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

THE VISITOR
i]A Repost[i]
Business is slow
Don and I sit around the sales desk
the silence only punctuated
by the muted whirring of ceiling fans
and our profound conversation on life
We hear the backdoor to the warehouse open
then slam shut
footsteps clad in dress-shoes
resonate striking the concrete floor
only the store owner, Stan, would enter through the back door
without first knocking or ringing the bell
We watch curiously the showroom doors
I rise and pretend to be busy dusting light fixtures
eyes rolling, Don grins at my...

SHAMEMAN
Wherever there is shame
or remorse to be felt
I’ll be there!
Whenever something
wrong has been done
point the finger here!
My back is strong
I can take the weight
I’ve a fullproof defense
pretending I don’t care
I am the conscience clearer
assuager of guilt
feeding on trouble
mainlining blame
self appointed
24/7 whipping boy
I’M SHAMEMAN!!
or remorse to be felt
I’ll be there!
Whenever something
wrong has been done
point the finger here!
My back is strong
I can take the weight
I’ve a fullproof defense
pretending I don’t care
I am the conscience clearer
assuager of guilt
feeding on trouble
mainlining blame
self appointed
24/7 whipping boy
I’M SHAMEMAN!!

THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER
Outside a storm rages
hurricane winds
blow relentlessly
trying, in vain, to topple
the phallic sentinel
giant waves
lick the painted walls
coating its length
in salty foam
Inside the tower
the keeper,
with surprising agility
for his age,
clambers up
the tall spiral staircase
to inspect the light
which he finds
to be in working order
the Fresnel refracted
beam, like gleaming swords,
penetrate deep
into the blackness
Now descending,
from out in...

TO BE A MUSE
The falling raindrop
knows not the purpose
of its plummet to earth
the lives that it saves
its role in new growth
by the force and order
of nature it is guided
Likewise the muse
knows not why
she is chosen
the artist to inspire
reasons much deeper
than beauty
or sensual appeal
a mystic connection
generated in the cosmos
is the source
of her election
knows not the purpose
of its plummet to earth
the lives that it saves
its role in new growth
by the force and order
of nature it is guided
Likewise the muse
knows not why
she is chosen
the artist to inspire
reasons much deeper
than beauty
or sensual appeal
a mystic connection
generated in the cosmos
is the source
of her election

NOSE TO NOSE
On a cold Winter’s eve
collapsing into my
outstretched arms
loving smiles greet
anxious eyes meet
cold tip pressing
against cold tip
like two sticks
together rubbed
create the friction
that starts a blazing fire
igniting sensuous desire
before our lips
seal our passion
our noses collide
in a loving Eskimo kiss
collapsing into my
outstretched arms
loving smiles greet
anxious eyes meet
cold tip pressing
against cold tip
like two sticks
together rubbed
create the friction
that starts a blazing fire
igniting sensuous desire
before our lips
seal our passion
our noses collide
in a loving Eskimo kiss

YOUR GIFTS
I can feel your warm smile
like the rays of the sun
shining on my face
warming every chamber
of my heart
I bring to you
my fears, shame and guilt
you listen
then lovingly
impart wise counsel
I am stronger
more self-assured
because you
took the time to listen
I am accepted
and relieved
safe in the bosom
of your compassion
listening to our hearts
beat in harmony
keeping time
with the rhythm
of our words
our lives
Not knowing
from great distance
you have hugged me
both naked...

I'LL NEVER
I’ll never be
considered dangerous
though I sail on dangerous seas
I’ll never strike
fear in another
for intimidation
I am not wired
I’ll never make
a good liar
with a transparent
countenance of guilt
am I cursed
or blessed
I’ll never deny
a soul it’s freedom
we were born to soar
else why give us wings
and a limitless sky?
I’ll never choose
violence to express
my frustration, anger
I am no pacifist
possessed I am
with a fierce
desire for justice
yet I am neither an...
