Today I Watched A Movie
My mind runs...wild
in a virtual world
An enactment
of man's behavior unfolds
with rigorous portrayal
of sacred emotions
...all summoned at will!
Fascinating!
I declare myself the watching eye
(For. Thirty. Long. Minutes)

Rome Antics
she beckoned me forth like a
gladiator
trained for speed, not power
her calculating eyes timed my feet
for its overdue fall
dagger at the ready
anticipating my fall
I took her bait
(not)
I threw away my shield
and shuffled aside
It was never
that serious a game
for me it wasn't.

Smooth As Syrup
..
Tell me you don't want me
So I'll leave and never bother you again
...
I've grown tired of your games.

So I'll leave and never bother you again

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

This is
This is a curse on the heartbreakers
that left us stranded in the island of
Hope-and-Love, paddling away,
unnoticed, in the dead of night, on
the only boat we sailed to the
mystery-filled lands
This is an apology to the hearts we
besmirched in our self deluded attempt at
missing a similar fate by fading
gradually away like the sun when it
sets beyond the horizon lines
This is a thank-you note to Time, for
the penniless healing it affords, and
the scholarly teachings it imprints--
never once failing...

The Orb
Gently painted on the evening sky
By a Hand, infinitely Divine.
The orange orb rests assuredly--
And of its supports to be seen, no vine.
Its reddish-yellow mixes sublimely with sky-blue--
Now it flickers clean-white, now golden-black--
A truly-- deeply fascinating view;
An arrow drawn to never miss its mark
I think it scrapes the epitome of beauty
Since it encompasses a beholder's eye
With a tolerable show of bubbling fury--
The sun-- setting behind the evening sky
In it I see-- a requiem for brighter days,
a regret written...

can you be patient?
Before the thoughts flood in to cloud
your judgment, ushering in rain,
clapping thunder--
Before you are dripping wet--
clothes, and all-- jumping at every
flash and roar of frowning heaven--
Before you give into madness--
reading pessimistic meanings into every absent gesture--
Can you be a little bit more patient? Stand ground a little longer? And maybe--- out of the kindness of your heart--
find out why?
It could be that the heavens break loose to answer the cries of a thirsty earth,
It could be that...
your judgment, ushering in rain,
clapping thunder--
Before you are dripping wet--
clothes, and all-- jumping at every
flash and roar of frowning heaven--
Before you give into madness--
reading pessimistic meanings into every absent gesture--
Can you be a little bit more patient? Stand ground a little longer? And maybe--- out of the kindness of your heart--

Guilt
I'm forever in rain
My weather don't change
It's always pain--
In a mean-streak range;
Pain for breakfast
Pain for brunch--
The rain is steadfast
So it's pain for lunch
I'm forever in rain
Come sunshine, come moonlight
It's always pain---
Somehow it all feels right
My weather don't change
It's always pain--
In a mean-streak range;
Pain for breakfast
Pain for brunch--
The rain is steadfast
So it's pain for lunch
I'm forever in rain
Come sunshine, come moonlight
It's always pain---
Somehow it all feels right

Ghost Words
If ever you see a sight that reminds
you of me,
either happily jesting or sadly
staring--
If you remember me in a most
sudden way; down a quiet road
walking or a decent conversation
holding ---
It is then you'd know the beginning
of all the words I never said
you of me,
either happily jesting or sadly
staring--
If you remember me in a most
sudden way; down a quiet road
walking or a decent conversation
holding ---
It is then you'd know the beginning
of all the words I never said

Am I your favorite writer ?
I demand simplicity in your answer,
no intricate web of deceit,
no grand den of lies.
But then you only said,
"Yes."
no intricate web of deceit,
no grand den of lies.
But then you only said,
"Yes."

Painless
As I sit to write,
a sharp pain pierces
my body.
My toe its source;
the longest elongation
from the right.
A spasm runs
through my veins,
clotting my blood;
tearing and replacing
what is,
on default, natural comfort,
with discomforting
burns.
I wonder now
how it ever was
that I appreciated not-
silence enough.
rarely do I give thanks
for the infinite
painless feeling
I choose to disavow.
I swallowed painkillers.
but the stubborn pain
still lives.
It breaths,
pumping...
a sharp pain pierces
my body.
My toe its source;
the longest elongation
from the right.
A spasm runs
through my veins,
clotting my blood;
tearing and replacing
what is,
on default, natural comfort,
with discomforting
burns.
I wonder now
how it ever was

silence enough.
rarely do I give thanks
for the infinite
painless feeling

To War with Indifference
I poured my heart out
Soaked to my soul with sincerity
Wasting words on deaf ears
Connected to a heart devoid of pity
With incredible fortune
I looked at my hands;
Armed I was with golden bravery.
Enough to conquer lands!
And my adversary was but a man.
Soaked to my soul with sincerity
Wasting words on deaf ears
Connected to a heart devoid of pity
With incredible fortune
I looked at my hands;
Armed I was with golden bravery.
Enough to conquer lands!
And my adversary was but a man.

Oceans and Mountains
Don't fall in love-
I have done that before.
Instead climb above
It. And save yourself the drama,
the gore.
If you think love is an ocean,
I suppose you are right.
But if ever an ocean could burn
It'll be when two lovers fight
And if you believe love is a mountain,
I reckon that's equality true.
To traverse such upsetting terrain
One has to be content,
At once, blue
Don't fall in the ocean.
Instead, climb the mountain
With commitment and devotion
And I...
I have done that before.
Instead climb above
It. And save yourself the drama,
the gore.
If you think love is an ocean,
I suppose you are right.
But if ever an ocean could burn
It'll be when two lovers fight
And if you believe love is a mountain,
I reckon that's equality true.
To traverse such upsetting terrain
One has to be content,
At once, blue
Don't fall in the ocean.
Instead, climb the mountain
With commitment and devotion
