Strength has rusted deep into my spine, a beautiful, corroded iron
...Strength has rusted deep into my spine, a beautiful, corroded iron,
Twisting through each vertebra like a vine of steel, a bittersweet trap,
They call it resilience, but I call it a silent tomb, a ...

Time tarries not
...Time tarries not for anyone,
Still, I can't outpace my shadow.
Forever chasing what’s begun,
Success, in its season, will show.
Not minding little yet achieved,
Time tarries not for anyone.

...They could be anywhere
Greased on my bus fare. Any Tom Dick or Jack and Solitaire

...Sometimes I muse that life can be a *itch
When every prospect seems of rosy hue
From cerulean sky a fatal glitch
Precipitates its mischief; then I rue
That naive expectation of a child
On whom D...

Dream Night
...Dream night
My wine glass is full of moonlight,
drank and floated dreamily, on a carpet of night.
Couldn’t resist the moon’s pull, my home bathed in a spectral
light, both beautiful and mor...

The Forgotten Teacher
...The city's dark and silent streets
Are wet and cold in late November.
The trees stand still; a fireplace heats
A house which few care to remember.

Nine Haiku About One Thing
...And she picked it up -
The sleek black and white feather,
Threw it in the bin.
Black and white against
Unrelieved grey. Graceful curve
Against the straight lines.
A flash of beauty
In the ...

The first mate, dour and sparse of words
Claimed few things were his pleasure
And too much beer had brought him here,

The air lay thick and still.
The leaves hung flaccid on the trees,
As if slumbering in a deep sleep.
No birds were to be heard
For they were hiding from the heat.

The Value of E-Bay
...Sometimes he needs, driven by
remnants of hunger for things
that he can find on E-Bay, gifts.

like a trip through mayonaisse,

betrayal passionately suggests
Our future- parallel in jest
From jumping many potholes
Freewheeling college enterprises
Found my candle beside a manhole
Your tongue is dirty...

Fellow travelers merging as traffic flows,
the freedom gained by linkage seems unreal
across the world on rivers others go.
No beaten paths are w...
