Shaking his head and tail!...

The dawn is fragrant with a ruby rose,
the sunset smells as somnolent as blue 
night violets... In fragrance they compose
its head and tail but heart belongs to you.

In the shadow, behind the tree, 
on the meadow, bend your knee,
down the valley, up the stream, flat bedrock,
hear me scream, bellow the heavens, toward hell,
dark tunnel, wishing well; fellow traveler listen well,
no chance given, could you tell, 
on a knife-edge, head or tail?...

With neither head nor tail
Sans any begin or end

Disliked as barren desert land 
Despised as a misborn child

Tasteless wine
Scentless perfume

Ignorance in disguise
Wisdom in distress

Fortune of fools
Scorn of sages 

Save me, O Most Wise
From these malicious Clips...

this has no head or tail
medicine box containing diseases
crazy as the river
that runs in reverse
planet that lost gravity
the heart of things
pulsing outside
my coffee in ice cubes
the smile of the fish in space
your love for me
what was so entrancing
today a teetotaler drunk...

A coin is twisted
Head ot tail
Fortune or misfortune 
To be decided by
A swirling turn
A baby is born 
Fortune or misfortune 
To be decided by fate 
The unknown 
But to everything
There is a dark and a bright side
Only hopes from God
And perseverance from man
Will make life easier for us...

brainstem not head, not tail 
                   soul sentience: formless
                       energy builds
                 dissipates

                     there/gone

A stick middle,
Both ends cotton settled, 
Come in many colors make,
The head,the tail, two ends 
Like two headed snake, 
For ever going bud,
Never blossom in time life,
An ear aid,
When buds beat sweet feelings,
For a child mothers to handle,
All others with care and gentle,
They are short, smart and soft,
The cotton buds!...

Set sail
Do not fail
Do prevail


Now be
What you see
Live wisely


Now brush
Do not blush
Do not crush


Set sail
Leave this jail
Love avails


Now write
Dare to cite
Take good bites


Now do
Be just you
Watch words woo


Set sail
Do details
Head to tail

Miss Gladys befriended me at church
Invited me to her house for rose tea
Her table was exquisitely set with lace and doilies
Embroidered napkins, and beautiful flowers
She put out the most gorgeous peacock tea cups
I had no idea how to sip between peacock’s head and tail.
Miss Gladys laughed at my consternation 
Brought out her every day cups with a tray of cookies
I was immensely relieved...

My eyes unleash upon the world before me,
where Heaven wrests all darkness from its reign

These sights my fortune gladly spent on freedom,
to rise and fall as sun and moon both share

The seasons press their head and tail foreclosure,
to trail the one in front and lead the back

As cousins of the changing time indenture,
the same but separate lost within themselves

zebra rider was prancing around the town
when an ebony cobra appeared on solid ground
he hissed and slithered high up, but she gave a kick
and he tumbled head over tail into the verdent bushes thick

do not worry zebra rider said to her striped steed
he had better not show his face outside of that weed
the intimidated cobra slithered far away and out of sight
notrious zebra rider had won again another night...

Disarmed and Possibly Dangerous

just got out
thirsty
street callin'
no escape
darkness
mischievous characters
wind surfing
no piece    plan    money
cold
monsters devouring meek
growing on every corner
street, first underworld teachers
minimal mainstream skills
legal options slim
economic   education   family castration
jackass
elephant
no definitive answer
head or tail
four corner
traffic light
ten seconds till green...

I could tell 
The words fit well
Ringing someone's bell
As the sumer rain fell
And cast its spell
upon all that stared at the
 whale
In the blowing gail
Other sights began to pale
Such a giant, from head to tail
Next to him we are frail
Surfaces from beneath the watery hell
Another fishy tale
someone tries to sale
As another only wishes to sail
Hope he has his bucket to bail
If it touches you the sirens will wail
They take you off to jail...

This Life

I can’t make head or tail of this life
with so many puzzles and riddles, it’s rife
enigma within enigma, intertwined with mysteries
tainted and misty yesterday, shrouded in twisted histories

Neither a sinner with a future, nor a saint with a past
scarred with vices and blessed with virtues
I seized a moment to pause and reflect, at last
but just when I started to have glimpses
sadly, I saw that the die had been cast.

Dec. 2012, Istanbul...

The brightest star up in the sky,
your blazing entry caught my eye.
You gave your all to be so bright,
to streak across the sky tonight. 

Your light is bright from head to tail,
and you can grant wishes as well.
You must wonder as you fly by,
if I’m the answer to your why.

Drawn here tonight I guess for you, 
to share this moment just us two.
Both of us had a need to know,
Now on our way we both must go.

Another day we’ll meet again,
I think our souls must be akin.
