Insomnia,
Besets the darkness.
While the sultans of slumber caress my iris
To usher a sweet, but faint nightmare,
From pleasant dream to pleasant dreams.
Opulent solitude,
how rich it becomes
alone in one’s shadow,
times riches in sum
To revel monastic
o’er sultans and earls,
whose joyous reflection
—your diamonds and pearls
(Dreamsleep: November, 2021)
Edward Snowden
When Edward Snowden* snowed in,
no one thought it a sin,
save the snooping sultans who froze.
When on the run or cubby-holed, for friends, he had only woes.

Sheiks and Sultans kingdom's revolt
Citizens ire and fervour a shocking jolt
Unleashing coffers, promising change they molt
While cleansing their streets with rifle and Colt
Western pots fizzle and stew
Chafing but swallowing the spicy brew
Heartburn follows; the potion they slowly chew
The side effects their sensitive systems do rue
Pherica Schmerica
Bank of America,
sultans of currency,
captains of greed.
Scourge of the ne'er-do-well,
denominational,
you mortgage your lifestyle
and they hold the deed.

A student who always got A's,
he never got nothin' but praise,
when he dropped to a C
he declared, "Woe is me!
I hope that it's merely a phase!"
Charlie and Louis
John and Miles
Bebop to Modal
Two different styles
Soul passions blowing
Harmonically through horns
Notes and chords flowing
One world and two forms
Two different times
Pioneering colossal movements
Mind-blowing lines
Luminating transitional attunements
Woodwind to brass
Saxing and trumpeting
Sweet music long last
Four sultans jazzing
Mariah’s Return
Mistral wishes
blow hope
to tomorrow
Intention
most sacred
— ushering wind

Cupid’s Bow
Indifference
and hatred
are blind

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
Godot Waits
Minding his business
biding his time
Dodging the bullets
— fate preassigned

Divinity’s Wind
Masters of War
Victors of Time
Sultans of Glory
Martyrs Sublime
