as the cat stalks
chill winds blow...

white porcelain leaves of tea
squinting hard to see...

Hammer pulled back
Eye closed the other squinting
Thumb throbs from impact

mist over mountains
squinting to see through the fog
silhouette of deer

We must be vigilant to 
the shards of radiance and splendor 
that flash 
before our squinting cynic eyes....

Morning approaching fast…
Hateful sound of dreaded alarm
I’m squinting my eyes, realize
Dreams are gone and it all starts again....

Squinting, straining ocular muscles
  unveils a lonely, battered beacon
astride distant shores, welcome signal
  to weary sailors bleary-eyed...

A walk on a warm winter's day
   Birds chirping and children at play
Folks smiling 'neath squinting sunshine
   Earth's river flows peaceful today...

brimmed eyes 
squinting against the noon brightness.
gloved hands 
wiping the salty drops away.
denim moving
with the lankiness beneath.
strong lines
rising as the maul swings...

The stooped gait
   the squinting eye
A curmudgeon sure
   personified...

Yet when from parted lips
  his timeless treasures poured
The very Founts of Wisdom
  yearned for even more...

The lurid moon-
Dim as an eye, 
squinting, and
waning unnoticed in 
the despair of darkness,
like souls that trudge
through the roadless
vast transit of Sheol.
Guideless wanderers 
lost: no spirit, essence,
nor aim....

Blinking,
out of focus,
beyond the frame,

hidden very well,
pointing, clicking, snapping,

silhouettes, visions of illusory 
promise,

squinting,
straining to see,
the slice of reality,

left outside the mosaic...

Why do passengers freak out when driving in my car
Do they feel insecure coz I'm old and can't see very far
Is it the squinting stuff
Or driving in the buff
Should I worry explaining to the cops my behavior bizarre...

you 
on the beach
in the blazing sun 
face down
       naked 
on the sand
soft waves 
lapping
at the shore
sea water 
glistening
   on your skin
 blue eyes
squinting
      up at me

the scent 
of you
even now
    lingers...

Why do passengers freak out when I'm driving the car
Do they feel insecure just coz I'm old, can't see very far
Is it the squinting stuff
Or driving in the buff?
Should I worry explaining to the cops my behavior bizarre?...

OLD SOLitary Lovers

Sun worshippers these sunflowers
turning their backs on their tenders
lolling in the squinting rays of sunrise
stretching to catch last touch of sunset
sadly hanging their heads at dusk.

Flying away as feathers is her smiling skirt
Blouse flaps itself as eagle wings in windy sky
Her legs tantalizing gazers as ripe sugar cane
With the eyes squinting as vale blue berries
And the hair like peeling off Sahara waste 
Pelt men as horses in a poorly shot movie...

                            Blinding, squinting sight
                              Kaleidoscope of colors
                                  Blurry sanity

Halloween frights creep ever nearer,
their mask-less faces are peeping,
squinting in the daylight.

The children are restless
they tug at invisible hands
pulling us away from what we fear.

Hours are bewitching the sun.
Monsters roam Party Shops
haunted by our bad dreams....

SUNSET

Squinting at a blinding white sun
The whole of planet Earth turns
And from the viewpoint of us all
A fiery giant ball of red and gold
Dips so slowly below the horizon
Until the merest sliver disappears
And recognises time for darkness
Leaving a crescent moon smiling...

How the question
Troubled me so
Squinting for clarity

Revealed when ready
Seems clearer now
In a hazy sort of way

Creativity
Talents to exploit
Almost too late

Feeling I have to rush
Before crossing the finish line
To earn any celestial reward

Waiting to be
Blinded by
Snowflakes of
Beauty falling
From the sky.
Eyes squinting,
Mouth opened
Wide just
For droplets of
Frozen water to
Touch the sensitive
Muscles of my 
Tongue. Dying 
From dehydration
With only the 
Intent of
Catching a
Beautiful
Snowflake
On my tongue...

Point of View

Hag in the mirror
Squinting at me
Waiting and watching
A young face to see.

She doesn’t know
Face that stares back
Never thought she’d see
That old hag in black.

But here they are
Alone the two
Seeing each one 
From own point of view.
