Softness and Warmth

softer then cotton
warm as a hot cup of tea
cat purrs beside me

Lazy Day

palm trees standing tall
   hammock swaying in the breeze
calm before the storm.

Alone

December's harshness in the air
can never quite compare to the ice
inside your eyes-your stoic lack
of apathy.

So now your gone,
and what have you left me?
warm wine three quarters 
left untouched;

a faded photo down the hall;
drab dishes stacked in
stained grey cabinets.

The oaken table left
unfinished beside a
bare and sterile wall.

Do not return again, my love;
. To many chilly days have been
absorbed into -to many frigid nights.

Awake

winter snow so warm
     In a dream-in a vision
Awake now-cold

Eventide

warm breeze eventide
fireflies light pink roses
crickets sing a song.

Nothing Now

silent as a hush
tranquil as a summer star
death knows nothing now.

I Am

At times I am a dusty path
where soles of souls tramp over me.

Sometimes the helpless Lilly
bent backwards by a heavy breeze
that snaps the stem so easily.

But the times I am the tall majestic tree;
opalescent leaves full of fire;

then I am who I truly am-
my glory blazing brilliantly.

I Wonder

There is a whisper through the wind
a sort of haunting
yet charming  thing.

A quiet flutter
from an old oak tree
while cricket's 
perfect rhythm 
replenish the land

I sit by placidly
as if seized by a dream,
closing my eyes: 

                     I wonder
                 and wonder
                 and wonder

but I'll never know

Time

Now is always now.
that now is now gone;
here comes a new now
(and so it goes.)

My Italian Aunt
once told me:
'"Allen, whatever you do,
don't grow old."

She was in her eighties then;
bad back, eyes gone dim,
kidneys in serious lack.

Like a withered tree
she shriveled up
and blew away.

I took her words to wisdom
always knowing that
it can't be done.

This Day

a day so happy
hibiscus all around me
tears another day.
