Voices


Silent screams
Rapidly cycling
Whispers of death and of darkness

The moon took possession
of the sky
a blank slate of atmospheric haze
punctuating
the seasonal sentence
of solar cycling....

Methods...
Of movement.
The flailngs of my mind.
Seen long ago,
And again...
I'm a contradiction of seasons.
A cycling paradox....

How old age and senile relate
Depends on cycling the flood gate
Forget zipper down?
Always leave it uptown?
Each a unique cognitive state...

Amsterdam.
Calm, gentle.
Cycling, boating, walking.
Tulips, cobbles, bakeries, fresh air. 
Eating, drinking, sight-seeing.
Modern, historic.
Holiday....

Our piano with silence speaks
The rickety rocking chair squeaks
Where Mama sits and stares each day
Music memories stored away
Our loved inheritance remains
Melodies cycling through our brains....

Father cannot go cycling as he is old
To him, his grown up son once told
"It will take you long to recoup
If fall down, you'll surely droop"
Father quietly prayed for his son to be bold.

I was cycling by a mountain stream
when a big Harley rider did scream,
he was mad that I biked
in the lane that he liked...
It says Bike Lane! Your a** I should ream!!


Actually happened this past weekend....

double underlined It

Oh, wait!
I DO have one.
Tried to avoid it early on.
Tried to deny it when it happened

the first five or six times.

Broken, healing, broken, healing
cycling up spirals.

Every wound scars over
with less rigidness than 
what got scarred.

How else could life possibly grow?...

Your breath
apon
my memories

Twirling
apon
loves weaponry 

Cycling
between
lying signs

Out of this
whirling
I have climbed

Your breath
apon
my memories

Spinning
apon
loves treachery

Blowing
between
hurtful rhymes

Out of this
tornado
I have survived...

I'm caught in a loop
Cycling around traces of you in my memory
I suffer the eternal entrapment that is you
I love you
And no matter my restraint
I can't seem to let you go
So I must go
Of to the edge of the earth
To the split in the horizon
The tip of happiness
Where I first fell in love...

Watch her ride.
Going on her own way.
Red hair streaming in her wake.

Watch her ride.
Still she wont stay.
Riding on till her legs ache.

Watch her ride.
Happy and gay.
Riding on with no mistake.

Watch her ride.
Simply for her own joys sake.

It rained into dawn
The flood today is old pain
The heart eroded

I wade waist deep in
I should swim better in words
The promise drowned there

Next time I will touch
And feel what the eyes will miss
Love in countless clouds

The rain will end soon
And feet make prints in the sand
Memories made new...

cheerless, wretched life
                      failure cycling
                   gaping rictus of
                 disheartened gloom
               preying on
             my soul’s regret
           faith chagrined
         headlong plummet
      into darkness’
    gaping maw
  I depart
oblivion...

On the tenth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me;
one dose of Covid, 
breathless and restless, 
tire and fatigue, 
loose bowels and sickness, 
sore throat and acne, 
phlegm, cough and sneezes, 
acute loss of smell, 
aches and pains, 
cycling high fever, 
and a lung full of pure misery....

Singing is my hobby
For it boosts me
When I am in distress
It gives me a great bliss
One can sing while at work
And cycling gives a kick
When one sings and pedals
Crosses all the hurdles
Kills my solitude 
Builds up my attitude
I love singing
For it keeps bringing
Energy umpteen
Day becomes a sheen..!...

UN learn!

Becoming aware of what,
These long white streaks
In the sky are?
Is like learning
To swim,
Or ride a bike?
Once your eyes
Are open!
You can’t 
Not 
See it,
Even if for that
You yearn!
Like swimming
And cycling,
Once you have 
Learned it,
You cannot
UN learn!
