who did not learn at the same pace

I Drank from an Hourglass
...It has long ceased to rain here.
The embers of drought are fanned by the merciless
Hands of hell.

The heat insufferable.
I cringe from a long wait on a queue in the narrow

Mother Bird Star Warmth
...Seems so surreal...billions of beings
held in place by invisible forces
atop a giant spinning orb
dependent on the charity of
mother bird's star warmth.
It's a golden time for earth and manki...

A magnet for tsuris

Summation notation of achievements

Beauty And Madness

Ethereal beauty tinged in brown, green and yellow shea
Aerial bliss, flaunting on leaves-sunkissed
Under and over my wings, I breathe yo...

Whittled Mind
...The whittle mind of self-reflection
Within a tiny bit of self-doubt
Coming from a stressful day
Life has its ups and downs that way
Can't say I enjoy it
can seem to do without it
Just another...

A War Beneath Skin
...Cells held secret ballots in my bones,
voting for mutiny in whispers.
Cancer, that drunk architect,
scribbled collapse into my blood's blueprint.
They built black gardens in my lungs,

Recounting the contents of life is work.
A vessel holding unaccountable dust

From out the grand Canal.
They each were armed with cannons four,
With mighty rationale.
Atop them flew my country's flag,
A phoenix white in pride,
It struck a...

Whittling Down
...As we age, we whittle down
The things that we can do
Or the ways that we can do them
So we last the whole day through.
I’ve whittled down my exercise
And how much I can drink.

Feeling free with music up in the trees
I hear you call my name and it becomes a race
Knowing I can no longer be at ease
Hoping you don’t read between the lines

His stroke made him slur
To me, he is ever youthful
Riding a nicotine stained Mustang
Breaking free from his bridle
Breaking free from his bride

Did you see all kinds of fees incurred?
When I utter Feodor
Fees and beyond?
And a lightyear and a “...
