Smitten by Kitten Disinterest

never loved cat ways
their tail-flicking arrogance
their unasked-for gaze
my family longed for one —
I yielded, keeping distance

stray kitten arrived
they all fawned gushed over it
but the...

A Beautiful Lie

...
She met him one October day,
When autumn winds had lost their way.
Leaves whispered secrets down the street,
And fate, unasked, had planned their meet.

He smiled the way the sun m...

Iran and Israel: Mirrors in the Dust

...In courts of shadow, thrones are made,
Not by virtue—but by blade.
From Persia’s gate to Zion’s hill,
It’s not peace, but will, that breaks the still.

Two lions stare with burning eyes,
Clad i...

The Undeniable

...He walks in — not enters.
Like dusk folding over day.
No swagger, no need,
just the echo of boots
and the hush of questions unasked.

Black coat,
black eyes,
black thoughts he never spills.

Ether

...Darkness.
Drip.
Not absence,
but a rarified vastness
thick with hush,
like a cavern 
carved behind my eyes.

Drip.

Somewhere, water—
not seen,
just heard,
each dr...

Nocturnes of Surrender

...

You speak, and my spine remembers
that I was built to bow.
Your breath: a nocturne in C sharp minor—

When Time Looks Back

So many things are left unasked.
It can be slow and dreading,
Threading softly through.

Or as fast as a lightning bolt,
So speedy, it makes you greedy.

And wh...

Exclamation Point

...I sat with the mark, sharp and bright,
Curved at the tip—a flash of light.
"Why the flare?" I asked, "What’s the need
For such a wild, untamed stampede?"
With a shudder, it shook, then did confid...

Butterfly's Wander

...Once upon a time
the old songs were new
On prairies unplanted
invaders were few 

Where rivers rolled onward
no ferries or towns
All riverboat minstrels
new ages impound

The time of the se...

The Unasked Prayer, The Unspoken Plea

...When whispers rise, 'Pray for me,'
From lips that claim no they have no belief,                                                                                                     Don't let judgment...

This World That Takes

...This World That Takes

I gave too much.
A chalice filled to the brim,
pouring over,
love spilling, although unasked for,
but the world took it anyway.

It takes.
All it does is take.

Silent Atlas

...It's 5:30 AM, sky bruised and quiet,
And he’s there at my feet, my loyal companion,
Eyes bright, no judgment, just need.
Out we go, one steady step, then another,
Field sprawled wide, we chase th...

MY Capt'n

...TIS thine bottled tat's tasked whence be thine edge
Be naught in wallows dew supine vogue cast
Youth triumphed hour as a young promised fledge
Barkeeper, be thoust days numbered--till asked
All s...

Your knowledge kindled, my ignorance tossed.

From a timid flicker to a steady glow,
Our bond, like embers, began to grow.
