Nightswimming
Strength awakens
slick
w(h)etted
passion
irony smiles wry
at a lost love
newly
realized
Lavender
hued
happiness
is potent
visceral effervescence
Flowering blossoms
scent the night,
adding breezes
of perfumed bliss
Hybridized—
immutable beauty
fortifies delicate brawn
amid nature's
sustaining
ebb and flow
Hands pull fierce,
idyllic waves
asunder
Distinctive form
invites ardent
fervor.......

The Other Side of it
I am
who I am
As I am
I do however
Live in a world
with others
In all that I do
I just do me
I follow my own path
What I have realized however
Is that the other side of this
Is that you intimidate people
You aren't responsible
for the feelings of others
However it doesn't feel good
To learn that you make others uncomfortable
It's a love hate thing
In the sense that
One must never dumb themselves down
Yet there are genuine people
Who still feel small
You can't...

MENSA
I am a certified
card-holding
genius,
but I was not just born this way.
I read the books
and thought the thoughts,
AND rethought those thoughts,
and tested them,
until they accorded with reality
so well
that they provided correct answers.

Noh Face
The tilting mask crosses the stage
a nebulous cloud of poetic grace
forged in the furnace of latent space
The dying flower of the hidden face
articulates in tender sorrow
unspoken loss of lineage noble
Warriors steeped in samurai creed
perchance in battle encounter defeat
each breath a song to be rephrased
But for one immutable in the Way
an offering to the Sugi tree
weeping petals falling free
Gather on its graceful boughs
instantly honored and received
bows humbly to the mask esteemed...

But for one immutable in the Way

Emotional Roller-coaster
Anxiousness is the order of the day,
Not knowing what to expect in the
Face of the day,
Facing the might of uncertainties
Along with zero guarantees…
All you have is faith in the midst
Of worries,
Your mind all over the place yet
No accurate destination,
Trying to calm and keep it together,
Sigh….
It’s not that simple,
No, it’s not….
The loud sirens in your mind
Causing confusions,
Causing a mental disorder,
Are you losing it?
Are you a mental case?
Or it’s just a case of
A flood of worries...
Not knowing what to expect in the
Face of the day,

Sigh….
It’s not that simple,
No, it’s not….
The loud sirens in your mind
Causing confusions,
Causing a mental disorder,
Are you losing it?
Are you a mental case?
Or it’s just a case of
A flood of worries...

A Day in the Park
the old widow Nature and I
sat on a park bench
along South Fayetteville Square,
this early September morning
She’d come to oversee
the arrival of Queen Autumn
I held her strong, leathery hand
in mine; breathed my hopes and hurts
into her patient, listening ear ~
whenever I thought to pause
and fill my lungs,
her essence danced upon the air
(magnolias join the reverie;
I am transfixed in this moment ~
where the late summer sun
dapples its way through the trees ...

Surrender
surrender to the universe
what will come will come -
surrender to the universe
everything is one
preorgasmic breathing in
then breathing out again -
surrender to the universe
we are all the same
molecules from distant stars
atoms vibrating
conscious of who we are
when meditating -
letting go the endless stream,
ideas and thoughts flow by,
all is much more than it seems
through the inner eye -
lotus-born as children of
something so divine -
surrender to the universe
no more...
what will come will come -

Hello again September...
A kind intermission to what's to come
The FALL is coming again,
As the veil tarries only a little while longer,
Has our preparation been in vain?
I ponder the perfection that awaits
Revisiting the reflections that reach for resolution,
Lord knows I've been waiting to exhale...
A kind intermission to what's to come

As the veil tarries only a little while longer,

just a thought
today,
it is like casting a pebble into a pool of still water
hoping the ripples will come back to my shore,
yet i just went over the waterfall...
the ripples joined the current, giving a last nudge.
then tomorrow...so it will come.

Cavity
I see nothing in my mind,
Just a cavity of where another eye would be.
Just a cavity of where another eye would be.

Tugboat Beautiful Loneliness
Watching them
East River
Pushing cargo
Tankers and barges
Imagine myself at the helm
Pre-dawn and post twilight
Silent except radar
Beautiful loneliness
Spare thoughts
Poems forming
Haven't shaved or showered in days
No contact with people
The fish like me
Dreams come true
