Pigeon Love
I wondered when we met
why those beady eyes were brooding
You smothered me with feathers
and started your canoodling
If only you'd stepped back
and allowed me space to breathe
before you fetched a ring
and got down on one knee
Reading all your mails and texts
would drive a bird to drink
so I've thrown away my phone
and I don't care what you think
I've changed my name and flown
to an island that's remote
a place you couldn't visit
not even with a boat
Next time you're on a date
be sure...

You smothered me with feathers
and started your canoodling
If only you'd stepped back

so I've thrown away my phone
and I don't care what you think

Looking Up (2024)
cumulus, nimbus, stratus clouds too
move through the air enriching sky's blue
forever changing as they drift by,
when watching the heavens above where I lie -
in every season, in day and too night
above in the sky a magnificent sight
encircles the planet embracing the world -
all is in motion swirling and twirled
often in colours engaging, sublime
inner reflections that tantalize mind
in early morning and before night
when Moon is a ghostly galleon sight
always the best show in town
is up in the sky and is...

TAKE WHAT YOU WANT (2)
THE
naked body lying
sprawled in bed said:
"Take what you want!"
I did from nose to toes.

Please leave your name, number, and reason for calling, and I'll return your call promptly.
Mangled and torn,
I still ask for you.
It's your name,
that stumbled past my teeth.
It's you,
who will not come.
Yet I call,
and will continue to.
The sirens are loud,
and sound like your voice that night.
With bright lights above,
I feel empty and cold.
The continued silence
of my phone fills the air.
Hope grows weary,
and my cheeks are dried.
I see your hands,
reaching for me.
But they are not yours,
for they are gloved and cold.
Your warmth is not here,
and...
I still ask for you.
It's your name,
that stumbled past my teeth.
It's you,
who will not come.
Yet I call,
and will continue to.
The sirens are loud,
and sound like your voice that night.
With bright lights above,
I feel empty and cold.
The continued silence
of my phone fills the air.
Hope grows weary,
and my cheeks are dried.
I see your hands,
reaching for me.
But they are not yours,
for they are gloved and cold.
Your warmth is not here,
and...

This Night
Very deliberately, consciously,
She felt the strength of her thighs,
Muscles first trained in dance as a child.
Her knees bent easily with reverence,
As if in prayer,
These were the legs of a young woman,
Exerting themselves for the pleasure of another.
Gazing down, the fortunate man
Saw in her a disciplined balance,
First peracted as a child at play.
But the man standing in her room
Knew nothing of her past.
He knew only her present form.
He knew nothing of her family’s love,
Nothing of her...

The Call Of September
This mornin' i woke up nicely shaped, the Fall once more still faithful to its mist.
to its chilling mornings,its mystic face, full of unpredictable tomorrows..but
they harbinger good vibes,shining and sparkling in the dew drops
that adorn the budding grass of September..
Cheerful vibes vibrate in the air, with sun rays effortlessly seep thru' the mist
and fall mild and damp on the tender ground..
Gently walking upward, the winds talking, whispering, inspiring a cool theme
on my mind; a pastoral diction in my heart, where the hills follow...

If Stones Can Cry Out, Then I know There Is Always Hope
There is only one I follow, but I will stand beside you if you are kind, if you love...forgive and can look at a full grown adult and see a child. See the child within, when the bottle touches their lips, so that they forget the rape...the abuse.
When cold steel pierces their veins so that they can get as close to the thief of death as they can without actually dying, and there, trading pieces of their broken soul for a bad memory.
When they lay cold and naked on the ground, where fancy shoes walk over them like trash laying on the sidewalks. Veterans...

Nature's Anonymous
In a silent symphony of nature's anonymous
with untitled winds whispering to trees
as God is my witness harmonizing
with the birds and the bees
embracing seasons in Autumn's shade
as a medley of leaves cascade
with infinite horizons

All about my Father
All about my Father
He is the one that
Made us
Many years ago
And we are here
Because father
Gave us our lives
That is very special
We are very happy
Living every single day
Our lives
We know that we just
Can't gamble with our lives
It is only our Father
Who can put an end
To our lives
Also we are all brother's in
My father's world
He is the one that
Made us
Many years ago
And we are here
Because father
Gave us our lives
That is very special
We are very happy
Living every single day
Our lives
We know that we just
Can't gamble with our lives
It is only our Father
Who can put an end
To our lives
Also we are all brother's in
My father's world

Even Still...Faith
Belief has to be rooted in truth, otherwise it is only a tradition that will give up its stance in the smallest of storms.

You make it easy for me
You make easy for me
To want to live every single day
And not gamble with my life
Because I have no rights to do that
You make easy for me
To want to pray for you
I never go to bed without praying for you
And you right away
Answer my prayer
When I am feeling down
You gave me a lift
When I have my crying section
You put an end to it
You always inspire me to write
The poems I write
And I just love to write
To want to live every single day
And not gamble with my life
Because I have no rights to do that
You make easy for me
To want to pray for you
I never go to bed without praying for you
And you right away
Answer my prayer
When I am feeling down
You gave me a lift
When I have my crying section
You put an end to it
You always inspire me to write
The poems I write
And I just love to write
