His Misty Eyes

Stoically he sat
keeping the tears static
in his misty eyes while
my tears burst like rain clouds.
We let time pass, then rose
to leave the theater.

Words Are Poetic Birds Flying

Words are birds
flying against the sun,
fly and come from heaven
to the ground...
words acquire ink
with the rain and the air,
 ending in poetry
that I transcribe them here...
stoically!

World On the Back

It would be easier 
           endure the world
             on the back,
           if each one volunteered
             with his own shoulder 
             resiliently,
             stoically...

A Dragonfly's Touch! Haiku

Dragonflies flew to me now
They know I am true-blue
With patented fly-byes
They stoically ‘fashion'  
 Inspiring visits

Favorites

Sitting stoically
Two furry faces
Gaze upon faded photos.
Once cherished,
Hugged, wept over,
Drooled on
Forever friends
Now
Silent sentinels
Chewed ears
Button eye
Pablum stained
Guardians
Of a fading
Moment.

Saturday

Saturday
A sad rain teases the windows
Spring worms wriggle gleefully
Robins do a wing shake flash dance
Wet squirrels shake their tails
The cat paws at the litter box
Dogs in tiny raincoats hide their faces
The garden Buddha stoically drips
I ponder the rings of my coffee cup

When She Left

when she left
emerald spears
lay rusting
in the ground
partially veiled
by lost companions

 shed skeletons
stoically stand skyward
stabbing space

silence captures all
as water flakes
fall quietly to the tarp

crackling fuel 
in the room’s womb
melts the chilled void
she left behind

Gn Vibes

Vibes ride high tide
Inside minds eyes
Spilling up within sky
Limitless without divide

Onward gracious hearts
Beating pumping art
Souls breathe eternally 
Against grain breaking free

Community eloped within thee
Hands fall upwards stoically
Pores elate priceless synergy 
The chemistry the chemistry

Life Climbing

Constantly and
             stoically
             we climbed the real
             mountain...
             In the tough climb
             of life...
             Because we became
             obsolete,
             as we pass
             from the present,
             to hodiernal
             future...

Journey

Daily and
                      stoically
                 we climbed the mountain
                 real...
               on the strong climb
               of life...
             Well we came
             from the past,
             and so we passed
             of the present,
             for today
             future...

Outside

A cardinal was perched outside my window this morning
The sun shone brightly after a long night of storming

Stoically, it sat alone in a barren tree
As I slowly sipped from my tea cup, it turned and looked at me

Then suddenly, it turned back as it peacefully flew away
A coy smile dressed my face as I thought, "It's going to be a good day."

Way To Happiness

There are no paths to happiness,
  However, backpack on the back,
          Eyes fixed on chance,
   And the boots on the road,
           Discover them
        stoically, leniently...
   strive, start again until exhaustion
         it is worthwhile ...!

Walk of Life

daIly,
                      stoically
                 we climb real
                 Mountain
                 on foot...
               on the crucial climb
               of life...
             because we came
             of long ago,
             and we passed
             from the present,
             into the unknown
             future...

Amorous Alchemy

Ever it was, so let it be
The sun, moon, stars
Venus and Mars
And man's heart, stoically.

Ever it shall, so let it say
When upon morning's light
Struggles, sacrifice, fight
Over love hold sway.

Ever it will, so if I must
Bend impossibly unbroken
Give more than yet token
Yea,  risk all my being, on trust.

Ever it is, so let us be
You were, I was, we are
And having journeyed far
Our horizon beckons wantonly.

Choose

In life we all have to choose
No matter your options
It's something you can't refuse

Choose to stand
Choose to fall
Choose to rise above it all

Choose to live 
Choose to die
Choose the truth
Choose to live a life of lies

Choose to lose
Choose to fight
Choose to quit
Choose it all to begin

Don't sit stoically like a statue
It's your life
It's your light to choose
To either fade away
Or to come alive in

-mother Wangari Maathai-

(A dedication)


Pain wracked torture
She suffered
with degradition smeared
was inhumanely beaten and batted
and consistently incarcerated
she stoically endured
All for her love
of her land

Her persistence
was not in vain 
through her efforts
Kenya's green belt grew
over forty-million
trees were planted
all through her motivational strive
Mother Wangari Maathai's
inspiration lives and thrives
Yet still to this day.

Planking

Outstretched on all toes and both elbows 
How long will the body remain suspended, only a man's will knows
Blood pressure and stress coming down 
In this ephemeral stillness, better health is found
With deep breaths in and long breaths out
Better posture and balance are achieved, no doubt 
Elevated focus, awareness, and a waistline that's shrinking 
Never mind the stoically static body that's away from the floor, just know the owner is planking

Toxic State

TOXIC STATE                               Double Acrostic

             Troubling terribly
             Opting to overcome.
             X-axis and Y-axis of mind distorted,
             Indicating
             Chaos or crazy connivance.

             Stoically shattered sick
             Totally turbulent.
             Arid abusive
             Tottering torpidity
             Enraged erratic.

Ash

She stood stoically fighting
the disease that crept through 
her dry trunk
Sapping her life,
withering her leaves,
leaving her naked limbs
silhouetted against the
summer moon.

Her Roots retracting from the
moist soil
lose their grip on the earth
Until slowly, imperceptibly,
She leans
She falls

Lying in her lost leaves
her resting place accepts her
Embracing her death 
with its life
Slowly, imperceptibly
She is subsumed
Until
Under a summer moon
A sapling grows

awaken

Awaken 

in the pit of his stomach 
an animalistic fear
a dread of death
The brain denies this 
feeling, stoically accept 
the inevitable 
Yet, the fear persists
waking him up at night
Dark is the bedroom
so cold
widows have frost roses
He walks about
in the living room
drinks a glass of water
in the kitchen
He goes back to bed
but keeps 
the night light on
a mellow light
gives him comfort 
No, he is not alone
in the vastness 
of space

A Chicken At the Crossroads

A chicken at the crossroads
I declined
to venture anywhere
outside my mind
and so I sat beside a Buddha stoned
to stoically espy on all mankind.

The mindless click of crickets
drove me mad
‘neath tears of weeping willows
why so sad?
life’s ebb and flow left marks
time can’t erase
added character
to a now nameless face.

So it would seem
a silent wish was granted
when I was told to
“bloom where you were planted”.
