I can see
a beautiful soul
 lies within me.
    Therefore,
    no mirror
   can reflect
who I really am.

Italy's Georgio de Chirico
made symbolic paintings you know
He depicted 'what cannot be seen'*
from the mind's eye,it would seem

A humble name,
Trilling far beyond river
For his music
Flows into the grandest ocean
Leaving land

If (all) thoughts are words
To (easily) come by exactly
As internally initiate,
Believe me, no word thinks,
Will go un-remind.

my love, stay gently wild

and foxtrot with me

to swirl in flaming dips

She divorced the sea and marries the sun;
She will soon come to the tryst,
Where she dispenses pleasure
To the tourists and local fun seekers.

Brought forth

Cooled through the sky

from  the bottom of your heart,
mellowed by touch;
verses read from  your  eyes,
all is clear enough.

A thousand poems I write,
And not one of them I like,

Could I let you see that,
All my poems are bad.

I lost my gift with words,
And left alone with hurt.

It is too late to take back,
Now ready for your attacks!!!

Use your voice - say what you mean
      Do not stand in the shadow
      Do not become an echo of someone else's opinion
      We must accept ourselves and each other
      Even the perfect diamond
      may have cracks and faults

Fishing masters
Clothed in white feathers...
They stalk in slow motion
And as they strike a pose
Everything rare and beautiful.
Round my heart and soul of bliss
A transformation begins,
At peace I am.

Bottoms Up


Heavy handed was the pour
convex cap to rim of glass
chasers iced and doubled back
dry toast to soothe an empty flask.

Innkeepers have their history
in treating drunkards mystery
disguising in replete display
the demon haunts their every day.

Receding Shoreline





Throbbing heartbeats rise,
Patience draws a line in the sand,
Tears swallow my pride,
Turbulence persuades the tides,
Anguish engulfs the shoreline !

Summer  succumbs  to autumn's breath

 And pretty soon no leaves are left

 Swept away in the winds of death

  Summer  succumbs  to autumn's breath

 Like witches brew upon Macbeth

  Leaving summer's flowers bereft

   Summer  succumbs  to autumn's  breath

 And pretty soon no leaves are left

The mighty Maples are rapidly shedding,
And soon all the trees will be bare.
The cool night breeze is not forgetting
The mighty Maples are rapidly shedding.
The lawn is covered with leaves of bedding.
The scent of Autumn fills the air.
The mighty Maples are rapidly shedding,
And soon all the trees will be bare.

Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Today, your thoughts, the things you did
Mentally your day revisit
Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Evaluate truthfully, bias deficit
Ponder in truth, sentiments be rid
Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Today, your thoughts, the things you did.

Sweet sounds  flow from voices from high
Tick!tick! goes the clock for time is near
As soul sails gently above the sky

Sweet sounds flow from voices from high
The heart finds it hard to bid goodbye
For living peacefully without fear

Sweet sounds flow from voices from high
Tick!tick! goes the clock for time is near.

People buy pictures
They have a notion
That they are owners
But actually
The pictures own them. 
They will outlive
Or outlast them
They are only
Custodians.
They purchase
Pyramid,
Art will live.
And they...
Pharaohs:
Dead.

Like fragile leaves are children’s souls.

Sweet innocence can never last,

and winds of spiteful words tear holes.

Like fragile leaves are children’s souls.

With joy they fall to grassy knolls,

But met with hate, they wither fast.

Like fragile leaves are children’s souls;

Sweet innocence can never last.

A lone gull,
white breasted
pecked and pecked 
at flecks of snow on the ground -
a curious delight this February day,
but what could be found
in nature's freshly poured flakes
to sate the bird's appetite?

She turned and soared away on wings of grey.

Brocade frame with silver etches
creating a past's mystery
slices of life it refreshes,
against chilled dusk's pure scenery.
Will wonder's eyes engage and see
the beauty of a fallen leaf
whose precious moment shines too swift?
Or, will it, fading, simply crush
this brittle lace from autumn’s gift
beneath the pile of burial rush.

Slowly the fog comes creeping, then swish
Fog covers all thickening fast 
Swirling, shawl like, curtaining
Sunflower's yellow gone
Wrapped in tapestry
Waiting for sun's
Appearance

Allegory: Symbolic work:
A work in which the characters
and events are to be understood 
as representing other things 
and symbolically expressing 
a deeper, often spiritual, moral,

Before I'll be going to sleep
without hearing the seagulls shriek,
let me pray and be truly meek:
asking my Lord not to be weak...
trusting the calmness of the deep.
And should I stray like a lost sheep,
I will not fear the waves beneath;
closer to Heaven, where stars peak,
this captain won't abandon his fleet...
should danger foretell a defeat!
