The Great Tornado Dive
There we were, enjoying a great family summer day
Kids laughing, splashing, and jumping into the pool
And while swimming back and forth I had an idea
I thought I’d show my kids how I can still be cool
So in my mind I pictured this great Olympic super dive
Starting with tornado twirl like skaters perform on ice
I got out of the pool and called everyone’s attention
What I imagined was going to look epic and really nice
But in reality and what the video proof showed was…
A forty-year-old man doing a slow princess twirl
Arms out like...

NEVER STOP DREAMING
Never stop dreaming
Even when the days seem so cold
Vie and try like you are competing
Energize yourself to reach that goal
Rest when needed to keep control
Stop doubting yourself
Too much negativity may slow you down
Overcome uncertainty and hopelessness
Push forward and you’ll gain some ground
Dive into your objective with all your heart
Risk something to receive that reward
Engage in that positive state of mind
And things will come to you in accord
Most importantly always stay optimistic
In...

Fleeting Breaths
Craving to kiss again
Softly
Gently
Amidst a collection of synchronized fleeting breaths
And slow blissful torturous caresses
Bodies pressed ever so close
A passion profoundly burns
And there
In the depths
The bond of two souls goes beyond any abyss
Further than the void of space
Without words
A love that has no boundaries
Craving to kiss again
Softly
Gently
Amidst a collection of synchronized fleeting breaths
Softly

Amidst a collection of synchronized fleeting breaths
And slow blissful torturous caresses
Bodies pressed ever so close
A passion profoundly burns
And there

Further than the void of space
Without words
A love that has no boundaries
Craving to kiss again
Softly
Gently
Amidst a collection of synchronized fleeting breaths

Down the Rabbit Hole
Oh no! she fell down another rabbit hole
That gentle old soul
But this time a malice has taken control
It’s like watching a bad acid trip but with arsenic
Like arson and shit
Or arse on a stick
And the arsenal of poison has taken it’s toll
She fell into void of false fairytales and slurs
Illusions of grandeur
Sure that it’s pure
Conjured in the mind of some saboteur
Now it spreads like wildfire
And as other souls spiral down the chambers
Of...

Extraction
The rot has got to go,
Yet the truth is I’m attached to the tooth,
But the pain is too much to bear,
I swear, I kind of don’t want to let go.
I know there is a smell,
My swollen gums tell me so,
But the molar is already half broken off,
It’s just a sharp little sliver.
The doctor recommended the extraction,
For the tooth cannot be saved,
So I grieve there quietly,
Or else the infection may spread.
I’m a sentimental,
But I agree to part with it,
At the end of all the dental work,
The extraction will be the last. ...

Insert Vital Poem Title *Here*
I keep buying these memory pills
But then every morning I forget to take them
Instead I have these little accidental spills
When I spit ill rhymed lines like phlegm
Yuck
And sometimes I don’t like the way it flows
I get away from rhythm and syllable count
I feel it growing, rising, then thar she blows!
Prematurely, it’s a problem I can’t surmount
Where was I?
Oh yeah, remembering to take these meds
Well, they’re more like every day supplements
I keep devising but then I lose my threads
Hence...

The Woman in Fendi and the Young Salesman
She was known around town as the snooty divorcee
In the settlement she took most of her ex-husband’s money
But then she got accustomed to living in such a way
She thought of herself as queen since she had all that honey
Hermes, Gucci, Prada, you name it, she had it all
From Oscar, Marc, Ralph, Versace to Armani and Dior
Decked in diamonds and red bottoms made her look tall
And yet the woman in Fendi was shaped like a door
She went into car dealership looking for something nice
A convertible preferably to show off her wealth...

A Haiku on a Dirty Car Window
Feeling neglected
The car begs each passerby
"Someone please wash me"
The car begs each passerby
"Someone please wash me"

Time and the Weight of Memories
Another year gone!
Time is flying by fast!
It seems to be going by faster!
But why?
I often find myself asking this question
I know I’m not the only one
Every single year
“Time is of the essence”
Deadlines, timelines, busy agendas
Inner circadian rhythms work tirelessly
Keeping pace with the clock
Day in
Day out
And getting older
It seems to accelerate
The weight of memories gets heavier
Becoming more dense
The recollection of a first kiss
First love
Tears shed
Laughter ...

To The Great Poem I May One Day Compose
To the great poem I may one day compose
I know you’re lingering around somewhere close
You won’t reveal yourself until the time is right
So I keep you in mind expecting your light
And once your inspiration comes to my heart
I will craft you like the most reverent piece of art
Weaving words and expressions that say it all
When a lifetime of memories begs the call
But if the words don’t come to me just like I said…
I will recite them in free verse from my deathbed instead
I know you’re lingering around somewhere close
You won’t reveal yourself until the time is right
So I keep you in mind expecting your light
And once your inspiration comes to my heart
I will craft you like the most reverent piece of art

When a lifetime of memories begs the call
But if the words don’t come to me just like I said…
I will recite them in free verse from my deathbed instead

The Resonance of Tears
Today the rain has been nonstop
The skies have been cloudy and gray
My heart beats with each raindrop
While my mild thoughts go astray
I relish in the sound of the storm
It’s a distant echo from the past
And though my skin is warm
A shiver comes to me very fast
Oh dear memory, why do you insist
In remembering certain drizzly days?
The resonance of tears in the mist
When pouring rain washed my face
Each droplet decorating my window
Is a reminder of the person I once knew
My old self wasted time is now lost...
The skies have been cloudy and gray
My heart beats with each raindrop
While my mild thoughts go astray
I relish in the sound of the storm
It’s a distant echo from the past
And though my skin is warm
A shiver comes to me very fast
Oh dear memory, why do you insist
In remembering certain drizzly days?
The resonance of tears in the mist
When pouring rain washed my face
Each droplet decorating my window
Is a reminder of the person I once knew
My old self wasted time is now lost...
