POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction Writing poetry is the catalyst in my quest for authenticity and the conduit through which I express my deepest thoughts and emotions.

Notes From The Home Office
Finally a corner office
to be honest, a laundry room as well
three windows opened wide
one facing South, two West
lit scented candle, “Sea Spray” gutters in a westerly one
blown by cool Spring breeze
traversing tween adjacent windows
sating longing to feel what agitates the leaves
what makes the wind chimes sing
evoking Taoist spiritual serenity
happy memories of grandma’s garden
Butterflies erratically flutter through the backyard
Monarchs they seem
perhaps that Monarch impostor
the similarly royal...

Women
Why are women so fascinating?
my model stolen at a young age
just after my supposed Freudian crush
a gaping void, a mystery remains
perhaps explains a penchant for detective stories
when mother died the “game was a foot”
A replacement soon appeared
a commandant rather than mater
gone were big, compassionate hugs
no more drying tears on apron or cascading skirt
left with only birthday and Christmas kisses
made to feel like that other woman’s child
seemingly made for daily vacuuming shag carpeting
mowing lawns,...

Body Surfer
Bright, hot Santa Cruz beach afternoon
shiver as ocean with bare skin collides
GASP! my stones will be icecubes soon
a quick breaststroke finds best waves to ride
Approach the swell, drop over the crest
in freestyle glide across crystalline face
knowing when to stop, that's the real test
the wave will never ever cede the race
shiver as ocean with bare skin collides
GASP! my stones will be icecubes soon
a quick breaststroke finds best waves to ride
Approach the swell, drop over the crest
in freestyle glide across crystalline face
knowing when to stop, that's the real test
the wave will never ever cede the race

Coming to Sense
Yearning ever stronger
reality much too real
something to last longer
than a fleeting cyber-thrill
Things at risk, much too great
rewards too uncertain
passions wane, evaporate
why continue flirting?

Overheard At The Polls
Someone with integrity
who does EVERY being respect
deems important honesty
does bridges and not walls erect
Not positively a Luddite
just perhaps not acquainted with Twitter
seeks to inspire not hate incite
no lunatic posts typed on the shitter
Person not prone to misogyny
an advocate for the environment
one with brain-possessed progeny
not dimwitted peddlers of excrement
A compassionate soul and altruistic
not some egomaniacal fool
wise, well spoken, toward the world diplomatic
not a bully...

Duet D'Amour
Placed deep in your soil
pure essence of my being
mid-Winter planting
Heal my wounded heart
kind, terrestrial angel
embrace love unfeigned
pure essence of my being
mid-Winter planting
Heal my wounded heart
kind, terrestrial angel
embrace love unfeigned

Triptych - Merchant Of My Heart And Soul
On gargoyle beak perched
dances, sings, the people wakes
hark! These Are the Days
To every female
sings, dear sisters hear, believe
Wonder-beings all
Stay, serene circus
show-folk smile, sing, disperse joy
Kind and Generous

Avataria
Why not show my genuine human face?
Do I fear exposure or, much worse, emasculation?
That one perhaps a name to visage place?
No, it’s so appearance won’t impede imagination

Downtown Diptych
From Eleventh floor
traverse the obscure urban valley 'tween towers
linger awhile in the shady rooftop Eden
then up, up into the gray, white, and blue afternoon sky
Twenty five panes over, three panes down
fluffy white clouds, blue peeking through
portrait of sky on mirrored canvas
three story easel
