearer
Up came the magnificent mall
So towering and tall
I watched quietly,
As the sons

Wanna Be Your Booming Onlooker Than Bankrupt Sponsor
Your beauty beats
whole lot said to be beautiful
why God seldom appears in public ?
God fears your decorum
outsmarts his glow
you gravitate everything
even the 'black hole' of the universe
your moves make melody in my moments
your eyes are my entrance gates into
deepest ocean to tickle the feet of the earth
tallest Himalayas to shoulder the stretch of sky
your glimpses

Guilty Onlooker
One day i watched a housefly perish.
A memory i'd never hold or cherish.
A soul escaped his writhing mass
magnified by looking glass.
I swore i'd seen its final breath
and knew i'd been its cause of death.
Insignificant i know God slap my wrist!
Oh lord i wish the fly swat missed.

Onlooker
You took notice of me
when I paid no attention
It's a question I know
you put some thought into
It was good how it was
it was more personal
I felt a smile the whole time
and it makes me wonder
how long it has been going on?

The Onlooker
My thoughts crawl
from the gray sky
and sigh through the debris of time
in not so steady form--
Like the muted shadow
in the middle of the road, like the gaze
of onlookers, who wondered
why I heard not the incoming death
