Love Without Hope

Love without hope, is a rose without fragrance
Random musical notes, that have no cadence
An extinguished candle, by an unpromising wind
Where the heart panhandles, to a disheartening whim

You Cross My Path

You cross my path 
With your sweet, cautious words
H e s i t a n t
Unpromising 
in every step 

But your smile leaves me 
breathless 
Your touch 
Whirlwinds me
Arrows my soul
Tears my heart open 


Will a new light ever get in?

A Reckless Longing

The lady who serves counter
at the bodega knows my weakness for dry sherry,
a wordless gentleness between knowing smiles.
There is this connective tissue,
of an inappropriate and unpromising kind
that tentatively links to a reckless longing
not just for dry sherry,
but to a secret accomplice
who serves counter at the bodega.

Hope

Hope

like an old sick-dying man
who
hopes to get well and return to strength
hope
like a pregnant woman 
whose
9 months is over but still no labor
hope
like a farmer 
who
has planted seeds in a dry-unpromising land
hope
like an unmarried-single woman
who
hopes for a wonderful wedding day
hope
for hope is indeed dope.

Message In a Bottle

I am hollow, I exist,
The train that no one missed - 
Or wanted to catch anyway.
I am here, I am alive,
Seeking any joy I can derive
From another unpromising day.
I stay and I remain,
Life in the slow lane
As time drives away,
A hit and run, don’t look back,
Keep your eyes to the tarmac
And hope and wish and pray
For better, always better,
A bottle holds a letter,
A message gone astray;
No one listens because no one hears,
The world folds in and disappears,
As you return to earth, to clay.

Feed Me, Free Me

Feed me, Free me.
Free my heart and body.
Unbind me from this phase of blues 
and unpromising associations.

Separate me from mornings of base 
talk and dusk of drunk peers.
Annihilate my tolerance for mediocre 
and bogus surroundings.

Feed my soul and thoughts.
Set me at the table of the wise and 
deep ones,
pump me with the will and vigour to 
relate.

Carry me to terrains where like minds 
dwell.

'I'm ready', i scream
'a little more time', he says..
I wait and yearn.
