new year first breakfast
 yawns exhalations dissolved 
in hot tea vapors...

Sufficient words cannot be found,
nor poetic lines penned-
to capture the beauty 
of this winter night
so majestic and still.
Overhead, a starlit sky
scintillates like black ice,
while underfoot sparkling
snow quilts the frozen ground. 
And in-between air so cold that
exhalations transform, into
frozen shrouds that sublime
away in a crystal cloud....

oftentimes i ask myself 
why i focus on what i have been through
people oftentimes ask me
why do i always talk about what i have been through
life itself is plethora of testimonies anyway
i find easier and manageable exhalations when i tell my story
when i think about the remnants of the work it took for me to pull through,
the best thing i do nowadays is Give God The Glory!...

Listen to poem:

I breathe in your out breath
exhalations spare from death 
mouth to mouth resuscitation 
my existence just a fabrication
   drumming on the optic nerve
   become part visceral part verve
   with electrical impulses sparking
   hand on heart as it's restarting
rebreathing hours they are numbered
time elapses become encumbered 
stop when world begins to spin
I regenerate as I breathe you in

I went down by the river 
just the other day 
I sat on my favorite granite 
as I gently caressed a kyanite 
I listened to white rushers 
splash against steel grey rocks 
I graciously engulfed the refreshing 
mist from below 

Now,

Deep,

Deep inhalations 

Then restorative exhalations 

A peaceful calm is found 
A radiant ray coyly appeared 
through the pines 
Now sweet melodies of Georgia 
are on my mind...

A pond quivers in demure gusts,
cygnets of morning light undulate 
with lithe ripples.  Winter thaws,
the sun arcs over feathered rainbows 
as ice sculptures bevy like water lilies
on April's frigid cobalt.

In abrupt squall webbed feet prance 
on a mirror, capturing saffron exhalations 
of rapt poppies, a wild umbrella splayed 
like tumultuous cumulus, ending a reflection 
of snow angels promenading 
in boundless cerulean....

An opened fifth of hangovers
rests beside his dried driveled arm
(drug used by underachievers.)
Out cold, head resting on forearm
Unconscious in a dreamless world,
a portal often frequented:
an alcoholics netherworld
and mind most disoriented.
A parched throat forces arousal
And miasmic exhalations
rekindle once more pitiful
repeated, inebriation.
A morning swig begins his day
and ends the same as yesterday....

two singular heartbeats
emergent with fluttering exhalations 
a tiny speck of time and temperature 
rushing nowhere beside falcons
pausing breakneck together
i hear her wet whispers kissing
caressing deep lidless eyes
my heart knows the latitudes
understands the lay of the land
bestows a feast of electric night
giving flowers of touchings
receiving tongues of fire
inside this temple of ancient desire
emergent with breathless silences
two singular heartbeats
