When
the day
that you spent
bears no semblance
to the one you planned;
then the night will 
have memories
to dream
on...

Space stations spin to create gravity
Spin to create stillness

I too have to be moving ever so quickly
To feel a semblance
Of stability...

She said, "Oh, that just can't be!
Your poems have no semblance to reality!"
I said, "How can you say that,
when it's painfully clear that
it's the reality of me!”...

I see before me with my eyes
A semblance of a sea swept shell
And Love indentured with a pearl
A heart shaped iris stares ahead

I recoil at your previous wish duly met...
but timelessly bled

Escapes restrained our semblance of dread,
but limitlessly crept

I had specks of me for you to test,
now decidedly unkempt......

It's just not the same
darkness swirls
but there's no light
no will left to fight

I miss you
and your semblance of right

So, I send my love out in the breeze
take it, take me, if you please...

Some Semblance of Order

Order always has some sort of semblance,
To insure expected  without any suspense;
When will appear,
Seems so sincere;
Unless are being confused and also dense.

Like a cherry blossom in the wind
And the dew lit gossamer threads
Of the weaver, the spider
Is the semblance of a dream
That passes away like a fairy’s laugh
And holds men captivated
On why they are in the dream...

I opened the window,
the door wide opened.
Temperature scorching,
no fresh air rushing,
environment outside foul.

I rode far
to the countryside 
roads once quiet today busy.
Coming back
my house and room wore
the semblance of nature....

if i were a flower
in a garden of many
a semblance
beneath thorns
would my aura
allure you

would you breathe
the fragrance
of my petals
touch me
delicately
whispering
kisses
through
the stems
of my being

if you were 
a butterfly...

owl calls to her psyche
dreaming interferes
dendrite highways closed

breathing is a ruse
soul is in cosmos
hooting is unheard

astral travel
dusts away all semblance of
doom 

body on auto pilot
until soul returns 
to hostility of this world...

Walking down the memory lane,
I semblance a lot of pain,
As life moves on it gives me a feeling,
It could be for some gain.

Gifted another beauteous morning,
As the earth rotates her side,
A new day, A new learning,
As I keep moving with the tide....

foggy somber day
looking out over the pier
for maybe something someone
semblance of echo
deep inside to convince me
somehow i am not alone

Did she smile to me?
Oh, I wish I could see, 
But she hides her semblance
And ignores the importance 
Of smiling in abundance. 

How long her smile will last?
Oh, may the days are past, 
but her smiles persist 
Because a kiss I can’t resist 
if our hearts together insist....

Passionate symbols symbolized
Theories theoretically theorized
The semblance of your semantics synchronized
What you mean to me I wish it could be
Televised worldwide, vividly seen through
The world’s eyes, Kalani Sheffield, you’re the 
Passionate symbol, my soul has symbolized....

TIMING…



This is the best time
in my life because,
I’m living it,
and I’m most alive:
NOW!
Why would I want 
a past with
prior knowledge to
live again
Or- 
future unknowns?
At least there’s some
semblance of control,
because the “present”
allows choice.
“Live On!”...

I’ve been here before in a
semblance of remembrance of
dutiful belongings for things
said, done, delivered, denied 
truthed and lied——-glistening 
in heart hopes of a rapturous 
mind meld change to bliss
entities candid prophesies charged on a
Poised path to delightenment aplenty...

serenity’s semblance on her lined  face

as I stoop at the casket

to kiss her pallid cheek

Night forages my thoughts
and the darkness weeps

shadows skirt the past
and I'm left with
emptiness and silence

the only semblance of life
are 
footprints deep inside

I feel your presence
as the knife rips out my tongue
blood no longer drips
but scars
won't fade away...

What in this dream invites
a constant ruse
That gently riles the
things that fuse

A thin razed smile, a semblance
fades
A rendered source of
twilight days

Ask them please and let me through
Inside for me, my days, my you

Of this I think
And thinking lies
This ink will dry
and dryness dies...

Open fields
No farmer reaping corns
Eternal pastures
Bereft of grazers
Streets and avenues
Dead silence only broken by military convoys
Houses and apartments
Men hiding like mice
Schools and colleges
Momentary sirens
Graveyards and crematoriums
Bustling with the dead

That’s you, dear world, today...

The path between myself and the distant man 
                    00twists and turns. 

We are converging.  He has my hat and clothes, 
my exactly semblance.

The figure is waving, in greeting, 
                           or is it a warning?

Later I began to wonder 
          which of us made it home?...
