Technology's progress  
  AI's a success

    We humans regress

Wind wails the egress of a soul that departed to the unseen world and for a body that lies six feet under the ground until someday reunite with the loved ones in paradise or hades.

Senryu 
Now… the perennial 
Wait for its appearance
And it is vanished
  

A day in April 
I locked the garden egress 
Flowers bloom in peace  


After all hardships 
Sailing on uncharted seas 
We found our childhood....

In stalwart meadows
stout egress, god wiz ingress
locum hope in spring

I purposely avoid
   all words to impress

No ‘genre’ or ‘penchant’
   ‘couture’ or ‘egress’ 

The meaning embodies
   what each letter foretells

To be spoken forever
  —beyond heaven or hell

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)...

gate
level, fixtureless 
owing thrilling curtailing
snippet, delusion, lodge, sheath.
splitting, carrying, delaying.
askew, clockwise
egress

Sitting in the middle of the road
Surrounded by the cyclone of traffic
Whirring in opposite directions
Windows closed, eyes front, minions
Mindful of the presence of one
Misguided middle of the roader
Unable to understand the
Urgency of either side

Our bells rung 
Our books shut
Our candles blazing

Water will not protect us
Nor houses keep us safe

Love knows no impasse
It's egress assured

The coldest cockle warms
And the most brave shudders

Love demands submission
The answer is to bow

For we revel in its fetters
Delighting in our erotic machinations...

I found a place 
in the middle of the trees 
with a thin asphalt egress 
that made it easy 
to cycle to the village. 
I was surrounded by 
the aliens of the earth 
with their secret languages 
and concentrated lives. 
I truly lived among strangers, 
not those wanting to know me 
or able to know me. 
It was like the world 
before I opened my eyes. 
It was here and far away....

He bade him well and caressed the sea
Their lips deplored and pined prithee
As hearts had quelled and tidings lorn
As romance sailed towards love's newborn

Once a dream had therein seen
Entreats that time which charm's convene
My soul entreats and whispers why
And the waters take my once forby

For towards night's nigh
Where
wind's winter gales
For which dance's die
As passing passion sails...

eyes have become
resolute,
wandering the walls
and fixtures


roaming epoch,


hands that mercury envies
read the craters,
and each aperture glows


with sterling egress,


lips part as two half’s 
of miracles,
and the first tide


rolled to birth,


as quicksilver lies with 
the stars,
cannoned beauty falls


in silver ribbons,


writhing bound
and full this night,
eclipsed


in sheets of moon...

fisherman's wharf bound
undressed thoughts
on the verge of egress
immersed in the aftertaste of your salty  
air
 
shimmers glisten off the mound
and I feel
pretzel'd

your chest cavity
ripped opened  
listening
to my sound
 
echoes beat where midnight lasts
beyond the howl of one beast
 
I scalp the frost from your windowpane
and tongue out the truth
leaving lasting memories
of the only pleasure
that was meant for me...
