I See You (1220)
Maybe because today has been one year
Since you’ve been gone,
I get more nostalgic around the season,
I still mourn you in a way.
Sometimes I see you in strangers,
Or when I see men my age with their fathers
I think – that could’ve been us.
Or when I see an old man in the street,
In dire straits
I think – at one time that was you.
Maybe it’s because around this time of year,
I look back and appreciate you more,
All the troubles and tribulations you went through,
All the plights I’ll never know.
But I see...

Windy Day in December
It was late in fall,
The leaves were gone,
The morning was windy,
But I had a call,
I couldn’t pass on
This very opportunity.
And there we were,
Curious and scared,
But the flesh was on fire,
My word had stirred,
I was prepared,
To give in to this desire.
No more fantasies,
But in reality,
My instincts just took over,
I felt at ease,
Yet in actuality,
I should’ve been more sober.
I’d like to forget,
Still I reminisce,
It’s hard not to remember,
Obsession set,
And...

In Fire and Flame
He can’t sleep,
He can’t eat,
He can’t think straight as the world seems turned upside down,
His every waking thought is about her,
He’s perpetually bound to that dream cloud
...and it burns…
Beyond the core deep in his soul with an aching fever that feels like it lasts forever,
Lost in the endeavor,
He thinks that if he
wishes,
hopes,
or prays with all his strength that the universe will bring her to him,
Obsession.
All his will is bent toward her,
All his attention is focused on her,
All his...

Cloudburst*
There’s a cloud of words that stirs me,
Restless and reckless,
Like ten thousand voices all at once,
But with one breath it can change the range,
In immortal bliss,
As my heart spills out everything it wants.
It feels incredible and pivotal,
When the first notions are worth recording,
Then I place a light rhyme in its right time,
A feeling that is truly rewarding.
I have a love for words that get me stirred,
A natural fire mad with desire and thirst,
With each verse I lift the curse and dismay,
When my poetry...

Composition
She’s like a symphony of words, of chorus and chords,
Coursing, dripping with emotion and lust sweet to the ear,
Rich in texture with a sheer delectable kinetic resonance,
My mind goes blind with decadence and joyous cheer.
You might say it’s copacetic to hear her spoken expressions,
Her lilts, her inflections, her delivery can be completely magnetic,
Almost prophetic and wholly aesthetically pleasing to the seer,
The way it appears to slip from her lips it’s really quite poetic.
It’s almost like that elusive dream with an obtrusive...

Limping Isn't Easy
Limping isn’t easy, I stub my small cursed toe almost weekly,
It hurts so much that I’ll whine as if I’m a little wimp,
It’s so bad it’s hard to breathe because then I get all wheezy,
Which is why the next day I stroll with a casual limp.
When yours truly walks into any room folks say “he’s very cheesy”
Especially because of the way I’ve tried to preen and primp,
But once people see my stride they claim it’s slightly sleazy,
Hobbling awkwardly makes me look like some playful chimp.
No matter how much I try to make it look cool...

S.O.S.
After the storm,
I was lost in the oblivion of an ocean,
It’s been 208 days
Since the Oleander sank into the sea,
For weeks in a small life raft
I floated for days on end,
Scared and lonely.
Armed with just one oar I fought for my life,
I fought sharks, even an orca,
As the sun blistered my olive skin,
I could feel myself beginning to ossify,
Constantly under peril,
I thought about all my sins.
Did the Lord oust me from civilization?
Omnipresent even at high sea,
When one day...

All or None
In love and war nothing is ever the same, it’s either all or none *
I may carry a rifle
But she

Mother Eternal
Life springs…
Through the trees and the leaves
Presenting beautiful kindred spirits for all to see
Thus embarking into a new world
Crafted by delicate hands
Mother Eternal cradles a child
Amid the layers of time
With a softness only nature can illustrate
Nurturing
Caring
Loving
