Turned away 
Unable to withdraw
Turned towards
Unable to get close
Invisible forces in action
Unable to resist
Despite desperate intentions
Always unable
To resist your magnetism

Complex Change

It seems like the old you and now are different.
The smile that reflects in your eyes is no longer the same.
Hair that flips when you walk is no longer shiny,
Tired eyes and body want to fight, but they're too skinny.

The old you that laughed genuinely,
A smile that made your cheeks feel chubby.
A walk that looked

Premium Memberunable to solve the case

A dozen dancing markers ran through the streets screaming for help
Avoiding Mr. Gold and his thugs as best they could
Unfortunately, coal and ebony got lost in a Chicago alley
Their runaway plans thwarted when the mafioso grabbed them.
I asked if the film maker had gotten this on video.
She said yes, and she had zoomed in on

Unable to let go

Foundation of the piece.


Is life just a purging of the soul and to ascend to a higher plane of existence,

do you have to let go of everything and everybody you once loved or knew? 

To do so?

Or would you wait to be called to join them if separated because you couldn't let go of your

Unable to feel love

Unable to feel love


A shadow hangs, a constant chill,
Despite their warmth, my heart stands still.
They say they love, with words so kind,
But in my soul, no solace I can find.

Their touch, a breeze that barely blows,
A distant echo, where affection grows.
Their smiles, a mask they wear so well,
While mine, a truth, their love can't tell.

I

Perche' Di Notte Non Riesco A Dormire-Why At Night I'm Unable To Sleep

Perche' di notte non riesco a dormire;
ah, potro' mai sognare un mare scintillante
e stringerti in queste braccia cosi' calde
e non cercare piu' quella luna di neve?

Why at night am I unable to sleep;
ah, could I ever dream of the glittering deep
and hold you in these warm arms and not
look for that snowy moon so unbright?

Perche'

The Puppet and the Strings

you are the puppet,
I am the strings,
and yet you control everything,
to wake up each day
with a promise I've made,
only for you 
to not see it through,
does anything matter to you?
alone in my bed,
wandering thoughts,
what's it for,
to sit and rot?
I'd rather not,
but here you lay
wasting each day
like it's worthless to you anyways,
with strings I command,
yet you

Hidden In Plain Sight Virtually Unable 2 See

Surely it is virtually impossible

To hide and disguise

In plain sight

Of curious mind eyes

The quite patently blatantly obvious

Unless that is of course 

Those they who are

Looking and watching on 

Are so terminally stupid

And utterly delusional

In the end it all makes

Perfect sense

As we only see

What we want to until 

Everything else becomes somehow

Somewhat superfluous 

If we do

Premium MemberUnable of Late

Of late, I seem unable
To write a song or fable.
Perhaps it’s too much caffeine;
I seem to be unstable.

Now recently, I’m shaking;
My muscles have been aching.
I may be lacking protein,
Or maybe I’m just faking.

A certain strange malodor;
Those germs are all freeloaders.
Perhaps it is my hygiene,
My wife complained, I showed her.

Perhaps it’s too much caffeine,
I may be

Aur mai samjhaunga bhi… 
Abhi mai nai bhasha seekh raha hu.

Premium MemberSopie Helen Is Unable To Walk Today

We have had nineteen dogs. Sophie Helen, our black cocker spaniel, 
has been with us for eleven years; not our record, but close.

Today she cannot lift her back end. Is it her weight? Her age?
Are her legs too weak?
Has she had a stroke? I carry her all around inside and outside.

We discuss options.
Wonder if she

Unable To Breathe I Chokingly Gasp For Air

Far as the (ease) 
severely myopic eyes can see,
nothing but polluted atmosphere
where skull and crossbones
memento mori betokens beware,

especially with increasing chronology
mortality becomes crystal clear
existential crisis yours truly didst despair
not so much death itself, but failure
(inadequacy) at livingsocial

mine life to the hilt
plain as day everywhere
casual attitude apropos
(pertinent personal paradigm
regarding aspiring poet)
equals laissez faire,
hence the following

Unable To Bid Papa Goodbye

Nonagenarian father afflicted,
his body electric awry
with congenital heart failure,
before long twill bid existence bye
whose physical well being -
corporeal essence inevitably will die

unavoidable manifest destiny...
accompanied into afterlife courtesy death
envision caricature immortal grim reaper
moost ofttimes (normally leering)
brandishing trademark scythe,
impossible mission to skirt dark shadow

creeping closer along edge of night, not shy,
eclipsing former robust native son Brooklyn
once upon

Through Deep Darkness Unable To Steer

It was deep dark, silence roaming outside
if I couldn't see and hear, it is  myself to chide
the urge within pushed my fright aside
time to open the gates of my soul wide.

My journeys I used to have on my own
seeking sheer thrill in my serene zone
for what I painfully miss, I strive to atone
thriving when
