Standing Tall
the tall Sequoias stand
circled in ancient groves
branches reaching for the skies
regal and majestic in its stature
standing on the land for centuries
so much wisdom garnered within
should they be able to impart
what rich knowledge that'd be
nature's pride enduring and grand
giving forth such fresh air
silent witness to cycles of life
where leaves embrace the roots

Your pain
Give me your pain
that I might understand it
that I may take it away from you
that your pain might be mine
that we can share and suffer together.
Men can never understand that
this makes a woman and
for some separates the sexes
so that a clear divide creates a
barrier and for those women they
celebrate this difference as a right
and a blessing.
Many call it the curse as pain has
been related to punishment for
sin by some religions but if this
term relates to religious
punishment why is this not felt ...

The Resilience of a Poet
The resilience of a poet comes from the heart
From the deepest part of the human soul
And yet there is a strength from this poetess
It’s something that can’t be expressed in words
But there is a profound sense of understanding
Something that takes time and tide and time again
It goes beyond the realm of our comprehension
Something this poetess sees and feels and tells
With every breath poetry pours with calmness
Illuminating like a beacon beckoning a smile
Reckoning the intricate webs and nuances of life
In admiration of stars...

You know I think about women
This is not sexual, although my sexual preference is women
I just think on them a lot, not obsessing, but a lot
Not in ways to get them into bed or ensuring what I got
I think of other things like the way that they smell
The way that her voice rose and the way that it fell
The beauty of their hair cut short or draped down their back
Balding from an illness or treatment, yeah boo I like it like that
Without cause or need she willingly accepts responsibility
Eternally assigned to prove herself and her...

Diagnosis
For Elisha
I.
I am sure you felt its shadow
locomotive smoke growing thicker
that plumule bomb
of hazardous waste
pulverizing the landscape
of your lungs
There are so many cliches
for a time like this. . .
‘Take care of you’
‘It will be alright’
‘I’m so sorry’
‘I’m here if you need me’
'What can I do'
But the truth is
it hurts to concentrate
on a war game
of chemotherapy
and radiation roulette

Celebrity Dream Sequence
Like a coniferous willow
the cedar loves to droop
because that's its peccadillo
like Paltrow with her Goop.
And she as well sports dangle limbs,
as a fine lady will,
enough to warrant Gwyneth hymns...
if she would pay the bill.
But her rare beauty I would praise
as much as any tree
if by some luck she might upraise
her torso kit for me.
And then proceed to throw it off
to give my hands a chance
to take advantage of that doff,...

A Prelude To A Soft Kiss (Chance Encounter)
Queen of Sheba’s Palace (Sumharam)
Who is this King who speaks before his time
This King Solomon from Israel, he has intrigued the convergent of my mind
My Royal Ladies In Waiting, see to it, my chariot is prepared
I would like to encounter this beguiling royal subject who name is sonorous with castle tales of character, arrogance in his stance, his legendary rule of great and fairness of Israel has become the spiritual echelon, his charm, is noted with a touch of affluency flair
Sacred Orator, transcribe this letter to be delivered with my...

In The Heat Of Creation
There's beauty in this world to see
A smiling morning and a sad sunset
And the flat waters on the calm sea
And a hidden bay, for a lonely boat
There's beauty in the leafed trees
much proud, they rustle in the wind
When tempted gently by a soft breeze
They give a soft sigh as a yes hint
And when the birds flock and migrate
South or north, for warmth or cold
For fine sunshine, a climate temperate
Nonstop-voyage it's what we are told
The lakes limpid, and waters placid
And striders glide,...

Familiar Voices
trapped in a crowd of faces and hands
chattering words and making demands
tired of smiling, I need to get away
(wrap me in inky black velvet)
my only strength is my will to breathe
(reach for me in the shadows)
I’m waiting, lonely in the empty dark
waiting for their songs
to touch me
familiar voices pull me off the ledge
familiar voices soothe my weary soul
familiar voices sing me back to the light
familiar voices bring me back to whole
chattering words and making demands
tired of smiling, I need to get away
(wrap me in inky black velvet)
my only strength is my will to breathe
(reach for me in the shadows)
I’m waiting, lonely in the empty dark
waiting for their songs
to touch me
familiar voices pull me off the ledge
familiar voices soothe my weary soul
familiar voices sing me back to the light
familiar voices bring me back to whole

God save the king
five days of rain
the Ohio river is
angry
the Ohio river
wants revenge
upon the
land
the Ohio river
wants revenge
on small towns
that line it's muddy,
ancient, holy
banks
rain for five days
the Ohio River opens
it's Promethian
maw
swallows deeply the
storms like a thirsty
man lost in a
desert
and grows strong
fat and
rageful
the catfish feel
it
the barges grow
uneasy

My darling you\in love with fairies
with hair spun as finest silver
she sits beside me as we stare
only this distinct distance
laden moons ignite her eyes
here no dark nettles grow
for she can hear light fall
Ella reminds me
of the lulling loons
their spellbind tune
I once heard
these dulcet tones
waters brought me clarity
Elphin is her name
Yeats already was her brother
he initiated fairy belief
I willed...
