I ain’t enough

...I ain’t enough, and I know that truth
Like a blade in the chest or a cracked front tooth.
She’s gold-dust real, while I’m broke and bruised—
Tryna be a king in worn-out shoes.

She walks in room...

Point of No Return

...
A crescent moon dangles in the distance,
whilst meteors jet across Prussian blue heavens,
leaving trails of grey ash in their wake.
An abnormal, elongated silence creeps through threadbare t...

Dragonflies

...Dragonflies
 What are dragon flies?
 Something colorful flying by.
 A small critter that skims across the water.
 Maybe just a messenger?
 A positive symbol.
 A way to keep life simple.

The Anthem of Nature

...
Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit."

Star-speckled galaxies nestled in indigo stratospheres transform
Into a plethora of pastel hues, painting the canva of a...

The boy from my 5 classes again

...Sometimes he’s next to me. Close enough that the air feels different, like something charged is sitting between us. My stomach does that thing, tightens, flutters, not because I like him, not like th...

Golden Confetti

...
               
                 
                              sunlight skims the stream
                          buttercups like gold 
                                c o n f e t t i

Milk of Roses

“Milk of Roses” 

Milk of Roses
was her scent 
and great bouquets 
of baby's breath
moving messages 
that blew across hearts
underneath the bones and skin of breast

Cheese Wars

...The Edam's sailing through the air,
and Cheddar skims my head,
I duck to miss the Danish Blue,
but Brie hits me instead....

Venus

...Your darted arrow of Venus impales
Our demise persists through our veins
The echo in my heart is hopeless
What is love when death skims the surface?...

Girl with a pearl earring

...
I’m struck by the stark contrast
of her image
which leaps out
against a black background

Meeting the gaze
of her piercing blue eyes
I find her so beautiful
much more alluring than the Mona...

Blue

...How did you get up there?
Up there in the sky so fair?,
Between the tree's bare limbs
Behind where the cloud skims

How did you get down here?
Down here and along the pier?,
Under the waves of...

Bunny Rabbit Tango

...Conejo Conejito Tango (Bunny Rabbit Tango)

The mesmerizing twilight dims
across a lake a warm breeze skims
Buck, the handsome rabbit drinks,
he has no doe; his love life stinks.
He stares at h...

Songs of Nature COS No 12: AABB

...Occasions a sign as moonglade o'er lake.
Hears lay the sleeper in brevities wake,
retold roses red and violets blue,
yet best in scarlet as would maroon too
and lavender is said truer than blue

hot air billowing his black cloth canvas,
a crow sails the gray ocean of a foggy afternoon.

No flap of the wings, no readjustment
of rope and sail, it...

Of this salty ocean sea I still drink

I thought I'd escaped it so long ago
When I caressed the ball which skims it...
