“Past moments segmented euphoric,
notebook in the back of my jeans”
It used to be a pocketed feeling,
today it’s the air that I breathe
They used to visit when I would invite them,
now they’re my shadow unseen
Blanketing my world with their lettered embrace,
to inspire, enthrall—and redeem
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
Segmented arms and legs are seen
wielding a broken machine.
A swinging lamp of kerosene
lights up a silent movie screen.
In the dark Circus Oblique,
presided o'er by the freak,
each butterfly is unique -
but none of them can speak.
Is it not a little odd,
ev'ry page his bug-eyes trod,
were a kind of lightning rod
for the sad boy who played God.
Deep the pond
sweet the water,
Tranquilly placid
nestled in safe abode,
Nourished by tears of yester-years.
Vast the spaces
of times immemorial,
Condensed to serve
in segmented places,
Striving and continually
seeking the birthing waters
of the placid pool.
Vain the vanities
of immortal entities,
Chasing shadows
in spiraling obscurities
floundering, for a way to find.
BUTTERFLY SUMMER TOLD YOU SO
Silkily cocooned Blossom turned to fruit Past to the future
Segmented caterpillar Weather warms up in degrees Told you so, did you listen
Fluttering angel Alas, summer's here Oh no! So, what now
On the Way of my heart
listen! you cannot more walk
As this way leads to a land
that is bared,containing grey sand
the land is segmented into many patches
in every patch there are so many scratches
there is also a part of water here
that comes from my eyes deep well
A red bird flittering on the sea wave
is infact indicating my pleasures grave
now tell me can you pass this herby way?
AH!i know the words that you will say
sorry,i can't more stay"
