Quiet, gentle breezes
Yin And Yang of a whole world

We were children
I saw you playing
And I fell in love
A lifetime later
We have our own kids
And they have all of our love

My life went off 
In a blast 
.... Of a drop 
.... Of ink 
Eileen looked 
At the Blast 
With a smile 
As if, she discovered a nebula 
In the sky....

"Niq kusy ya maaly el basha," I moaned so softly.
"Bizzezz kabira," He said as he kissed the middle of my chest.
He is always the one leaving me feeling at my best....

Give me
life music smile
I could listen
or even dance a little to
And
With a pinch of salt
on my french fries
I will be yours for
Ever

A lighthouse is an awesome sight
When sea mists blur its searching light
That phallic symbol
Makes seamen tremble
Lest a mermaid whispers, "Good night!"

Every day it is the same
Hours at the mirror
Adding more and more make-up
Hiding bruises from the night before
Another abused woman no one will ever see

Dear Pastor, please feel free 
to preach the truth to me
on lying, prying, crying,
on trying, sighing, dying
but, I beg, not gluttony.

Omnifarious cancers
Appear to elutriate the air
To the sharp turning leaves of parsimony
as fallacious acts brand us
and the flourishing hunger
betwixt our passionate fidelities
with loveless hues of death...

Being indulgent with oneself 

But intolerant with others

One, inevitably, 

Succeeds in imprisoning himself

Within the walls of ruinous hypocrisy!

After breakfast, colorful dawn, everyflying gull happy in journey.
Knowledge luminates migration, Neptune's ocean pervails.
Quavering, raging, sparkling, thunderous, unquiet,
Visualizing waves.
XII younder zodiacs above....

She made her choice
It was long after childhood
She found that nine to five would not work
She learned how to paint
Writing poetry came easy to her
She found that creation was perfect for her
It became who she was

A gray and white cat sidles up 
	against the splotchy green dumpster
and meows despite himself.

The plastic lid slams hard at the end
of another long shift. It sounds desperately final
like the North Springs station, or the highest note

of a violin....

It happens once a year
On the holiest of nights
A single star rises in the east
Calling out to all of mankind
Sharing the wish of God
Asking for a peaceful and loving world
A world that mankind can create
But only if we want to

XII. C + 1

Perchance you see yourself as you stand.

Observe as you stood.

See that you have yet know that you will.

The shadow of yourself as it was.

Resolute that it is.

Comprehend that it will be.

And so it was.

It does not take much
All it takes is a hill
A descent layer of snow
And a big ol’ bunch of kids
Then the magic starts
Snowmen, forts, and sleds
Just hundreds of kids being kids
And not a sad face in sight
A true ‘unplanned’ winter wonderland

Look at you
You are such an angel
Not a worry in the world
We all have a prayer for you
May you always be happy
Hopefully you'll never lose your laugh
Everyone you ever meet will love you
No one will ever cause you harm
And you will always just be you
The same angel we see now

Somewhere a universe away
Another Earth orbits another Sun
We have no idea what its people are like
Or even if there are any people there
All we can do is hope and pray
Maybe God saw fit to give us relatives
Even though we may never know
We can and will always believe
We are not alone

The feast was colossal; I’m not really grumbling.
I’m just feeling docile, except for the rumbling.
To put it it discreetly (I could be succincter):
I fear it’s completely defeating my sphincter.
