Colors and paints; 
Rainfall on the plains.
Two girls Jumping in rain.
On a moment, felt almost 
True....

that picturesque depiction 
of beauty your pupils yearn for,
you will not see
from the atrocious abundant fog
that gathered and settled around your heart.

The beautiful
monarch butterfly
reminds me of a stained glass 
depiction of Jesus
high above me
on a cathedral wall
made blurry by the height
and my imagination....

Depiction of Trump

When Trump  we did create a depiction,
Many said he is a walking contradiction;
Never believe;
Does  deceive,
And always full of false news and fiction.

My love’s fictional
Truly once found it.
Fate’s casted its division.

My life’s depiction
Truly once manifested,
Time’s implied its imprisonment.

My world’s real,
Truly once serene,
Mind’s revealed its darkness....

The depiction
On every race spill
Isn’t it amazing?

Such divergence
That made us blended
Isn’t it beautiful?

How sweet it is
To paint such picture
Isn’t it wonderful?

Poetry is pure emotion
It speaks with pure devotion

It tells a story of feeling
one that can be quite revealing

Words that simply come together
Phrases forming without tether

A picture painted from the heart
To have all visualize in part

A depiction of our soul
A poem that makes us whole...

Divine mother has anointed
the Bindu point
that bald spot
at the back of our head

Bindu connects to the third eye
granting spiritual vision
toroidal heart holds erect
swirling energies within

this depiction has no purpose
being merely an exultation
of what is, as it unfolds
illuminating this organic shell...

A fictitious depiction 
 And a raunchy display
Introducing much suspicion 
Of what had really taken place

Excuses came in, sloppy
Inconsistent to say the least
The whole ordeal felt choppy
With a coat of thick deceit 

A shotty demonstration
To unfold before my eyes
And when it reached the end
Parted curtains revealed the lies...

I met this odd bald guy. His name's Frank
He has told jokes bout babies that sank 
By the quick count of three
My bleeding ears had fleed
From his quips like skunks I call them junk

I've met this girl of gold called Chelsea
Comes all the way from the windy sea
With her silly diction
As a gag depiction
Her words call for stand up comedy...

Startled by the hallucination
of himself upon the wall
The man of a compromised conscience
cringes with apprehensive velocity


Debilitating panic emerges
with a disconcerting air of predictability
Transporting him, intangibly, to a setting that prohibits
his own narration
Forcing him to endure his biography
without any preferred revisions...

Through a bathroom mirror
a naked ape looks
at its reflection.

Waiting for coffee,
reading fridge magnets,
I'm surprised how interesting
the world is
when stamped into rubber decals.

Until now I've avoided
talking to myself.
I nod at a graphic depiction
of pelicans crap-bombing California.

"Yea," I say, rubbing my chin,
"go for it."...

Depiction of the green surface
I see the diamonds
However, taken aback by the stench of death.
I am living today, so death does not succumb the stupidity of horror
In our world.
Why? Can we not see life.
A raining shower
A chord in E major
Strumming to the rain of the umbrella
A large mansion, all alone
I create a friend.
Instead of the stench
A living hero....

When not yet two, I stood transfixed before a museum’s staged depiction
of a cougar killing a deer. Terror filled her eyes. Blood soaked her coat.
My mother says it took twenty minutes to pull me away from that scene!

in my memory
death clings like a cougar’s teeth
on its victim’s neck

If I can count the number of times
I have lain on my bed
And watched
The raindrops fall
From the night
Onto my windowpane
As if they were my tears
Falling from my heart
And not the sky
Onto a grave
A depiction
Of loneliness and
Spiteful solitude
Then I would multiply those many times I have counted
By 735
And seal it with a kiss
And make merry of our love
Now and to come...

Lake Breaking News

Early this morning, there was a robbery
A turtle mugged a snail down by the pond
The shell the turtle jacked, was off the poor snail's back
and when he turned around, the thief was gone

He went down to the station, after much deliberation
And told the cops his story at last.
With such a keen depiction, they asked for a description
But, the snail said it happened much to fast...

Poetic depiction
prosaic description
Vowels come in colors
the rest black and white

They call to us orphaned
they call to us nameless
Our pens but a lifeline
that save with each write

To romance the serpent
to anger the saint
Each word symptomatic
our feelings acquaint

A bard or a preacher
their weapons the same
Whose caliber loaded
—to praise or defame

Shattered Obsidian
Depiction at present never 
recorded
Insight into the depths never 
possible
Understanding never feasible
Virtue of limitless love never 
envisioned
Glimpses the height of 
comprehension for most
Obsidian shell's razor edges 
protecting fragility within
Shielded scars deep behind the 
mask
Cryptic and secluded manner
Solitary existence paired with 
aversion to close 
companionship...

You have the Florentine beauty of the soul,

with pale fingers as if made of snow,
you play nocturne farewell melody
on my ribs as if they were a harp.

and your renaissance soul 
will conquer this simple one of mine,
and it will not remain of me
nothing but an outline in your past 
that will complete your Shakespearean tragedy.

A picturesque depiction 
of self-destruction, 
after capitulating to beauty.

A crinkled shore on the Upper Peninsula.
We are hunting Golden Eagles.

You find a small stone.
On the surface, a crimp and cockle
of wind and waves
has rucked an impression
of an eagle in flight.

“It's only ripple art, not even
a good depiction,
just water-wear. “
I say.

You throw it back into Lake Huron,
won’t hold my hand,
won’t even look at me,
until I admit the possibility
of divine crinkles....

Where ever in this world you might be 
I always have a home I my heart for thee
For daughter you are the greatest gift of this Father's life 
Unconditional love without strife
I have loved you since before you were born
And will love you till my life has no morn
You are fierce in your conviction
My life's greatest depiction
Like a light in a worlds fires burn
Watching you grow in front me is my greatest learn...
