Empty Space

I don’t know
what it is

I know

Revealed 
in the offing

An image
— takes form

Till The Music Stops

Learn to Fandango
castanet in your hand
Tambourine calling
 its bells to command

Dance every Tango
before it’s too late
Death in the offing
— the wolf at the gate

Winded

Luke lived in a place prone to an earthquake.
One in the offing made him shiver and shake.
He decided to act with full speed
Throwing caution to the wind indeed.
And moved to south Florida for safety’s sake.

Loveless Life

Comfort, luxury and accumulated wealth is nothing
Promise of beauty to the garden is spring in the offing

Separated from soul a body is of no avail
                            Without love life is not worth living
Form: Quatrain

Becoming What Is

Materializing 
memory
photos on the wall
Immortalizing
tomorrow
vision to recall
Prescience
in the offing
feelings coming home
Sentience
remaking
— that forever known

From The Source

The windmill is ready
the wind is not
Breezes far distant
never reaching the spot

Change in the offing
consent from within
One breath pouring outward
— and blades start to spin

(Dreamsleep: April, 2024)

In Their Shadow

As good
as they got
Clapton
Allman and Page
Their music
still borrowed
the Delta
on stage

Technique
in the offing
devoid
of the pain
As juke joints
and crop shares
sing out
— in refrain

(The New Room: August, 2025)

The Carpenters

We thought we were invincible,

Fearless, there we stood.

But somewhere to the rear

We heard someone sawing wood.

It was over the top for us,

A fight was in the offing.

But not for the carpenters,

They were busy, making coffins.

A journey landing in December
Road to the Moon of wonder
Trip of four to remember
East of Eden fonder
Milestone is in the offing
Instilled dream becomes a happening
Strobe lights showing and playing

Second-scheduled mission, but first crewed...

Premium Member Love For New Year

Midnight was approaching.
A New Year is in the offing.
I see her a few yards from me.
Lovely, enchanting, alluring.
We smile, we approach,
Silently we clink glasses, 
Sip the bubbly drink.
The countdown begins 
Towards the new year.
Our lips brush,
O the ecstasy of love.
I feel her soft face, 
Her slightly parted lips.
All around seem to disappear,
We find ourselves
In a vortex of love
Light as we find ourselves
In the delight of weightlessness.
Hurtling up in elation.
