Monoku
finally shut her trap,
did the job
of being herself,
letting me
observe
in the quiet—
god,
the yapping
made her,
too human
it's like she thought
she was the artist.
now look:
line breaks
sharp again—
enough to keep
breaking
backs, morale,
slogging
the ten-ton-taken-for-granted
stones
up-up-up
Sisyphean hills,
still—
I miss her
jibber jabber.

Free verse
I am but a living corpse,
Emaciated and flogged horse.
See no light at the end of the tunnel,
Seek poetry as a channel to funnel.
Slogging all my life for everyone but me,
Such a painful responsibility you see.
Lady luck even refuses to give an appointment,
Lament do I in deep disappointment.
Death is not a solution,
Don't let cowardice get from me ammunition.
Need to look deep within,
Need to find silence in the din.

Ballad
Today’s a date I won’t forget
For it’s the day when we first met.
The sparks were there and yes, they flew
When you saw me and I saw you.
We knew inside that we would last;
Now 40 plus 2 years have passed.
Though age and stress have left their mark
They haven’t doused that primal spark.
I picture us so long ago,
Amazed at how we didn’t know
The ups and downs that we would weather,
Slogging through this life – together.

The second time around seems harder.
Perhaps slogging through the heavy air,
or seeking that old fire
casts over everything a dim, dark pallor.
Past victories gained have been broken.
Reclaiming new footing, and stalking
rougher higher peaks and eddies
vies with anticipated promises and fortune.
Third time may be much brighter.
Surely the lot revolutions, turns wheels
to a completely fresh canvas?
Sweeps away cobwebs and traps something righter.

the rock star intellectuals —
finding life a gas, smoking pot,
erupting all the free liquor,
devilish fame as a bot.
smashing guitars by the dozens,
oozing blood, alcohol and sweat.
impress daughters with their wild haze,
vocal chords slogging through their set.
a plane crash demolished their dreams
— the flash stars reap a reality.
the vibe’s dead there's no second chance
for trio erased from marquee.
