Expelling a sigh
the scent of your breath distills
a vapor of love...

Combo of rumours
As a hazardous minefield 
Distills rancid air

Castle of Dreams

Lutes and violins
Gothic dreams, pleasures of sin
Recited poetry
In my chamber of fire
Wine distills lulled memories
She evaporates
Into my mind...

When lips collide
as they are want to do
the tender crush
distills all to a moment revealing
what makes a man believe in heaven
is contained in her eyes
and released in her kiss...

  A wall impenetrable
    failure's entrance
  moist eyes note not
    the crevices

  Ever-present
    darkness, daylight
  concrete pierced
    with whispers  

  Matter's essence
    distills eventualities...

Writing the lines,
one word remains absent

To give the verse promise,
new voices to fill

Speaking my heart,
I pause before ending

Taking a breath
—as the silence distills

Heaven leaks the truth
  to writers who thirst

The drip of each word,
  filling line after line

All meaning distills, 
  when the words press together

The pages a vineyard
  —as water becomes wine

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)...

to feel the peace
that will come
in time

as life
settles down
from it's mad pace

when reason 
distills 
into wisdom

those sleepless nights
with fears
unfounded

for courage 
is what will bring
the days

in life 
when you can say
I'm happy...

Just a broken poet,
  at an A.T.M.

His stomach cries out,
  words hunger within

The nights are the longest,
  cold darkens and chills

Fresh words on account,
  new credit distills

Pushing buttons while bent,
  with hope standing tall

An answer comes back,
  ‘Zero Funds To Withdraw’

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

Guilt Distilled
 
I want to turn away
From all the misery 
But if I close my eyes
The guilt distills in me

And if shout about
All that I believe 
I sadly know by now
I’ll lose some family 

But if I turn my back
To that, that must be seen
Well, then, I risk it all
And lose humanity

Feel how you feel
As time now steals
Ere touch can heal
Age that reveals.


Know what you know
As grace now grows
A thrill that shows
How loss greets flow.


Be wise to face
The call of grace
Where poise of place
Meets sacred space.


Prize that fine feel
Where joy distills 
A poignant thrill
Of sheer goodwill.

 Along verdant hills , May crowns daffodils,
Where floral glow thrills as evening moon fills
The scent of air’s chills while robin blue shrills 
A music that instills  waves from grass on mills.

Petals dressed in frills reel like yellow quills
And laced mist distills…flaunting nature’s skills!

As the river cascades
From Himalayas breast
With all its puissance
And rage, it distills out
Along its way, the grail
Of love, service and faith.

It finds the fondness
That grows, in tandem
With the stretching course
Brimmed with beauty, it
Flows till infinite.

Tunes emanate
At each sojourn
Of cadenced waves
Those quench the earth.

It imparts
On mankind
Life itself 

Like a 
Caring

Mom

And I want you to draw!
No chalk on the asphalt.
And on a white canvas with yearning,
Got lost soul like a map.

And I want to kiss you!
But not in the cheek, and crimson lips.
I love you to no jealous
Distills thoughts tired.

And you want to give you happiness!
Do you know what a miracle.
Without emotional moments of participation,
Can not find your heart rest.

And I want you to draw!
The one that invented the tale of the night.
In his heart, a girl,
Thoughts paint themselves without paint....
