A Mother’s Love

©May, 2013


A mother’s love is beyond describing
She is on a child’s heart constantly inscribing....

Writing
Poetry, prose
Penning my heart and soul
Against blank, white leaves, inscribing
Natures

Lines of immortality,
words on the page

Inscribing a vision,
all thoughts to remain

Death with her envy,
 corporeal greed

Robbed of my legacy
—alive with each read

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2020)...

I find, some days, I wake with ‘Paper Feelings”
On twilight morns when thoughts are pressing through
With yearning to express through pen and paper
The swirling of ideas, some old, some new

I most enjoy those days of “Paper Feelings”
With mind afloat on inspiration seas
The undulating flow, inscribing rhythm
Creating what the universe foresees...

Did you wear your life out;
  did you use it all up
  —what are you saving it for

We’re all running headlong
  toward a hole in the ground
   —that the past and future insure

Are you stuck on tomorrow
  lost in wishes of things
  —hoping there’s still more to come

Will your headstone bring sorrow
  to those mourning your loss
  —inscribing what never got done

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)...

Lithospherical clunking, zest of our navel

Tumultuous melt, fizz ridden obliquitous

Inestimably stemming, trunking, branching

Exaspergrasping for equichosis,  ecliptic apotheosis

We shimmer and charade as though dwelt in strobe

Inscribing the vitroglyph, micro slinks to macro

Then back again

I sit lotus, perfecting the interlocking polygonoids of this scape

I resonate and learn over a new sheaf

A Palm Map....

Listening to New 
   Age music 
and relaxing late at night 
Mellow sounds 
   remind me 
that the time has 
come to 
        put 
       away 
       thoughts 
 on paper 
Realizing that 
once 
you 
are 
published 
You've blown your cover 
     After inscribing 
this ode 
I will focus on the 
pretty sounds 
issuing 
forth 
     from my TV
Let my mental state 
    become one
of peace 
and 
soon I will go 
to that temporary death 
called sleep...

Let my mental state

to that temporary death 
   known as sleep...
