Unimpeded night
Poured a stillness in the air
Moon rose to midnight...

Unimpeded night
The clear moon rose to midnight
Stillness in the air...

Foreign, Black, Rainbows, and White.
Separated, a nations delusional right?
Trust in that, reality it's a grey matter.
For these barriers only open minds will shatter.

Love and Death

Inseparable these are..
Inseparable and pointing
To the knowing
Of who we are..
Death points to our 
Frantic or calm
Entering and departing..
Love stands still
While noticing how our
Entrances and departures
Left unimpeded
Do not linger at all......

Racing down the highway, enjoying the open road
 Off on another road trip to another zip code
 A stop for gas when needed
 Dashing off again, unimpeded

 Traveling through sunshine and rain
 Right turns then left again
 In and out of traffic in my jeep
 Passing other cars  until  my destination is reached...

At 3:00 you hear the squeals
As children race from school.
Exuberance goes hand in hand
With youngsters, as a rule.

As puberty advances
And the kids hit junior high,
Such squealing seems the type of thing
They’d have to justify.

Self-consciousness wreaks havoc
With the way a person feels,
So fallen by the wayside
Are those unimpeded squeals....

Slithering distractions

Taunting from the narrows
Rummaging the pain
Oscillating arrows
Lasting is the stain

Lurking in the alleys
Seeking other’s tears
Once the number tallies
Nudging on the fears

Slithering distractions
Ominous display
Undesired actions
People run away

Spewing like a fountain
Unimpeded hate
Cast them from the mountain
Kick them to their fate...

What I want to say
Would race across the universe
Unimpeded, unemcumbered, unrestrained
Accelerated by the force acting behind it
By my beloved Newton's second law.

By stars in her eyes
By his heavenly body
By clouds of ideas
And by clusters of dreams
What I would say would travel
Upward, outward, and beyond
Like a comet of words
With a tail of tales
If I could only tell....

With winter’s chilling sigh
Breathing through the air,
Seagulls continue to fly
Drifting circles—midair.

“Here”, he quietly declare
Alone to his crying heart.
On a colored beach chair
He waits lone to depart.

Seagulls call a plaintive cry
Circling over a silver sea;
Feeling his loss—his yen to die, 
They turn away to flee.

A sigh escapes his lips.
He mourns a life ceded—
His cries go unheeded.
Grief grows unimpeded....

Listen to poem:

stuffed with self, extruded
he staggered, drunk selfish
unable to hear,
unable to imbibe the context.
blinded by mirrors reflecting
distorted selfies in a slide show,
content with mindfulness
walking on the beach, he tripped 
fell forward, distracted,
fell face-down, mindless, 
limp and unimpeded, 
no hands caught his fall,
leaving his mask, full-facial
and expression-less, 
a self-portrait impression
a blip embedded in the sand....
