slow, slower and slower we be
gentle, gentler and gentler yet
lest scars of unvoiced anguish
create ripples in the vast void
Isn’t it amazing
that
no matter how you spin it…
life is a little kinder
a little gentler
a little softer
and a little brighter
with a grandma in it
Of what fascinates
In the feminine
Charmingly sweet, ere can, whose cause
Put a finger on
That serene, upstood
A gentler hand made
Exotica, cracks not o'er time
Puts in a trance one!
The older I get
the lesser the pain
the gentler the words
—a healing refrain
The older I get
the sweeter the song
as memory protects
—myself to belong
(Dreamsleep: August, 2021)
Amazing how we can remember our past
This instant recollection is a total blast
Scenes of gentler times
When things all rhymed
Life was forever, for an eternity it would last
Amazing how we can remember our past
This instant recollection is a total blast
Scenes of gentler times
When things all rhymed
Life was forever, for an eternity it would last
So disappointing to have a reputation--
Known for argumentative disputation
When we could be known for a gentler tone,
Raising quality of discourse in our generation.

My body ages…
as words stay young
Gentler written,
more often sung
Fond memory’s child…
youth starts to rage
All gray outside,
blue-blonde the page

Your eyes are like a bonfire
Smoldering in my heart
I will engulf you with sexual lazer torches
Our union will breed the new age Olympian Choir
We will strut together as lions among our peaceful domain
Blinking gently and loving gentler
Yond their aggressive spoke reach
Their dark willed shadow's
Too loud, head, senseless bludgeons
Too close chills the heart
Life, here midst the bird and tree
Now but noted for
What gentler, more obliging
Preserves. At peace art!
Attended a performance last night that blew me away
A concert in tribute of Gord Lightfoot, idol of my younger days
What glorious memories
Evoked teary-eyed reveries
A journey back in music, a gentler time it portrayed
To pick the rose
that shimmers brightest
at first sight,
be prepared;
for that is the fastest fleeting
of them all.
Let it go when needed,
even after it grows attached
so that its deadness
does not spread to you
and become your own.
Farting when someone hugs you, makes them feel strong
It also gives forth a nasty odor that to you it only belongs
If other people are around
Claim innocence with the frown
For gentler farts, I'm renowned and don't gather thronges
When he is all popular and confident,
Aproaching you
But halts halfway when you turn to look,
His eyes soften and smile's gentler
And it reminds you of the way your dad looks at your mom
And for the very first time you know exactly,
why your mom blushes everytime
Snapshots of a gentler time
rainbows filled my mind
Freshwater streams, nature unsullied
Faces helpful, eager, kind
Page after page, endearing smiles
teeth all perfectly aligned
No hint of what's to come
~ navigating blind
Through a curtain espied
Of moon, star, star-like
Angelic legions
A heart's secret exposed
To gentler, softer
Of love's dimensions.
Through whose longing, pleading
Is with tears awash
Sleepless bed up on
More lone, a dream left with !
Even more so, come morn.
Melted in the sun!
Whether whiskey or water
What should it matter
The point is we oughta
be toasting each other
Though the East is a Beast
and the West is unblessed …
May we this year refrain
from inflicting such pain
Turn to gentler pursuits
find for war substitutes
Sand gets grayer, melting sun
Merges into setting phase
Waves slow down their run
To the quieter pace
Gentler blows the ocean breeze
Cirrus clouds decay
Shines a metaphor of peace
In the air today
Looks like postcard type of view
But it’s not that trite
On the premise of the few
Who can breathe the light.
I ran away to the circus at the age of two
on a sad day when it was raining.
At first, I didn't know what I should do,
not having the proper training.
I started with an elephant and began to scrub.
His skin was leathery and rough,
but found I could continue with a gentler rub,
when his skin became smooth enough.
A Rainy April Day
Like rolling pebbles on rooftops,
Gentle thunder welcomed a gentler rain;
The Lord gave a coatless Easter, but knew
Emerald grass and foliage thirst, so
Waited ‘til Friday morning,
To send a book-reading soft rain.
How silent it sounded as it fell,
How peaceful was the day
Of the mellow April rain.
Spiralling into the depths of a rose.
Scent of petals caresses my nose.
Plummeting through a soft green bed.
Passing through the stem with dread.
Within, I witness its patterns from growth.
Wonderously I see beyond the darkness I loath.
Suddenly fertile soil surrounds me.
Somehow a gentler fall than I thought it would be.
Soft Becoming
I used to think
growth had a sound
applause, fireworks,
a loud arrival.
But lately
it feels like breathing:
quiet, steady,
almost unnoticed.
A gentler voice,
a calmer heart,
boundaries forming
like invisible armor.
Maybe becoming
was never meant
to impress the world
only
to bring me home
to myself.
I don’t love you
just because of your eyes,
gentler than the summer rays.
I don’t love you
just because of your hair
that fondles my dreams.
I don’t love you
just because of your body
a masterpiece of the divine hand!
I love you best
because of your heart
at the moment after sunrise
on that sunny beach.
When you kissed me
and whispered,
‘I’m your spiritual twin!’"

*************
Red lights speak faintly—
steel rivers halt their rushing;
patience signposts the pavement
Signs hum: slow down now
wheels heed the wisdom of wind—
life breathes in the gentler lanes.
