Demanding possession…
nine tenths of the law
Last bone to fight over
—its marrow still raw
(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)
so ten of your teeth were pulled
and now your mouth crown jeweled
you must think us daffy
you ate all that taffy
insurance claim overruled.
Unable to change the fact that there's this
Space which grows, slowly,
Between my arms,
I've found my palms become a silent pair,
A half replaced,
Until, again, they claim your shape.
twilight
maketh
this wall
that sparkle
between
you and i
and
if we
dareth to claim
this fabric
of the stars
walking upon
our wobbly legs
is what we
maketh of
this dawn
pause now to feel how our fontanel glows
along with toroidal heart all aflame
in wholeness of being our presence knows
participating in the divine game
as our soul’s anonymous claim to fame
Let us adorn our hearts with faith and love
For a place we to claim in heavens above!

The trappings of
a Poet …
or being a Poet
They’re each something
different
remote and distinct
The tweed jacket
wood paneled
image deceiver
Lays claim to what
only
—enlightenment inks
(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Who claim to love but build walls of separation,
Do not understand the meaning of love, at all;
While persisting in false expressions of the meaning
Of love, they thrive on their own self-righteousness.

Listen to poem:
Starlight is defamed
comets swallow their own tails
time folds entropy
shadows not now reflected
all applause rendered to void
In the vanishing
I stand stripped of flesh and bone
naked to atone
as a soul in reckoning
for what I've become, not done
Sometimes I don’t know what to think
When I hear your story, I’m almost convinced
Because I don’t have extraordinary evidence for my claims
Just a hazy memory, a gnawing feeling, and a name
When I forget and when I doubt
I close my eyes and figure it out
we are the authors of our life's opus
every scene and every chapter
we hold the pen as we record
history dreams and ambitions
stepping into the shoes of the hero
our integrity and pride on the line
one day we'll sign off on that final page

Once I didn’t think of writing a poem one day,
But a poem called me, in its own way.
If I capture the essence of simple speech,
Poetry punishes me, just within reach.
Let my poem be smooth and round like a bead,
Pure and clear like an autumn day’s seed.
If I flaw a poem with even a single stain,
It’s better to remain silent then.
Bold claim,
that kiss was just for fun.
Right now you are to blame.
Lips like a loaded gun,
who taught you how to aim?
Whispers
cocked in automatic,
you gave me the shivers.
Caught up in your static,
perhass we're both givers.
One night,
you said it was a test.
With the prose I recite,
turned out I was the best.
You love the way I bite.
Staking a valid claim
is important I hear,
if one would reap reward
for inventing a thing,
or getting an award.
Staking a valid claim
is good information,
protecting ownership
or creative effort,
a new computer chip.
Staking a valid claim
it’s so necessary
to protect what you make,
even poem or rhyme
plagiarizers take.

I entertain, insignificant thoughts
I feel, insufficient, pain
All of my burdens are my own fault
Or that is what they claim
Un-lived, unloved, un worthy being
Sheltered from extremes
A foolish child, kept from seeing
What heartache truly means
This life I lead, is just pretend
I’m a rodent, in this maze
My sacrifice, they won’t expend
They claim, I’m wasted space
The words in the melody
the words on the page
Related but different
the Minstrel and Sage
The music recaptures
what ink only starts
As harmony sings
from an angelic heart
A phrase and a lyric
as cousins relate
Too distant for brothers
too close in their fate
One soul with two masters
each fighting to gain
Your soul ever after
—your spirit to claim
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
i so
adore
those
lovely
eyes
you give,
girl shake
this...
this heart
of mine,
with-a
happy
smiling
twist
& kiss
of smooth
mintly
breathing
ease,
buckle these
lovin knees
and claim
my being

Form:
claim of warmth
Westward bound the swirls of white, the hale striking, flakes given white. The birth of winter, once again, blinding blanket, hitting with the wind.
Bird once colored with lust, now concealing, the pride of feather trust. The sheet continues its demanding, earth changing, frost deicing the land.
Grief given, once again, renewed calling, the claim of warmth, trusted friend, sun shining, come again. The glittering wonder, I miss you my friend.
Come, Yesha, claim what nature has given in full.
Freshly bathed I saw you
Soft unstained skin a-glowing
Stars twinkling in your hair.
How can I forget you look?
Those grey-blue eyes piercing
Through my desiring heart.
Your fuller pouty lower lip,
Inviting my upper to touch
Making me quite nervous.
I don’t need to get the tips,
Beautiful lips sink ships,
Increase one’s heart beats.
The recesses of my heart
Needs to feel throbbing
Come give intellectual touches.
You say you can do things, regardless.
That you can definitely, deal with the pain.
Able to face the total darkness,
the darkness, driving people insane.
Takes a strong will, an a understanding,
to drive, in the right direction.
Becoming defensive and determined,
despite the constant interference and inspection.
Than and only than, can you claim regardless,
when an obstacle is what you face.
For it takes, a higher belief in yourself and god,
to handle what is taking place.
This universe holds a legacy
Bearing your unwritten name
Stand up with passion and dignity
And courageously stake your claim
Stand up to claim your birthright
For it is greatness
Stand up to claim your heritage
For it is outstanding
Stand up to claim your entitlement
For it is exceptional
Stand up to claim your destiny
For it is commanding
This galaxy whispers your future
But your own hand seals your fate
Stand up with gusto and valor
And boldly lay hold of your estate
Christmas season's in December
Thanksgiving weekend's in November
The Playoffs claim October, Halloween aside
True-blue baseball fans all aboard for the ride
Combatants' senses sharp, nerve ends tingle
Concessionaire's cash pockets jingle
Green diamond fields - hoary haunts of yesteryear
Fading memories of heroes past - atmosphere
The tension mounts before each game
Players ante up for fame
Emotions yo-yo - stomach's butterflies
'Play ball!' the call ~ It's do or die
