UntitledI sometimes feel like the razor sharp
of a bean tins'e edge
may one-day be my best friend,
I hate to feel like my venom,
can only be drained away
as I sleep well past Mid-day.
I hate the sight of red,
but its not instantaneously,
I lose so much as I bleed,
Its taking like a fasting,
I don't wish for pro-longed
of another sad...

DeceptionI’ll fall in love with the ideas you give
But never match the expectations you demanded
I’ll worship your existence and every word you say
And yet you’ll always bring me down to the cold ground

In Their ShadowAs good
as they got
Clapton
Allman and Page
Their music
still borrowed
the Delta
on stage
Technique
in the offing
devoid
of the pain
As juke joints
and crop shares
sing out
— in refrain
(The New Room: August, 2025)

Whispers Guide Me
Whispers of the soul,
Guide me through the night,
A hidden gem shines whole,
In this inner fight.
Light dances on my dreams,
Stars twinkle in my eyes,
The spirit gleams and beams,
As dawn begins to rise.
Whispers of the soul,
Guide me through the night,
A hidden gem shines whole,
In this inner flight.
Light dances on my dreams,
Stars twinkle in my eyes,
The spirit gleams...

The loveSilently, you gaze and cheekily,
and you pretend,
he doesn't look at you,
from gaze of his corners
and his expression
not momentarily
but too a simple wish,
as you blush head down
so silently,
being lovingly
sparks so fly
& notices
He wishes,
to feel your tease
and cheeks radiantly,
flushing like car fluids,
Dawn's not hung like heads
of a morning hunt
of the prancing rein-deers
being shot for just action,
for...

Two FacesBlurred, twisted in a pool of intoxication,
is my first face and I hate the bare controls,
I wish for no black phantom to follow me,
Its a shadow that's always in waiting......
My second face, I aspire to one day be,
its past the intense of burning trees,
and the world stirring up wasps and bees
and the inside out of...

The arc of imaginationThere’s beauty in imagining great things;
It lights our dark future with hope-filled dreams ~
Visions of peasants ordained to be kings,
And plebeians crowned as queens, so it seems.
It charts dream paths lit by elegant beams.
Imagination hears each scarecrow's groans;
It squeezes water from dry desert stones.
It carves deep oceans in hot desert sand,
Lifting us from known realms...

The RoadI started toddling at seven months,
Walking the roads as from twelve
Shaping my feet from sands and mud upon bumps
Frequenting the paths to hell and into which I delve
From the spittle of the seas to the flayed clay of aging silt
It’s the same old story frequently told in tears
Moaning and mourning are kinsmen in the compound...

Them and Us
You see the evil doesn’t look at all condemned
Those evil troublemakers of mankind
Are well remembered, way above the nameless dead
Who by the will of country rulers had to die
Because the actions, as you say my darling dear
Speak louder than words, and so they act
As if they had too little history in rear
So thinking they’re...

spitty splashing of pitty patter sun-washed lemons, spitty splashing of pitty patter sun-washed lemons,
the sun rises instead to the shade of the apple trees
Hello nuke in the sky, its an experience to say Hi,
cracking my last case of beer until ashes I'll die.......
wisdom dictates I'll be lost to the flesh as a fact,
among all the memorial moments as I pass away.

DAILY GRATITUDE ANTICIPATION
Today I’m grateful for anticipation…
that excited and happy feeling we get…
that smile that crosses our face
as we await a moment…a date in the future…
when we know something is about to take place.
It takes us back to when we were younger…
when we were little girls and boys…
when anticipation of the joy we will be feeling
was, itself,...

THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTICIPATION
May we all be blessed to understand
how important anticipation is to every facet of our life
from our friends to our family…
How anticipation of a moment
not only makes the joy of that moment last a little longer
But enhances its memory.

ANTICIPATION
We made plans to have dinner with our daughter and her family…
(It’s nearing the end of their summer vacation)
And as the day approached it made me wonder
how much of our life is spent in anticipation.
How life is a lot like reading a book…no matter what our age
We’re happy experiencing the moment…
while anticipating what’s on...
