Simmer
The simmer of a summer sky
by favor of the golden sun
Invites my mind to seek and play
such memories

Dinner Bell
The sun will shine,
The moon will rise.
The nights will always glimmer.
The birds will fly,
The bugs will glide,
The people will hide for winter.
Everyday subsidies,
Everyday I survived,
I still don’t feel like a winner.
All the plates will be shined,
All the guests get invites,
But I’ll still eat alone for

A BRIEF POETIC SIMMER
once
again
the warmth
of sunshine
showered my being
awakening the inkwell of mind
overflowing in musing contemplations
of allegorical messages
of a fertile womb
of mind seeking to inoculate
others against infectious
lies of deceit
sowing apathtic seeds towards
empty scales of justice
and plowing
that pandemic-abracadabra
oppressor syndrome
that we must uproot
in the awareness
of ancient poetic-tragedies
being a thing of the past
and that we must be even stronger
than

Through wanderings of dreams that simmer beneath closed eyelids
Through wanderings of dreams that simmer beneath closed eyelids,
A man chose to remain silent, waiting in vain for vibrant moments.
Wrapped in the warm cocoon of faded security,
He saw life turning down a different street, laying out its crimson carpet of fear.
Chained in the comfort of complacency, he watches time come and go,
With a deafened heart,

Brain Simmer
my brain
simmers like scrambled
eggs
on a stovetop burner
round like that clock
hanging on the wall
tick tock ticking away...
observing eyes fixed
watching with intent
me a-waiting test results
brain flopping

Christmas Stories Started To Simmer
Christmas Stories Started To Simmer
Christmas stories we heard would simmer,
When of hope we had wanted a glimmer,
And each hour,
Bloomed a flower;
From God receive things we do remember.

Indian Simmer
There once was a sweet Shawnee squaw
Who left home and Ma and her Paw
They had given her life
But he’d wanted a WIFE!
So she left with that brave Checotah.
The Checotah brave was a knave
Made his fine Shawnee bride his slave
she ditched his rawhide
And left on his ride
That’ll teach that guy to behave!
Well, the horse was

Simmer
The times I break are the times I lie
Holding onto what I wished was us
I promise I'll stay strong
For the both of us you'll see
There's more to me than the obvious
Hardened and unforgiving to the naked eye
I need someone to see through me
I need someone to understand
There's a dash of hope and a pinch of

For This I Simmer
think I was stuck in a pot of
Mud,
On the other hand, was it red clay?
How I got there, I do not know
I beg and beg for someone to
Remove me from this hot
Desolate place..
My brother just said cat, you
Need a bit more sun
Than you, be all right!
I promise you will,
Just simmer, bake a few more
Minutes..
I asked
