You must know
You must know there are times
I will not choose you over the poem;
nor your email, text or pouting silence
over the verse;
Bulging zippers will not sway me
nor swollen suitcases by the entrance.
If you want to be first in someone’s life
you must know, it can never be mine.
I'll never be the faithful wife
skinning vegetables at the sink;
a gimlet eye’d grandmother supervising,
starched apron and recipe splayed
submissively across the counter -
contents spooned carefully;
the roast, flayed,...

Like Shakespeare Said
we are we are we are we are
breathing in close to a star
we sleep we wake we're in between
while awake we're in a dream
you're in me and I'm in you
thoughts and feelings, visions too
the sky, the sea, the Earth below
like Shakespeare said we're in a show
we come, we go, we hang around
we're transformed by sight and sound
who we were just slips away
becoming new right here today
the Sun comes up, the Earth spins 'round
first we're lost then we are found
the only thing that stays the same
the way we're changed when...
breathing in close to a star
we sleep we wake we're in between
while awake we're in a dream
you're in me and I'm in you
thoughts and feelings, visions too
the sky, the sea, the Earth below
like Shakespeare said we're in a show
we come, we go, we hang around
we're transformed by sight and sound
who we were just slips away
becoming new right here today
the Sun comes up, the Earth spins 'round
first we're lost then we are found
the only thing that stays the same
the way we're changed when...

To Explore Or Not To Explore
To explore or not to explore: that is the question.
Whether 'tis easier for the mind to remain ignorant
And accept the cold embraces of outrageous beliefs,
Or is it wiser to take arms against a sea of blockades,
And by opposing, destroy them? To understand, to forget
No more, and by a discovery to say we cured
The blindness and the thousand natural shocks
That comes with acknowledgement of the truth. 'Tis an outcome
Desired to be wished. To learn, to dismiss-
To dismiss, the worst of sins: ay, there's the rub,
For in that dismissal of the...

A Soft Kiss Upon Shakespeare’s Lips
My Bohemian Wild Orchid
Oh, my love you are going to set chasten hearts on fire
If what you softly serenade to corridor of my mind, is from the ambience of your timeless desires
Will those poems festering in your heart tell the world how we danced in the moonlight
The illumination, setting the seductive mood, coveting our glorious minds in plight
Blindly we drift
In the shadows of life, connection of hearts goes weary finding ways to uplift
What was done in the lust of darkness shall regress
Lust, passion, desire, rapture fate...
Oh, my love you are going to set chasten hearts on fire
If what you softly serenade to corridor of my mind, is from the ambience of your timeless desires
Will those poems festering in your heart tell the world how we danced in the moonlight
The illumination, setting the seductive mood, coveting our glorious minds in plight
Blindly we drift
In the shadows of life, connection of hearts goes weary finding ways to uplift
What was done in the lust of darkness shall regress
Lust, passion, desire, rapture fate...
