renewal in leather and lace
Gone, are the nights
where folly
of a past life
trickle in
to wreak havoc
no more self
censoring
hiding away
from my own life
Renewal,
is
fresh air
beckoning
across alabaster,
mint and lavender
commingling with waves
of night jasmine
and
dire anticipation of
perfectly worn in leather
Desires of dreamt servitude,
[inflamed by years
of sequestration]
roar to life— mighty

Abstraction Never Let Me Down
Can never rest on your laurels
My first large abstract
Many years ago
Out of retirement
Acrylic on Canvas
Originally titled "Winter Vacation"
Now back
Enhanced with X44C Technology
Into your psyche
I present thee

My simple abode
Oh, how I like the night
My piercing longing,
In the light of those distant stars
I love her simple peace ...
And the silence that spread
Among the brooding shadows -
She crept today
With her invisible step ...
So eternally beautiful
In the night flickering of lights,
Where darkness plays
In my simple abode ..
My piercing longing,
In the light of those distant stars
I love her simple peace ...
And the silence that spread
Among the brooding shadows -
She crept today
With her invisible step ...
So eternally beautiful
In the night flickering of lights,
Where darkness plays
In my simple abode ..

Swirl
A clear day,
Beautiful sky,
Except for the smog
In his mind.
A huge blurr
Of constant indecisions
Ruling his life,
Ruining his life,
Cutting him apart
As many very precise
Surgical incisions.
Beautiful sky,

2001: A Verse Oddity
I can still remember it like it was yesterday
Thirty-one years ago I started on this odd odyssey
Two thousand one poems later I feel I’m far away
Vying as if trying to fulfill some prophecy
Some years I wasn’t active or very appealing
But I would try and write with candor and honesty
Sometimes my pen wasn’t effective or revealing
Just as long as my poems were striving for modesty
In Wally’s chronology I found a certain commodity
Jumping in and out rhymes at times off of a prosody
Then there were some verses that felt like...

a photographic memory
And
that
was
it.
With the pop and flash of the bulb
the visage in the picture was the only thing left of her.
Somewhere betwixt jockeying
for position with her two closest friends
and the snap of the camera shutter,
she was lost forever.
Her smile- fixed and rigid.
Her eyes glazed over and blank.
A shell remained;
she functioned
yet,
where SHE actually went
no one ever figured out.
Dreams and plans,
vanquished with the vaporizing smoke of the flash. ...

day tripper
my soul arcs then flairs
something is on the winds
I can feel it
gentle stirrings tell me to be calm
I whisper prayers to the silent void
it echos back
thoughts come to mind
I turn them over slowly
tentatively thinking about each one
some stick inside me
I ask the universe to forgive me
eternity smiles within
I am a child of the stars
held true to myself
a reflection to behold
a misfit day tripping through time
to arrive at my destinations on time
a revelation of faith
to...

SHOWER FANTASY
The sun dawns on a perfect day -
when my flat neighbours are away.
No need to draw the shower screen -
none here who might call me obscene,
when only viewer will be God,
who created the human bod.
I can leave the window open
on my bathroom as I wetten
my upright, naked, whole body,
feeling the cool breeze touching me
same time as hot water pours down
on my head haired greying brown,
my shoulders, torso, legs and butt,
as eyes take in the floral glut
in which my garden's coming out,
creation's...
when my flat neighbours are away.

My Other Egos
My Other Egos
I have one too many personalities,
I don't know which one is really me,
So if I'm nice at first, and then I'm mean,
You just met Samantha, and then met Steve.
Yes, it's strange, but don't be alarmed,
Steve and Samantha cause no harm,
Neither does Susana, or Sherri, or Sam,
But Dan and Dean and Duke sure do.
Be cautious around us,
The villains I have named,
You won't know who's who,
We all look the same.
Half of us would hug you,
And falsely reminisce,
But half of us will kill...

mere distinction
thru notes of distinction
diversion dots the silent eye
distracted
in papal set
where deepness holds
her self regret
lingered, lost
within imperfect past
how can one live
how can one last
mental inequity
meanders
about the steam
of tepid tea
and thoughts of intrepidity
to live
to last
to stand alone
mirrored amid the truth
trusting
not only darkness will be called home
but more than a tunnel
will be holding on
to lasting light
diversion dots the silent eye
distracted
in papal set
where deepness holds
her self regret
lingered, lost
within imperfect past
how can one live
how can one last
mental inequity
meanders
about the steam
of tepid tea
and thoughts of intrepidity
to live
to last
to stand alone
mirrored amid the truth
trusting
not only darkness will be called home
but more than a tunnel
