April
April is the cruelest month” ~ T.S Eliot
She makes her faux promises
but only one at a time
disguised in soft rhyme
hoping that I will not notice
First by being friendly warm
then she is brusquely cool
in an effort to fool
those who are not poets
Tricking all the prosaic
with her floral mosaic
such a vivid swirl
while the flowers bloom
Knowing all the while
she wears this vernal smile
always tailor made
for any springtime day
Finally she kicks up icy winds ...

Stone
Here behind the stone
I do remain alone
cold as deep winter
yet bold as mid July
Whether a pale blue sky
or thick grey cloud
I recite my words aloud
for all to clearly hear
For my heart is a bastion
a strong lone citadel
only willing to tell
some of its dark secrets
Each one put in its place
behind this masque of a face
smooth yet chipped
until the sharp quill is dipped
Memories of a true love
now below were once...
I do remain alone

Taking My Time
I want to hold each moment
let it then foment
within its own passion
model its own unending fashion
down the length of the runway
let it have its final say
Grappling with the night
as I drown within the write
let the words come then go
ride their most subtle flow
until the end of the page
until I find the key to the cage
Does any of this make sense
marinated in all this pretense
all of this circumstance
drives the tempo of this dance
of the puzzle of you and me
how the solution is never free
...

Forgiveness…
That we who follow you
invented forgiveness
and forgive nothing” ~ W.S. Merwin
It is such a quaint invention
with such a short attention
this unending span to cross
this old rickety bridge
across another rocky ridge
above wide and deep betrayal
though I try my very best
I never pass this recurring test
let bygones be gone by
Perhaps some day I will
swallow the correct colored pill
leave these wrongs behind
right there in the rear view
getting ever smaller ...

Shade of Pale
Such is the tint of desire
when love with its sole fire
once more then fades
darkening once hopeful glades
Now that this chill in the air
foretells a looming despair
about the state of things
about the unfaithfulness of rings
For I have rarely looked above
in search of inspirations of love
knowing how even stars
hide their many betraying scars
Can you feel these words I say
now that you are far away
from understanding all you left
to this one still alone so bereft
Fading colors fill my mind...
when love with its sole fire
once more then fades
darkening once hopeful glades
Now that this chill in the air
foretells a looming despair
about the state of things
about the unfaithfulness of rings
For I have rarely looked above
in search of inspirations of love
knowing how even stars
hide their many betraying scars
Can you feel these words I say
now that you are far away
from understanding all you left
to this one still alone so bereft
Fading colors fill my mind...

Deep Blue
Can I ever believe
when she threatens to leave
that anything she says
is ever really true
So, I watch the tide
each time its denied
as she ebbs and flows
with deep blue as her hue
Left so briny when I cry
one tear falling for each lie
when she threatens to leave
that anything she says
is ever really true
So, I watch the tide
each time its denied
as she ebbs and flows
with deep blue as her hue
Left so briny when I cry
one tear falling for each lie

An Argentine Summer
The rose we remember
the thorns we forget” ~ Sade
This sultry summer in December
helps me to then remember
when I was again young
when I still could believe
Love would never leave
the very same way it came
along a Buenos Aires street
when I had the chance to meet
A pair of sapphire blue eyes
concealing their deceitful surprise
the thorns we forget” ~ Sade

Guenevere
It appears that I am still here
your long lost Guenevere
never able it seems
to then live up to your dreams
A little bit of playful rhyme
finally ended all of our time
put an end to our tryst filled days
as we forever parted ways
It seems that you wanted her
someone less nobler to prefer
not just a fanciful fling
with one who still wears his ring
So, I do muddle here along
making a duet a soloist song
making music now all alone
as I continue to try to...
your long lost Guenevere
never able it seems
to then live up to your dreams

put an end to our tryst filled days
as we forever parted ways
It seems that you wanted her

Stolen Kiss
With all of this spilt ink
did you really think
that a stolen kiss
would be the last thing I’d miss
did you really think
that a stolen kiss
would be the last thing I’d miss

Thorny
How does a jilted rose
show now all that she knows
about love...
about its briefest season
Leaving without a reason
or perhaps maybe a few
no matter what I do
to hold on to the glimmer
While passions do simmer
just below the boil
as desires dare roil
upending all etiquette
Like subject to predicate
in a loving line of verse
from better to worse
yet longing for so much
Each subtle tickling touch
now a memory forlorn
just sharpens the thorn
right before...

Truest Hue
Sadness is its very own hue
a truer shade of blue
seen somewhere between
the color of sea and sky
Only felt when I cry
only viewed when I have lied
about all those denied
happily ever afters
Camouflaged with laughters
never ever sincere
there to make it clear
that sorrow is the new black
Covering up all we still lack
plunging in the front
allows me to be blunt
about my need for love
As unnecessary as a glove
after the scene of the crime
after the murder...

[Autumn wears her best]
Autumn wears her best
keeps her leaves close to her chest
hiding their true hues
keeps her leaves close to her chest
hiding their true hues
