You
I have known you for a year
Yet it feels like dream
Wake me up, help me please
I don’t want to corrupt you
Like any other human being
It was nice, Your nice
Every time I talk to you
I remember all the times I cared for you
Your smile that is precious to say the least
Became my daily baking yeast
Even while we are in quarantine
Texting you is part of my routine
your nose that is facing me
have seen the worst of me
the fact that you are still with me
makes me question your sanity ...

Poetess
Some people
You just can’t get off your mind
I always come back
Because I miss you
When I’m gone
It’s like the death of poetry inside me
I return
Because of the feeling of emptiness
That can only be
Revived
Resuscitated
Necessitated
By You
My love
Never fades
I only punish myself
With periods of denial
Because I know
I don’t deserve you
I miss you
My Muse
My Love
My Poetess
You just can’t get off your mind
I always come back
Because I miss you
When I’m gone
It’s like the death of poetry inside me
I return
Because of the feeling of emptiness
That can only be
Revived
Resuscitated
Necessitated
By You
My love
Never fades
I only punish myself
With periods of denial
Because I know
I don’t deserve you
I miss you
My Muse
My Love
My Poetess

Pop Star Poets
I wanna be a pop star poet like the best of 'em
Together, in a league of our own.
I want the adulation
Not to mention...
The praise and the attention.
Yes, I could take it all day long
Most definitely!
The World is full of pop star poets
Wanting recognition, fame and fortune -
Whatever comes their way!
Pop star poets, hungry for success
For minimum effort it seems.
Do these folk really exist?
They survive only in the mind of the reader/writer
In the way the critiquer perceives them.
One day however, these...

To say it...
Like those great bards of old...
Shakespeare, Naruda, Wordsworth ,
Tennyson, Dickinson to name a few
To find those words, turn a phrase
as thought spills its will...write true
In a haze, muddlin’ through
the throng... til clarity seeps, n’
eyes weep, “those voices” long gone
One is left with a simple lil’ ditty
appropriate, as it fits where it belong...
“Her soul’s sweetness,
sits in the mind’s palette
to...Infinity, n’ Beyond!”

Elegy For David Macleod
Alright brother,
irreverent zephyr,
let’s do this,
raw and unpolished,
let’s do it up,
good and proper.
Noon high sunlight,
heedless of bronze epaulette,
rounding tender,
brown shoulder,
held by hand,
laced and strong,
blue white neons crowing,
from evening saturnalias,
of cities,
warrior,
your shadow stood,
in kind sentinel,
passing over,
rough faces,
illumined,
electric glow,
mists dreaming tendrils curl, ...

Friendly Encounters (repost)
I prepared an outing
by the tree
at a park called liberty.
I was alone
as far as eyes could see,
away from my captivity.
Out of the light
you appeared,
walking towards the tree.
What a mesmerizing sight to see !
Behind you was a distant galaxy
where you left your spaceship
in mystery.
We then shared a cup of lemon tea,
indulging in this new luxury.
The wind was full of vibrancy
as was the crow
and bumble...

Physical language is very difficult.
Hard to maintain
The idea of change. That's right
Me, teach me? Bad movie,

PLEASE SHOW ME THE REAL YOU
REALITY
"Please tell me all
about you," I asked
a lady I'd just met.
She replied, "Do
you want the truth
about the real me or
the sales version?"
REAL!
What, in our deceptive
world of make-believe,
is REAL? Who knows anymore?
From the phony ripoff brands,
to the play-actors on
dating sites...the real
world of real people has
been lost in the pretend
and make-believe world
of "glitz and glitter" of
"It's from a jar.
People lie about their
qualification, skills, and ...

WAITING FOR YOU!
THE ONE
It's almost time!
I have reserved
our favorite table;
the dozen red roses
were handpicked
just for amazing YOU,
my beautiful Princess.
Our favorite vintage wine
will be on ice.
ALL DAY
I have been excited
about being with you,
my wonderful youthful lover.
The spirit of expectancy
has warmed my face and
triggered the UP alarm;
my pulse is trying to outrun
my heartbeat.
I am going to be with my
DREAM;
we're going to fly away on wings
of lust and desire to the ...

I see the force of neon
Actions impact my storm
Of emotions driving the
Lightning through the sea of
Words left unspoken by the
Mouth of the unpredictable
River
I watch the waters crystalize
Under the future consequences
Dimished by the mixed paint
Exposing a beautiful light that
Shines through misunderstood
Situations melting them into
A pool of acid that turns into
A colorful smoke that rises
And vanishishes without a trace

BEAUTIFUL TEARS
THINK
When I was a boy
the well-known
command for boys
was:
"Big boys don't cry."
For some unknown reason
back then it was the
lot of women and girls
to cry. Not "big boys."
Oh, it was permitted with
limitation when a pet died
or a popular relative passed away.
I once did a research paper on
the "Healing Value of Tears."
Boy was my eyes and tear ducts
opened. Research had proven
the healing and emotional
value of tears. The disease
possibilities from not shedding
tears were overwhelming....

SHALL I TRUST THE VOICE OF CRITICS?
WONDER
I have since grammar school,
specifically in high school,
and dogmatically in university,
wondered why the voices and pens
of critics were so powerful.
How many futures, talents,
and dreams have perished
because of some so-called
critics comment.
Yes, there is a valid place
for critique and criticism
in certain fields, e.g. medicine
and other sciences where proven
and tested lab standards
are the guides for remarks.
Most critics are more opinionated
than demonstrated by their own
creations...
