ocean waves rush in
like rambunctious preschoolers
at morning recess
eager to entertain you
in goofy games of pretend
Stein's rose line
Warhol's can
a symbol without
simile
the artist
once known as
Prince
my Muse is my Muse is my Muse
Form:
Though time, like us, is separated
Into many hours and minutes,
Even our arms, like clock hands,
Will someday meet again.
A woman twirling
Like a dervish
Hula hoops rotating
Around her chest and waist

Judging a person without even knowing his true name is like judging a book without even knowing its title.

written on his face
woes he carries like Atlas ~

Chilvary met it's demise
Once the words "I Do" was declared
And his diamond cuff was secured
On her left third finger with care
A metaphor is a simile,
and a simile is like a metaphor,
but what I can't see easily,
is why we must know the difference for.
Pressed together like worms in a tackle box ~
the sardines realized they had never counted their blessings
White snow, furiously freely falling, carpeting the hued ground;
A freezing allegory of racism and xenophobia that’s still around:-
Sunlight is the way Sun smiles
All day times till falling of the dusk
Working hard to make more smiles
Until falling of the dawn
Hived souls in oneness,
Sweetly working together:
We should live as bees:-
In divine labors of love,
Let us collectively live:-
The material world
is immaterial
The world of consciousness
is conscious
That the physical world
Is part and parcel of
Consciousness
miasmic,
alighting the foul bourgeois powers that be
bounce like carrion crows
on the prone corpse
of the bled world.
She is like the wind.
She is like the rain.
She is like the process,
that begins over again
and ends in vain.
Sentiment
is universal
Languages
proclaim
In many tongues
and voices
What lives within
— the same
(Dreamsleep: October, 2025)
walking on dew laden blades
trailing footprints leading to school
returning, not a trace remains
forgotten footprints like history lessons
One at a time
He climbs the steps
breath uneven, labored
Though crossing crowded streets
he's agile as a jaybird
A yellowish orange color
It's like gold
That sparkles in the rain.
A relic or the missing link?
You're like “Plato” they say—Do they think
I'm that colossal
Or a sentient fossil—
A “Play Dough” primordial stink?
her smile could melt
ice cream on top of
mt. Everest.
she didn't think she
was that cute.
but her name must've
been Just Pretty...
the ballroom dancers
pirouette like tornado
divinely waltzing

Simile
my love is like
old men strumming
fingers on table
to ancient tunes
at VFW Friday nights;
between tales of old wars
in forgotten places.

OF OUR SNOWBALLED LOVE
Let our love not be
Like a snowball in a fire;
But a deep freezer:
Solidified as can be,
Even in the hottest times:-
