Summer Vignettes

Cruising in a yacht
Sailing on the sparkling sea
Seagulls squawk above
 
Walking on the shore
Drinking sweet pineapple juice
And collecting shells
 
Taking a moment
To breathe in the salty scent
Of the pleasant breeze
 
Sitting in the shade
Under coconut palm trees
And licking ice-cream 
 
Waves washing away
Footprints left in the soft sand
And flooding castles
 
Shh, listen closely
To hear the sun sizzle on
The ocean's surface

Vignettes

In the corner weighing 200 pounds
trying to make myself small to escape
notice in the fog of Dad's drunken rage.

Waking in darkness seeing in light 
from the living room Dad's bloody face
begging Mom to take blame for the accident. 

Around the dining room wiping up blood
from Mom's broken nose while Dad worries 
she called the police

The Soul is a Series of Episodic Vignettes

fade out from the camera lens
the lotus bloomed from the broken glass soil
all things came into perspective
as every toil was put into focus

every shard set a different scene
a series kaleidoscopic
following film made of a red thread
sewn in a fashion erratic and episodic

singing songs of worship to the mirror man
in a language no one understands
babble in

Vignettes a Collection

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.



VIGNETTE-ALL OF A ZITHER

Across Vienna's old town
In a sewer underground,
They tracked down..Harry LIme,
A Third Man in a crime-
To music so sublime.
VIGNETTE -ON THE BEACH

Prone,lying side by side
Lapped by an ebbing tide,
Together upon

Vignettes

Like a sheet of mercury glass
reflects light imperfectly,
I pass life’s mirror,
capturing distorted vignettes,
experiences faded on the edges
or, here and there, heightened focus 
amplified the ridges of our years.
Funny how perception can exaggerate memory;
our mirrors may stand side by side,
but the image is not identical.

Vignettes of a Ghetto

A morning bustles with activity. Folks go about their day, including a Siamese cat creeping past the sidewalk. But appearances are deceiving. This place isn't Disney World. Every day is a struggle for survival. A disheveled, drug-addicted homeless man across the street sits in the bower, on his cot. He's lost in a delirium; under

The Ins and Outs of Silence

four vignettes on silence

I
Muteness broadcasted
hush-hush flaunted
just like a coverall,
silence is a blanket
on human telepathy and intent.

II
It's simple, actions speak as loudly as words.
Silent treatment can be an
autumn breeze,
granting space
cooling tempers.

III
Sulkiness can be likened to
green gall, blatant brooding
and withdrawal characterized as
yellow cowardice,
Passive aggressive behavior exposed.

IV
Cats, life-long friends, co-workers all employ
loving acts, yet silence...
licking, ankle rubs
eye winks,

VIGNETTE-ALL OF A ZITHER

Across Vienna's old town

They tracked down..Harry LIme,
A Third Man

She: a Series of Vignettes

She is hot and cold,
keenly engaged then a
distant horizon.

She is like cotton candy,
so sweet and pretty but in 
one bite evades me.

She doesn't respond
to my deep probing questions
impenetrable.

But when she is with me
the whole world reverberates
the passion we share.

Immersed in love's gaze
I see her soul leaping
spontaneously.

Always a question
whenever we meet is
who are you today.

Love Is -- Vignettes

Love Is...
 
I

Elusive mist passes through her fingers
Love envelopes and clings hot and humid
Once dry she wonders if she ever felt anything at all
Parched she cracks and awaits the rain

II

Swimming deep and then buoyed to the surface
She bubbles with excitement
Glorious joy infuses her being
Love engulfs her as she drowns

III

A cool glass beaded with moisture
In control

Vignettes

Vignettes and clips
Fling sober mind trips;
Watch heavy heart skip
Tears ooze with mood flips.


Wherever I roam,
Feelings promptly sigh;
Tender thoughts of home
Ply through august skies.


Touch of warm July
Sun-drenched pathways bright;
I hear stray bird cries
In this sunny light.


So I weave a tale
As verse comes around;
Let silence avail
Unknown yet profound.


Home is a fond place
Where heart finds true rest;
Where soul

Vignettes

I crave for them in weaves of light
And scan life’s vignettes on my mind
Their charmed love wraps me day and night

By the porch, his guitar sings bright
Relieving heart’s joys so entwined
I crave for them in weaves of light

My grandma's laughter soft and sprite
My grandpa's brown eyes, firm yet kind
Their charmed love wraps me day and

Vignettes In Snow

sublime quilt 
of dormant shimmers
in lethargic winter sunshine
stretched on shivering earth
as finger caresses of peace.

turning variegated world
into a room filled
with feathers floating from
bursting womb
of sailing pillows on azure.

pouring wisps of manna
from chalices in heavens,
falling through misty translucence
to salve blisters on
breast of earth in chilblain.

muted rhapsodies of drizzles
resound as whispers of
snow crystals with soar throat
humming ambiguous
