with down-to-earth & in the dirt
Unobtrusive obervations was his call
of cheap interiors &music hall

October

The October mist descends
Gently and quietly
Like a stranger
But unobtrusive
It brings a fresh light
Upon summer's lost end

The Rebel's Dream

Building castles out of stardust--


and sprawling cities lit by starlight.


The arranger stands on
geometric borders-


unobtrusive to the rebel's dream.

Finding Myself


All day
I have been 
searching
for myself.
And there I was,
unobtrusive,
watching on,
keeping quiet
under a loud
chatter of thoughts.
I quite often
get lost.

A Relic

It sits, unwavering, on my desk
  a relic from a by-gone era
Lowest of low tech
  its on/off chain unobtrusive

Classic lines, bronze weight
  solid as King Arthur's fortress
My initials traced in its dust
  Lights up my nights
    ~ Lets me write

Facebook

Man has reached what a plight !
Facebook a social networking site !
What does one get by browsing though profiles?
All it does is only defiles!
People keep logging in and logging out
Is it some form of sex bout ?
Why make a show of life on a site
Are we trying to fill up some empty hole inside?
Let the sails of my life gently unfurl
In my tight cozy unobtrusive world

Cardinal

Bright red flash against
the snow-filled trees,
the cardinal comes to rest
in a shower of white.
He trembles on a limb,
black eyes darting,
searching for something
to eat in the bleak landscape.
Nearby, his mate waits  
patiently, unobtrusive in
her somber browns.
He flits, one branch
to another, still for a minute.
Then he takes wing, 
and the streak of red
momentarily brightens 
the world of white.

There Once Lived a Man

I write because I need to
It's what I have to do
Put feelings down on paper
Thoughts I have towards you
It doesn't stop the longing 
That ever present ache
But it helps to write them down because
I know my love's not fake

And if somebody reads this
They'll know there lived a man
Who loved a pretty Bluebird
Who's middle name was Ann
Unshowy, unobtrusive 
In whisper, not in shout
But loved he did this Bluebird
Until his days ran out

Star Pupils

My love for you is hidden
Though well you know it's there
Right now a guest unbidden
But like surrounding air
Not visible through eyesight
Not tangible to touch
Yet present and most certain
Ubiquitous as such

And though no one can see it
There's a sign that gives away
Its existence unobtrusive 
For just you it will display
Come close now, look into my eyes
There's shapes my love imparts
They only form there when you look 
My pupils turn to hearts

Albizzia Lebbeck

Of the legumes family
They call it Albizzia Lebbeck
From Africa, her homeland
John VI took her, to Brazil
Where her bark for tanning
And for the timber industry
Her forage foliage
Are self-donations

Pleasant appearance
It is their foliage, with flowers
So unobtrusive; the fruit of African flavors 
That the number and size
Are yellow, slender pods
However, very elongated
Like long has become a lesson
The overnight that lasted
Five hundred years of slavery

Ink Tells a Tale

Auburn locks drape shoulder haphazardly

Spread upon your sack

An unobtrusive vantage

You bear no covering and are at ease

Linens scattered all about you

Neither rhyme nor reason and amidst no burden

How it baffles me

How you perform on the inner

Yet it’s your shell which vexes most unexpectedly

Your skin adorned with ink

Ink I wield to tell a tale

We, one and the other, reveal our sagas employing ink

My branded Princess
