Pale sun thus haggard 
halting light in the gray sky
 discolored mornings...

A good start is half done 
Halting half way undone 
Battles to get settled down won...

Satin's Smirk

Halting ugly thoughts
 about you or him or her
 ceases satin’s smirk....

He skated along
road little used,
except by butterflies -
he chased.
On his scooter, he raced.
Suddenly halting,
“Aww…he flied away!”...

Carefully grow seeds
Blooming beautiful feelings
Ensconced as treasure
Halting zealous emotions
For the heart love conqueror

Listen to poem:

Hindsight is foresight's foe
Heralding woe betides
Halting the hoodwinking
Haunting the present tense
Hanging regrets in caches
Hype, hope dashed by failures
Holding you back, abjure!...

Head and heart misaligned
Happiness is denied
Halting the flow of thought
Horrors spawned by mind die
Honing silence with bliss
Hunger for God’s touch grows
Heaven’s light dawns within...

 A soft calming voice 
Caring 
Truly cares 
Whispered my way
Caressing my lobes -
With delightful sounds of her voice

My body soothed and calm - 
halting the darkness inside...

Death
Is here,
At the door
With boiling arms
And macabre charms
To lend a gnarly hand
And escort my life away,
On an exclusive one-way trip
Through July hell ‘til it sheds its grip,
Halting when through the Pearly Gates I slip....

incoherent ramblings 
of an emotionally scared
heart that is 
hesitant to jump back
into the emotional 
deep end 
halting encounters 
in order to protect 
the heart from 
further injury 
is now were the 
line has been drawn 
within the sands of 
time...

The old artist embraced squallor,
resisting riches, halting ardor;                                                            
his large paintings remained indoor.
With dust on their canvas,
the images started to lose their color...
as his tears flowed across....

At the crossroad,time ago
A galloping horse knocked down me hard
My world askew.
Today I walk with halting stride
On the rough road where trouble hide
With crutch in hand  going slowly.
Yet swaying and flowing another horse
is seen galloping towards me.

outside my dark windows 
in sickly yellow streetlights 
I see walkers with small support wheels 
and halting wheelchairs 
fight their way across the pedestrian 

but here 
with only the standby light from the stereo 
I see clearly my crutches dance 
in the hallway...

Sensual heavenly bodies
Tempting man to risk it all
Answer to a lovers dream
Reclining under with moonbeams
Light years away they do shine
Immittting wave lengths our eyes blind
Great excitement when one falls
Halting me in my steps to stare 
Total darkness shows them all...

Midnight
©June, 2014


Meandering off to a peaceful sleep,
I have a plethora of dreams.
Daffodils hurled into the bottomless deep,
Night is too short it seems.
Instantly awakened with a rush,
Gathering strength for the fray,
Halting as quickly with a hush,
The dreams have flown away!...

Heavy Heart slow to beat,
As the whispers come hastily,
all but halting cold feet

Only lifetime's distraught, wretched spell shall she speak,
steadfast cries in the moonlight,
Wolves howl in late heat

Still standing alone,
not one tear shall break under 
this sweet child's face, 
smiling throu cold encumber...

You, stirring me in the head 
Like a warm current 
Flowing With the glimmering light 

I, seeing the passers-by 
Hurrying to and fro 
Along different roads 

You and I, coming across 
As fast as flashes in course 

But we must admit: 
Humans differ from other lives 
By making memorize 
That always recollects...

J-oy inside your soul
I-s erasing the blue; 
M-ay fifth Friday morn
M-akes sadness far from
Y-ou.

S-heer joy in your soul
I-s eliminating the gray; 
N-o sign of tears is found, 
G-lee has brightened the day.
C-heer that your birthday brings is halting the rainfall; 
O-pen your heart and feel the joy inside your soul....

Pride in my body
Wonder in my thoughts

Living my life
While the rest of the world rots

Molding my life
From my distant past

Growing up and aging
Entirely too fast

Catching up with life
Laid in riddles

Musically requited
By out-of-tune fiddles

Sinister blockage
Halting my life

Dead-end silence
Like a sharpened knife...

I knew these halting words were coming,
so why are they still so numbing?
I expected them this whole time,
so why does it still feel like a violent crime?
Like your words pierced deep like a knife,
and piece by piece my heart ripped to shreds.
Like your words were an attempt on my life,
and I was abandoned and left for dead....

People and places like thread
Over and under, sewing your head
Leaking and squeaking
Thrilling and peeking
Elements of illusion
Rebounds with delusion
Grumbling in your ears
Ending and halting heartbeat in tears
Intermittent noises of the unseen
Souls playing around when clock strikes at thirteen
Touching you and me in grim...

I lost myself between the lines
Between the forces of you all
My lack of vocabulary stings
And makes me humble and sad
I wish to make this language mine
And write my singing lines with flow
But sometimes it hurts, this 
Being me, the halting lyrics
Of my stumbling tongue
The pain of almost but not just
Belonging here...

Long wanders across hills
Expiring - Three of my steps were one of my Dad's 
Halting will

Refuelling near
Banks brandished fennell freely had 
Revered

Herb young
Stung by green glad 
Tongue

Washed down with water swills
Sweaty bunch became invalid
Flung

The sun sails along 
So does the needle
Meninges they burn
Figuring out the riddles 

Coals into the diamond turns  
Not in a million years 
Inside a volcanic eruption burns
Igniting all the fears 

Slowly consuming the dull mind
It kills away your brain 
Halting the way you cram
That’s the way its comes my friend 
The scary thing you call exam...

Rust coats the wheels 
beyond appeals;
our halting grind
shall carve behind
the truth of life
shed on their knife.

We’ve laid to waste
by slack and haste
all blessings grown
once called our own
by trusting lies
from fraud’s disguise.

While they juggle
our dire struggle
with childish toys
cranking out noise,
trapped souls despise
each conscious prize....
