A tincture
of anguish drips
 inside your mouth-
 held back
when you should scream
and only have yourself 
to hear.

There was a young man named Lee
Who left home without a key
He came back in the dark
His wife fired a shot
Then checked to see who was he

Oh, how I miss you
moonlight dances, so do we,
miss you though we’ve never met...
not met but in dreams,
I dream of you dreaming me
into lucid existence.

The moon hangs lonely

All I need
Is God
All I want
Is God
All else is a meaningless
Exercise in frivolity
For you can only
Leave this world
With what you came in with

Facing the camera
cockatiel sat on your head
your mouth and eyes are smiling
much in the same way
I still frame your warmth and love
my glass and wood are sorrows

The house feels hollow,
The only sound: my footsteps –
You took the laughter with you.
Minutes drip slowly –
The specter of loneliness
Stares at me with greedy eyes.

A lady named Ottava Rima
who hailed from Peruvian Lima
would write down her verse
then bellow and curse
All the structure just made her Scream-a!

Night time skies tell me that I don't matter,
But a blue eyed lady tells me I do.
My friend, the difference is everything
For the moon and the stars can be wrong too.

Wake up at Midnight
Dreaming about your sweet eyes
Lost in the valley of dreams 
Hold you with my hands 
Wishing to choose other path 
Desiring to turn back time

On my mind all day
Crave your caress through the night
Obsession drives me insane

But hunger persists
Trying to sweep from my mind
All consuming addiction

One
told us,
learn from
the flowers 
and birds--
beautiful 
and
thriving--
with 
no cares

joyfully give
be content
love

two coats?
give one away

It's the cell of a jail I am in

for the limerick fool I have been.

In the back of a hearse

I’ll be rhyming my verse

as they lay me to rest for my sin!

A huge pregnant young lady named Jill
Bungee jumped for a bit of a thrill
When her baby flew out
Jill did scream and then shout
'Now there’s two to walk back down the hill!'

To the diner Mac went for a meal
Where he ordered two helpings of veal.
All he had was one dime
Could not pay! What a crime!
Washing-up was the fairest MacDeal.

Your sublime allure

Like plum blossoms on Fuji

Trembling with love's covenant

Unclasped by Spring's kiss

To alight, giggling, my heart

I miss you, Lotus Petal

I will love you like tomorrow.
Like the days that come to me.
Like the warmth of summer sunshine.
Like a wind that blows me free.

Eyes from a distance
Can your thoughts reach my sad soul?
My heart does preach in its search...
Lost in existence 
I’m longing for your presence
Calling forever your name...

DEATH OF A GYPSY QUEEN
They gathered round the dying place
to bid their queen farewell
the glow of every gypsy fire
left little more to tell
for round about each glowing flame
a bondage few could know
and when the queen departed them,
each gypsy felt her go.

True story, in Baltimore Johns Hopkins Hospital Camput
1959...
