To warm up heart, in hope of sun,
Dry all my nagging doubts to dust,
Scorch misunderstandings to none,
I waited with hope all undone.
Yet, not else can man do but hope
For his long...

MirageO search not for a rare applause,
Beware, life is a thankless stage—
It's vain, a loud uproar to cause
On this voyage of pilgrimage,
A puppet you are, caught in cage.
Vain to think you’re a great actor,
You know...

Friendship and CoffeeSaturdays, together, drinking coffee
stoking caffeine, we held life in our hand.
Looking back now, our dreams were too lofty.
With rich-bodied coffee, we saw life's plan
as one of beauty in a magic land.
Koffee klatches we lost somewhere...

Awaking From Stupor
Our consciousness can be trapped in a rut
of following paths so sadly worn out.
From gladness to sadness, hearts are somewhat,
together with souls, from joy turned about-
in trampling new seeds to wake up and sprout.

Come, let me take you on a flight,
A kite told thread, I’ll help you fly,

My Daughter
My delight at the day's summit
My strength when despair looms
My happiness in every season
My daughter, my life
The morning sun's gentle rise
The rainbow midday's grace
The stars in the night's embrace
My daughter, my everything
Your lullaby...

We Gained Saint, Lost MotherSaints seem to shine from far off sphere,
Canonized they get a halo.
Teresa, ere a dear mother,
Now hallowed, shines— pink to yellow,
From unknown spheres, not Earth below.
And if one gets in mind nigh...

Fury, A Shy MaidMy anger when watched all but nude,
It soon beat a hasty retreat.
Fury’s a shy maid in black mood,
When exposed, ogled at, would quit,
Feel helpless, void of all her wit.

From a game of kicks to kickbacksFootball, for long a game of kicks,
To viewers oft of bare fists, bricks,
At times a show of gun,
At others filled with fun,
But now more of kickbacks it reeks. ...

COME JANUARY, YOU WILL GROW STRONG
Late December dreams clinging to the vine of January
a quandary thought of curiosity arises, when will it?
Over-due vision boards sit on our desk's usury
end of year expenses, alongside the what if's...

Contemplating Christmas Eve
The gifts are wrapped and ‘neath the tree
in brightly colored bags and bows.
I now sit back, my mind set free
to contemplate these thoughts I chose
and share this verse I now compose.
‘Tis quiet on this Christmas...

Like locustI’ve heard tale; Doc, told Wyatt he was an oak,
much the common; desire of common folk.
Fur, me and mine, such lies; out of focus.
May your purpose stand like ours; like locust!
