The Legendary Johnny Cash
The legendary Johnny Cash
Alcoholic, 'white trash'
His initials -- J.C. -- helped him
Come all the way back
From drunken bouts
Of Despair and Depression
This self-styled 'Man in Black'
His Cadillac baritone so refreshin'...

Hunger
Hunger
Red-gulletted, it can eat up a man
A five year old could defy it at will
And reject a bite that comes once a day
Hunger, its wholesome milk ,and all the food
Hunger dies before it could kill or maim
City-fathers, priests, self-styled do-gooders
And plenitude-promising pot-bellies
There is only extinct humanity
Amidst your existent privileges....

Verse
Dear Mother He Sang
Time was once a letter sent
A thinly packaged salutation
Revealing reads and rushes
A content discourse situation
Story lines entwined grapevines
Most privately complicit
A baton passed a relay cast
Too confidential to elicit
Artistic flair in swirling script
Stylish prose self styled emphatic
A photographic written pose
Of diatonic scale chromatic...

Silently Seeking Solitude
Slipping silently, serenely sober,
Somnambulist seeking some solitude
Shuffles, self-styled, still sleeping so soundless
Solitary search--simply solipsist.
Some sadder simpleton slipped severely,
Searching so silently, supposedly,
Slipped solemnly, sidestepped suddenly!

To Dad
Happy birthday, dad. I'm proud of you.
Because you taught and followed through
I hurt inside. A bitter youth,
fighting fear and seeking truth.
You let me be a self-styled man.
Although you guided,I often ran.
Ran,not to your arms but far away,
not to return till end of day.
That day's no more.
I want to be a closer member of family.
The distance may not shrink in miles
But, closeness comes from love and smiles....

Delerium
Here by this bay
New light of day
Dawn has come round
Night flees these grounds
My brief stroll here
Sparks thoughts most clear
I purge unease
Wander in peace
Moments of joy
Fill still employ
No need to fight
Harsh pain that slights
I walk with me
Glimpse a kind sea
People pass by
In self-styled sighs
Morning has come
Let heart sing psalms
Here by the bay
Words temper stay

Authentic Fake
Watch the paradox
In senseless streak,
Leap out-of-the-box
As de-tox now kicks.
Your ego-self primes
A hollow feel here,
Vain is not a crime
For this empty fear.
You change the story
In perplexing ways,
A touch most dreary
Frames your night and day.
Fake as fake knows when
In the humid heat,
Hot air rises then
In a fading feat.
So authentic fake
In self-styled charade,
A chameleon makes
Your own hit parade!
