My animal was hinting again,
staring at me in the den,
taking my meds,
he begged and pled,
could he be stuffed with a lot of phlegm?

Suggestion
Is a softening..
Words
Hinting emptiness
Lacking a path
Or prescription..
Not a teaching
But a few words
Arising and
Available for
No one...

Hearts united in love,
Holding to each other,
Hopeful of better times...
How their two lives join in
heavenly wedding bliss,
Hinting of forever!
Harmony of knit souls.

Palm trees at sunset
When sky displays golden glow
Silhouettes abound.
Warmth flavoured with spice
Hinting of eucalyptus
First mosquito bite.
Humid midnight hour
Chorus of the insect world
Mosquito net down.

A noun
Such as nothing
Seems as permanent..
A verb seems moving
And temporary and
A denizen of spacetime..
The story continues:
A noun is verbing
Seemingly storying
Hinting at wholeness..
Which completes yet
Another story telling
What cannot be told...

Light Verse
Now I see it black,
black with a tinge of plum
hinting at sloe fruit
to come.
Soon it will be white,
white blossom dazzling
from roadside and woods
telling us of spring.
It offers hope,
hope of hosting
many creatures
within its thicket home,
well defended by its
black thorns.

The George Chronicles: The Thought
With a dash of moon dust,
and a sprinkle of joy.
I'm hinting towards the fact,
you could be the one to change this young boy.
With your ever lasting smile
and undeniable charms
with the words you express today
by the minute I wait for you with open arms...

Dusty streets lined with trees
and dry water channels
petrified veins in the scorching sun
The large stately homes
hinting at a more favourable era
Shells of buildings filled with
memories of farmers’ markets
and ghosts of Jewish pedlars
Monuments of rubble and decay
to drunken street kids
and tumbleweeds.

My soul speaks to me
Hinting so softly;
My heart now tells me
A gut feel truly.
My mind plays trick here
Blinding ego frames;
My body seeks cheer
That I may purge blame.
My being knows more
Than my present tense;
My becoming shores
A revealing sense.

I am sorry
I'm not more
exciting.
I meant to be
for you,
an adventurer
with mountaintop stories,
or someone
with a limp
hinting at a life
starting
with the gift of an early struggle.
My presence is a bland suburb
of wanting,
anything
other
than what is
in (front of) me,
until it is not.

Snow began to fall
Come dusk lovely tangos
Wind and flake
Silent wisps growing bold
Wicked, relentless
Hinting winter’s random temper
Silver frosted morning
White landscape
Reflecting purple painted sky
Breath taking dazzling
Lifting me to heights
I’d never approached
But as Newton would opine
What goes skyward
Must surely crash

Bio
She was delicate
as a butterfly wing,
intense black hair
rolling down her back,
dense dark eyes,
a shaping of the lips
for the necessary vowels
hinting at other possibilities,
a webbing of cerulean veins
barely hidden beneath
porcelain-thin skin.
She was beauty,
an angel of the second order.
I wish I could recall her name.

My son’s bird loves to squeak and squawk
As through puckered lips, though he’s got none.
I think he likes to hear himself talk,
But his carrying on is not much fun.
I whistle back, though a little flat
Hinting, “Don’t give me none of your lip.”
He replies, with an ear piercing cry
Of, “Chip-chip-chirp, cheep-cheep-chirrip!”

He cries his tears in the song
he sings while playing his base.
He believes and prays she will
come back to him.
She was the only true love of his
life ,would laugh,sing and
promise to be his wife.
Its been five moons now since she
stole away on that windy day.
Taking most of her belongings but
careful to leave important shoes
behind hinting she shall be back...

December in the central California mountains
Pine scented air tickles my cheek
Hinting at the peace to be found here
We incautiously wish for the sound of rain
Missing the calm lullaby of Mother Earth
Song became a roar
Our poor tent could not withstand
Ill-timed wish granting

One night, I stumbled impetuously in what seems like a market
Where gargoyles and gangrenes were sold in secret and hidden places
I watched the seller closely and a gelded man! I saw signs of
Pity, I felt for him until he started hinting at shooting cupid's arrow at me
What an irony! I said to myself until I found out that I was lost in the market of gargoyles and gelded men!!!

Blank verse
forever entangled in your word riddles
cross-checking the depth of it all
meaning to leave it behind
for I know when it revealed your cards
things are spiral
hinting the inside insanity
far along the gameplay
your prayers and charms failing through
on my way making it past you
to unveil the love I deserve
and painting butterflies wherever
found my thoughts oppressed
longing for you

as inevitable, it came to pass
and so the question was asked
on whether we should abandon
feral soul we'd ourselves tasked
to spew toxicity that we may learn
to remain tranquil even as we burn
clever ego offering specious logic
hinting we need not trauma bond
why then keep a rear view mirror
but heart joyously does respond
effusing love, inane game end
egoic will to God's laws bend

Ancient science launches research towards new technology
Learning new disciplines to increase the power of their patron
Creating new magics; generating spendable gold from lead
Hinting at greater knowledge hidden in the realms of men
Evolving sciences increase the expertise of kingdom soldiers
Machines, potions and tactics to defeat enemies of the king
Yesterday's mysteries leading the world toward today's reality

Who is in the rooftop yelling ho ho ho?
The rest of us ran to the window and saw some snow.
We went crazy, ran outside without our coats and hats.
When we came back in, grandma had thrown out some mats.
Our crazy Uncle Ted was on the roof, making lots of noise.
Hinting that he had brought some wonderful toys.
We didn’t care; it was snowing, and we could sled!
We stayed outside a long time, irritating our Uncle Ted.

Rhyme
If I am that I am
Should shame plege
That, That I am
When what I am
Combined of choices
Some less dignified
As what I am
Is much more realized
With characteristics
Of selfless deeds
Although I am selfish
Although I am helpless
To human need
Living within a soul of thurst
That I carry from a past life
In which I do not know
Hinting dreams
Misunderstood
Seeking the righteous
Amongst the unrighteous
That I am

Light breaks the gloom
a smile peers the dawn
a reflection of fear
built throughout the years
holding off the questions
burnt beneath the soil
The Daisy blooms
with her brightened whites
but what's not seen
an utter fight
twisted truths
and sleepless nights
turmoil chokes a fading light
In the face of dawn
she takes her cue
not hinting of a single clue
breathing deep and pushing through
for what is one supposed to do

the wind does rip
through the rustling trees
and debris races tumbling
carried in the wind
chill is the wind
hinting at rain
and the land lies darkened
by the threatening storm
yet in endless struggle
though mightily strained
a small bird struggles
in the darkening sky
wondering gaze I
from far below
if it be hopeless
the struggle in vain
yet hope do I
triumph will be
the tiny storm rider
so high in the sky

I've been kind of emotional lately
If I may say so myself I've been
down right spacey
I'm hitting a mid life crisis
and I can't even drive yet
How fast am I arriving
in my mind equals how
fast I am failing
depressions twinkles as
if hinting it might return
and every example of where
I should be now I'd so like to burn
emptiness can churn inside and
freeze over like Antartica
I want my turn
to know love
before I dissolve
into nothing
