The small, full moment  
of love in the afternoon. 
Awkward and nuanced.
               •
Small, empty moment,
a remembrance of passion. 
My constant sadness....

Eye spy those handsome guys
Younger or older 
Eternally fine

Chocolate like so nice
And sandy milky white
Nuanced energy and pride
Definitely kingly strides
You are super fly...

aromatic and deep mahogany
decoction swirled with steam
a cupped nectar of rebirth
morning glimpses of heaven
first sip a remembrance

Leap into my heart
Embrace emerald soul
Touch so light it sparks
Soul of gold to 
Tango
Amethyst steps enhanced 
Neon nuanced dance
Green esteem red romance
Only you love hold my hand...

There was a year we used 
      to wash our hair until tis cleared and cleaned 
    the world a pumpkin 
     and   I like ant 
     just now is thinking, nuanced and matriced 
    and arrayed or chim-chim and bread?....

Contemptibly craven 
Oratory obfuscates
Never nuanced
Gerrymandering guile
Readily reacts to roaring rabble
Egregiously expects economic encouragement 
Smug, self-righteous and self- serving
Slippery sounding sound bites...

Frolicking, under celestial kisses
younger ones unafraid
silent is life's eloquent, nuanced tableau
our nocturnal Eros

Am I pretty
or just a warm embrace?

Cleverly, he eluded all the eternal rules
Ojawe the spirit, sees all...

joy and gratitude 
oozes here now aglow
vibrant within the flow of life
bliss elixir imbibed in stillness slow

subtle nuanced divine revelations 
deep within our core bear fruit
there is no doing we do
except to reboot ...

EQUATIONS


Equality’s balance
Quaking at fulcrum’s pain
Unequal forces
Antagonized by
Theoretic nonchalance,
Immune to the folly
Of reason’s
Nuanced
Serendipity.

Suddenly Swans

ZITS….that plague
eradicated
soft stubbly itch
faint beard
announcing itself.

They were…..once
my sister’s
pig-tailed, bratty friends
now gliding past
in nuanced elegance
			…..suddenly swans

An argumentative person,
She spins nuanced thoughts for hours,
With an underappreciated approach,
Her resentful nature keeps her afar.

Agitation becomes her greatest foe,
Disrupting cycles, not just her own.
A hyperactive mind racing without pause,
Aloof and distant, fearing the spotlight on her flaws....

And there they are
as if it were their duty to bloom
... like slow notes on a piano
from the depths of earth
suddenly rising
to fill the world with grace.
 
Much like writing a poem
a duty to ourselves
... inspired moments
bare, inarticulate strands
nuanced over time
suddenly rising
bursting onto the page....

Ekphrasis tribute to and inspired by imagist-F S Flint

 musical rhythm of vers libre
in a sequence of concepts 
&propositions
 recording impressions 
clothed in beauty.
instinct over thought
independent of form 
cadence lyrical expressed
where emotions 
   are the driving force
in
 harmonic flows

What is the human complexion
    Much more than color of skin
Fragile, fierce and nuanced
    A reflection from within

A million moving pieces
    Catalyzed by everything
Creating combinations
     Tied up like a ball of string

How to learn, accept and grow
     How to understand
The complex in complexion
     Of our wondrous fellow man...

Moods blend and swirl, a loud note, a soft tone
Countless hues with nuanced shades tempest blown

Whilst be it full understanding we seek
Alas I still find that we are all quite unique

This symphony over the years we hone
And yet together we may feel all alone
