the walker
The Walker
Sometimes, there is a sense that the road doesn't
roll out further, there is no vista of a highland or a slow-running river of sweet water to lazily swim
while remembering Marilyn in Lazaro's jewelry shop, a dream so vivid, not dim, as the years roll by.
It is time to take the boots out of the cupboard try them on, and feel how they make your feet walk
Travel light, a rucksack will do, and a solid walking stick to fend off dogs.
The upland has no rain, although it might shower
on the way there; at night, you can seek shelter
in an...

failed poet
Failed poet
It is worrying when your mind is electrocuted by overthinking when you know for sure the system
is out to get you
The man sat naked on his roof as was his want none can deny this common right.
They tried to get him down from there, but he insisted they must hear his earth-shattering poems
of the sort that make grown men weep, go home
make love to their wives, and start a sheep farm in the utter Hebrides.
They got him down from the roof by telling him a hall was ready for him to speak, his dog didn't believe this and bit a nurse's ankle. ...

the ember of love
The Ember of Love
As he was walking along the busy shopping street an old woman, came toward him
He knew her but hadn't seen her for many years
once upon a time, he had loved her very much
they both stopped; she remembered him and forthright, as she always was, told him he looked old
She was old also but refrained from telling her
Their hair was white and brittle, and her prominent nose had dropped, giving her a look like a witch.
They hugged, and he told her she looked great!
Behind the thick-rimmed glasses she wore, he saw
a glimmer of...

just like that
over and over
i pled
i clawed and clawed
and i bled
until bloodied fingertips
were dripping with shame
i screamed and screamed
until choking on blame
i screamed
until screams
no longer came—
the phone rang,
from

a voice
tried to explain
and just like that

Failing at empathy
The injustice
visited upon you
And the magnitude
of your pain
Renders mine irrelevant--
self-indulgent, even.
(Then why does it still hurt?)

Wow....(and I Wonder)
.....what is the blunder that I have committed? What was the crime?
What was a simple intention, not to mention that I think the poet is sublime. She blocks my intention and now my rhyme is out of time.
That really kind of hurts. It really kind of stings. You have a right to do what you will. In retrospect, I ask only one thing.
Can you please find it in your heart to tell me what I did wrong? I meant no disrespect to you. Please don't let this be some sort of "Swan Song" and our acquaintance long gone
Having no idea for what has...

reminders of her
she reminds me of the moon
and she reminds me of the sun
i see her in poetry
as well as in piano music
and wherever i am
my eyes search for hers
then i think about where these thoughts come from
why i feel that way
what parts of her lure me in
there’s nothing but reflections
nothing and everything
what really lures me in is how she sees the world
how she lights up and makes me smile
i see her in all the things that make my heart beat
in everything that displays depth,...

Young man looks like your actions speak louder than words
So can you do what you say

Rendexvous
He has a big date tonight, a reunion actually. One that is way overdue. He’s known he needed to reconcile, but he’s just been cowardly, if he’s going to be honest with himself. But he simply has to see her one more time no matter what; he’s always known that and now the solution is suddenly so clear.
There have been plenty of opportunities but he’s been scattered. His mind has been so foggy. So many good memories buried under the smudge of a cascade of mistakes. Countless nights spent looking for the bottom of a bottle. He’s not even sure how long it’s been. It’s all too...

I'll be Blue and You'll be Red
I'm cursed and blessed to always love you
Broken or whole or anything between
Our emotions are tie dye explosions
Swirls of toxic gases and sweet perfumes
Softness and sharp; pain and pleasure
Antidote and poison; so many sets of twos
My life lost color when you weren't there
Reds of you, blues of me and purples of us
Our story stains my mind and rips at reality
And I broke my heart so desperately
Trying to fit someone in that space you belong
I want you to be that constant presence
The past and the present blur at your...

A Letter
A Letter”
It is no way for you to live
Knowing the only one who can forgive
You beyond the Gates of someone else’s Heaven
Doesn’t know you want to be forgiven.
They mean a lot to you, do they not?
The things that everyone else forgot…
Wouldn’t you like to die, and drive them out
Of your mind—its all you think about
And you fear your final thought
Will be the sins everyone else forgot.
But, William, no-one is blaming you, except for you.
No-one is blaming you for what you chose to do.
No-one blames you, except the voice in...

You
You”
You…you always were one of the brave.
How…how does it feel to walk on my grave?
Such a narrow passage there that you tread
With the light streaming just up ahead…
How can I hide from my own disguise,
When you cannot see it in my eyes?
How I hunted you when I was lonely
Is written in my face, and the only
Shadow that walks behind us
Is the ghost of what life was.
And as scared I was back then
I think I would live that life again.
You did not know the way I hurt you,
But you forgave me for what I can’t...
