A Simple Adjective
I fear you’ll see me vulnerable.
A sentiment for which I can not abide.
The very one you find most attractive.
Is the the very one I will NOT expose to you.
A life time spent mastering this most delicate weakness.
Demolished in the exhale of a sigh.
No! I won’t allow it.
Your pseudo pathos has long ago expired.
Alone I arrive.
Alone I wander.
Alone I depart.
It feels better that way.
Owing nothing at the end.
Preserved and salved by my own solemnity.
I will have maintained...
A sentiment for which I can not abide.
The very one you find most attractive.
Is the the very one I will NOT expose to you.
A life time spent mastering this most delicate weakness.
Demolished in the exhale of a sigh.
No! I won’t allow it.
Your pseudo pathos has long ago expired.
Alone I arrive.
Alone I wander.
Alone I depart.
It feels better that way.
Owing nothing at the end.
Preserved and salved by my own solemnity.

Pay the Price
Allow me to speak freely Ghost Rider
But I’m still sad you are gone
Thinking about your loss
About your lyrics and words
And how it reached us misfits and nerds
But we found comfort in the music
You were the greatest
Always pursuing the next level
and still improving
You were so well read
And articulate
Conveying the human experience
and emotion
As if you spoke directly to us
So many of us copied your style
Putting you at the top of every list
And yet, behind that shy smile
You were...
But I’m still sad you are gone
Thinking about your loss
About your lyrics and words
And how it reached us misfits and nerds
But we found comfort in the music
You were the greatest
Always pursuing the next level
and still improving
You were so well read
And articulate
Conveying the human experience
and emotion
As if you spoke directly to us

Putting you at the top of every list

[ NaPoWriMo 2021 Collection ] Satellite
Her ghost is still orbiting Earth. . ."
Defined: That which is
Of all removed, come and gone
she was destined
to remain alabaster tissue
tidally locked to Earth—
her Stygian, volcanic maria
perpetually waxing and waning
betwixt ancient-crustal mesa
and pockmarked impact craters
Slightly brighter than worn asphalt
contrasted by relatively dark space
her specter glissades
across black, obsidian ice
of an infinite cosmos—
an iron ball at the end of a chain ...

Beheaded
Curtsy to the Queen
Talons swoops, fear not of its smoke screen
Claims of divinity in times, yet the core of the soul rings untrue
Reposed, yet empathic unto scattered brain fools
Variations found within its mental slew
Glass dynasties shatter, stepping stones under my feet I reduce
Crowns of grandeur are bestowed
Not loaned, confiscated, of elevated along a dirt road
Hail to the Queen
Guillotined unto the supremacies of my swift validity
Remnant of once was, ashes to ashes, dust to dust of its austerity ...

The kind of day that fills out a life
There are days in life that are unthinkably awful
when you desperately want to hit rewind
go back to before whatever “thing” happened
and claw your way out of your own skin.
There are even a few that are blissful
with loved ones and seashores
days you want to live over again
with music soaring like meteors.
This wasn’t either of those.
It was entirely uneventful.
It was a day with work to be done;
creative, enjoyable, non-spectacular work
a day with songbirds on my morning walk
and dreary rain by afternoon
a day...
when you desperately want to hit rewind
go back to before whatever “thing” happened
and claw your way out of your own skin.
There are even a few that are blissful
with loved ones and seashores
days you want to live over again

This wasn’t either of those.
It was entirely uneventful.
It was a day with work to be done;

The final countdown Glo/NpoWriMo # 30
Wow I made it to the finish line
I started something and finished it,
I’m happy with most of my submissions
I’ve no problem admitting it.
And while some of my poems were
corny, many were deep & meaningful,
a few were goofy and silly
a bunch seemed barely readable lol
To everyone who took this journey with me
I applaud you all and wanted you to know
when we’re together as poets
our personal creativity grows
It’s been an amazing privilege
to be part of this journey...

Music Passion Ten
Bluegrass Roots and Country
Appalachian Summer Night
a front porch congregation
drinking moonshine get’n tight
on cigar box guitar someone strums
banjo lends its lively voice
effervescent fiddle joins
washtub bass and whiskey jug
In tandem mark the beat
washboard adds its joyful noise
singing songs of a sobering nature
of hard times been and coming
ever present death, old time religion
love’s conquest, evil’s defeat
t’was the place of Bluegrass birthing
where seed was planted and nurtured
I was to...

Terzanelle Nr.05 — The Job
This is the job of writers and saints
turn up at the desk obeying the call
and do so alone, without complaint
sit in a manner of wonder, that’s all
open your mind with a curious wait
turn up at the desk obeying the call
an angel is guarding your muse at the gate
so none of your foes will suffer to strike -
open your mind to a curious wait
with freedom to be … just do what you like
filling your heart with a permanent smile
so none of your foes will...
turn up at the desk obeying the call

The Walking Led
We can stride ahead to belong,
sever ties in weak made strong.
But how can we, in conscience go
before the things we truly know.
Only with our foresight clear
are any reasons not to fear;
yet hanging on in morbid dread,
of these outcomes we are fed
hatred of our own desires
under which we stoke a fire
full of pleadings to be felt.
In our dealings we get dealt.
When and how will all this end,
where did go ourselves as friends
to each other, to this earth,
our full sentience and our mirth.
I can't find nor...
sever ties in weak made strong.
But how can we, in conscience go
before the things we truly know.
Only with our foresight clear
are any reasons not to fear;
yet hanging on in morbid dread,
of these outcomes we are fed
hatred of our own desires
under which we stoke a fire
full of pleadings to be felt.
In our dealings we get dealt.
When and how will all this end,
where did go ourselves as friends
to each other, to this earth,
our full sentience and our mirth.
I can't find nor...
