I am a husband/I am a father
met my wife online at 17
we used to send dirty letters to each other
because we didn’t have cellular phones
and logging online was, well dial up
she sent me a throw away camera the one day
told me to develop the photos
I remember the faces of the workers
the one said a remark then handed them over
the pics were of her in her underwear
a first of wild moments
when we met in person was at the airport
I was walking up the ramp when I saw her
it was the weirdest feeling
like a best friend I’ve know all my life
wasn’t...

I'll never get around to leaving you
that book I never finished
that jar of rubber bands
those craft supplies I said I’d give away
the left-handed golf clubs
the watermelon cookbook
the ugly blanket my old friend crocheted
I never got around to learning Spanish
I have a closet full of worn-out shoes
the waffle iron’s safe, and so are you, babe –
I’ll never get around to leaving you
I never got around to playing tennis
I have a planner from 2002
The croquet set’s still here, and so am I, babe –
I’ll never get around to leaving you.

Sacrifice
He said he hates poetry month
I take that as forewarning
I need to get my act together
and write poems in the morning.
I promised we'd have a date tonight --
it was even my idea!
But here I sit, trying to force
some poetic diarrhea.
It's not just chores that take a hit
when April rolls around --
workouts suffer, sleep does too,
relationships run aground.
Now I've stretched this rant past fifty words;
I'm done hurting for my art.
It's time to find a little romance
with the guy who holds my heart. ...

CULTURE
Together
exploring meaning
of staying
together 43 years --
a poet's madness:
in the park
seeing the green in her eyes
joy wells up:
she feels the silver blue
the leaves breathing her touch
Saturday lunch
at Bhuddha's bar --
my second beer bottle
they deprive in Bihar
transgressing old culture
myriad lines
in the hollow of my palms
joined in prayer
prepossessing humor
cynically exchanged
in the bright sun
my dark shadow
parts company
under the banyan ...

The One
our time plays like a movie
when I first saw your face
and when we first kissed
the restaurant we went
on our first date
meeting the family
spending our first holiday
our first pet
we took care of them
in our first place
going to my job at the factory
not my first
but felt like my first big responsibility
got a little older, got married
had hardships
lost family, friends, pets
how I miss them
that time flew again
got even older
hobbies changed
we changed, the world changed
yet we...

The Divorce
When it happened, I was very angry and I was also stunned.
My wife filed for a divorce just because Donald Trump won.
My wife is smart, sophisticated and she's also very pretty.
But I learned that she's also superficial, shallow and petty.
My mother always told me to appreciate what I've got.
But if you're wondering if I still appreciate my wife, I sure as hell do not.
When she broke my heart, she didn't even feel remorse.
After seventeen years of marriage, she filed for a divorce.

My Love, my love
With thee, i've found my heart may stay,
Through fleeting dusk and break of day.
Thy heart, be near, belongs to me here,
And guides my own in every way.
Four years we've known, yet in the past,
Still hold us firm, though years be vast.
No, not one old hour, can time overpower,
For thou art mine from first to last.
When tempests rise, as God has willed,
Thy whisper, a balm, bids all be stilled.
Within your grace, I rest in this place,
And with thee, all my needs fulfilled.
Oh, Lauren dear, by fate entwined, ...
Through fleeting dusk and break of day.
Thy heart, be near, belongs to me here,
And guides my own in every way.
Four years we've known, yet in the past,
Still hold us firm, though years be vast.
No, not one old hour, can time overpower,
For thou art mine from first to last.
When tempests rise, as God has willed,
Thy whisper, a balm, bids all be stilled.
Within your grace, I rest in this place,
And with thee, all my needs fulfilled.
Oh, Lauren dear, by fate entwined, ...

If I was right
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...

Cavernous Echoes
Cavernous echoes
Inside the chamber
Where dust gathers
Course infinity
Ethereal breath amaze
Comfort succumbs
Filthy hands
Dare to handle
Touch a soul
Death inside
Suffocated prison
Paranoia hinted walls
At the prospect
Closing in
An escape alone
Devoid of purpose
Hidden in truth
Moments recall
Universal secrets
Into the abyss
Graven gaze
Eyes deeply
Fixated hypnosis
Mood transforms
Lust tempts
Deity life transpose
Nothing...

Hexed In Lexical Nexus
Hexed in lexical nexus,
stressed direction of sentence,
lest reflection neglected,
depth perception relentless.
Next is breathless connection,
pressing head spins of guesses,
rending penchant complexion,
yet discretion regrets it.
Best attention projected,
less than heaven presented,
let conception demented,
when expression extended.
Exponential eccentrics,
bet bedeviling death wish,
kept perpetual plexus,
net ephemeral senses.
Flesh and sexual testing,
meant incredible meshing, ...

Pueblo Wedding
Pueblo Wedding
Cruising the asphalt road to Cibola
Ancient Mission beckons
From the desert shore of a primordial sea
Now sear hills in a brown terrain of mountains
We follow the river of highway
Onto the parking lot
Of the church made from the mud of ages
Shaped by earthen hands of ancestors
Whose chants haunt the whispering wind
Upon parting the gates of the sanctuary
Low and behold a Wedding unfolding
We enter the sacred space
Where ancient art
of pueblo women gathering corn
is frescoed on...

My Lioness Flickers Between Serengeti Moonbeams
My Lioness Flickers Between Serengeti Moonbeams
Our African vacation starts at a luxury hotel in Nairobi. But I pine for a photographic safari into the Serengeti. Over breakfast, I break some news for Jane. “Hey let’s try this on for size. Jane, I want to take you on a safari into Tanzania. Maybe we’ll have an adventure like in a J.G. Ballard novel.”
She says, “You’re so crazy, but truly we could face off with a pride of lions looking for supper. The signs ain’t good darling. The continental breakfast bar at this hotel is more than enough for me. We can go to the...
