The Brevity That Is Human Life
Trapped between hedonism and ennui
Gone like ash on the wind
Gone like ash on the wind

the dancer
The Dancer
At fifteen, he was a dancer with a slim body
and narrow hips, after school he walked to
the dance studio where he was welcome
and danced as long as he could
other boys bullied him and said he was
girlish, but the girls liked him because of him
the felt save
On and on he danced, the press wrote
about this talented boy, but the bullying
didn't stop to prove to them he was not a sissy
he, at eighteen, joined the Ukraine army
who could use a boy like him in a forward
position keeping an eye on the enemy ...

Helicon's Heliopause
All life is, or was, or will ever be,
is a random chance for more time;
more time to love and celebrate in rhyme
some happy soul at liberty!
A soul searching for another moment
adrift in oblivion black
doom scrolling for destiny enrollment
at large within the Zodiac!
Where anon sometime in an ebb and flow
we will constellate with the gods
no longer to care what may lay below...
a cosmos full of ends and odds.
is a random chance for more time;
more time to love and celebrate in rhyme
some happy soul at liberty!
A soul searching for another moment
adrift in oblivion black
doom scrolling for destiny enrollment
at large within the Zodiac!
Where anon sometime in an ebb and flow
we will constellate with the gods
no longer to care what may lay below...
a cosmos full of ends and odds.

Rhapsody of a St. Tropez Muse in Summer
Rhapsody of a St. Tropez Muse in Summer
Dream logic unlocked
In radiant tresses of ruby fire
Burning a path across my retina
Like Beaujolais wine on a summer day in St. Tropez
Poured across milky breasts
When heaven cannot wait to disrobe
The pre-exhibition drapery of an artist
Whose brushstrokes unveil the maiden hues
Of beachside beauty seated on the throne of the Goddess
A model of womanhood playing the harp
Divan warmed by the inner fires
Of her corporeal form reclined in majesty
With the luster of a pearlescent...

Yesterday
Yesterday
I was young and naive
I believe in things
That seemed like truths
To my unquestioning mind
I followed blindly like a sheep
I know better now than yesterday
I learned some truths of life
That I never knew before
I start to question things that is doubtful to me
To seek answers for things I do not know and understand
Today I know:
Not all things are equal
Not all things are fair
Not all crimes will be punished in this life
Not all love will be reciprocated
Tomorrow I will be wiser
I...

Democracy = mob rule
If the mob happens to be retarded
Well here we are, decades of we need to vote our way out of this.

A Thousand Years From Forever (Thirty-Two)
The Waterloo
Below Sea Level
Wade In The Water- Portals
New York, New York
Home
After the calling of twilight, the illuminating moon sits high
Blue majestic skies to surrender unto Heaven’s sweetest surprise
Captivating felines roaming in search of its handsome prey
Delighted in fusing, sentiments be that it may
Enchanted blandishments to utter for the taking makes life worth living
Fervent emotions of tender giving, sentiments spinning

Bubble Bath! (Limerick)

Whilst

in Nantucket
She said

lady of Bath.....

Saints And Sinners Week (Fuse)
Enrich your mind once again, tell yourself you are a Queen, a Goddess in the hue of your skin
It is considered the first, the last, shall be the first, read the Roman’s scripture of their hidden sin
The truth does evolve when myths have brainwashed the mind
Does not the Golden Rule states, to do unto others, and be kind
It is always a beautiful characteristic to possess when you truly, love yourself first
My goodness, you begin to see, feel, cherish, all the universal grants for you, you understand the whys, and you come to realize without effort, the...
