Clap their hands and sway
Why, the palm trees, of course...

My Heart, Felled as a TreeDeprived of your love I become a will-o-the-wisp,
a ghostlike entity, whose illumination has faded
with the echoing of your final word, "Goodbye."
Not a daunting wisp of the shimmering kind,
nor one to haunt or harm. Feel no alarm from me
for I am no longer whole, the woman I used to be.
Without your hand to hold, your lips...

The plum tree and the boyIn the center of the city,
There was a plum tree
Whose flowers were in bloom;
White and rose
They attracted the attention
Of whoever walked by;
In the morning a girl,
That was walking by the tree,
Took her camera and began to make photos;
Later on a mother with her child,
Was passing by
And her child was pointing at the tree;
The mother took...

I Am The Giving TreeI am like the giving tree,
ready to tear myself apart,
letting him seep into every fragment of me.
I carry the weight of him—
swirling in the depths of my stomach
at the mere mention of his name.
If to love is to truly know,
I’d spend every waking moment
memorizing each gesture,
every reaction he might show,
just to prove my devotion.
I’d offer...

The TreeThe tree of death or life,
A duality of existence,
The truth is obvious to the transcended
but remains the same to the unchanged.
The tree of death or life,
The darkness and sunshine of the meadow,
The lifelessness and beauty of our journey,
So much lies...

Cigars and TreeFeeling as if you’ve been kicked in the nuts with a golf shoe is similar to being ghosted by someone with you had a connection. By someone that listened. I blame myself for these feelings and for having unwarranted expectations. I blame myself for this false feeling of rejection.
In the room, smoke gathers, thick as...

A Roadside Flowering Tree“The earth laughs in flowers.”
- Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
---------------------------------------
Spring has just taken a leap
Blushing sun is on hot trail
Teases trees with playful smile.
Surprises avenue tree
Flares up flamboyant clusters
Impatient - so like new bride.
Gulmohar is her sweet name
Peacock like, scarlet petals
Her Beauty lights up sun's rays.
While the other nearby trees
Stand in bare green downplaying
Their potent...

Winter Treewinter tree
scribble on paper
shattered glass
aging masterpiece
blood vessels
interrupted sleep
morning bed hair
porcelain crazing
drought dry earth
think quickly
fungal strands
frozen pond uh-oh
straw on floor
slept-in sheets
did I lock the door
letter from a pocket
can’t reach that itch
tickly cough
grandad’s skin
winter tree

HUMAN FAMILY TREE
Trees form an alliance…you might say they’re in cahoots…
with other trees and organisms that intertwine within their roots.
Pine, fir, palm, cherry, maple…it matters not what we call them
what differences on their outsides we may see…
The thread connecting them means they are all one family…
and that family is…tree.
It’s amazing how it works…if a tree needs something...

The TreeSome see your for your beauty
But I only see the pain
No one at all can see inside
Life travels on just like a train
So strong you are, so full of life
But there's something they can't know
Deep inside the roots, a ghost
through each season darkness grows
A face so unforgiving
guilt builds just like a trap
It sucks you in,...

Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt
